New GOP logo

1. The use of the word 'Queens' kinda bothers me.

I wish that a better word or phrase could be used, but be dammed if I can think of it. Maybe someone can come up with one.

[madinmaryland]

2. We called our daughter a "drama llama".

[alfredo]

6. Ha!

[BainsBane]

3. I agree

I don't like the slogan.

[alfredo]

4. In use it applies to both genders.

[BainsBane]

7. It evokes

queen as in woman or gay man. That is what one thinks of when seeing the word. Given that the GOP is hostile to both groups, I think it an inappropriate choice.

[alfredo]

8. Can you find a gender neutral term?

[BainsBane]

10. Well I think you have to ditch the whole phrase

Drama and queen go together, but there must be another sort of slogan that would convey the same meaning. I'm having a stupid day, but if I think of something I'll let you know. Be clear that I am not accusing you of bigotry or animus of any kind. I'm just saying the slogan isn't the best. I'll have some coffee and think about it. There are DUers far better at this sort of thing than I, however.

[alfredo]

12. Depending on your time zone, you might have to make it decafe.

[BainsBane]

15. That wouldn't do any good

brainstorming here: "Putting the I in whine"

[alfredo]

18. Yeah. I like that.

[BainsBane]

24. Did you see this one?

I'm irrelephant, or something similar.

Cry babies would work, but it's awfully basic.

[alfredo]

30. That's good. I will see what other insults I can put on that pachyderm.

[alfredo]

21. This Anna Marie Cox article was my inspiration.

http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jul/14/gop-self-destruction-millennials-conservatives-backlash

"The backlash machine has finally backfired with a generation that cringes at old people yelling at gay clouds"

[trof]

9. The GOP is hostile to most things we accept and espouse.

It Fits.

[alfredo]

14. An article I read about millennials mentioned that is how they see the GOP.

[trof]

17. I think it's only a matter of time before we become a one-party 'republic'.

Demographics don't lie.
And that's kinda scary.

[alfredo]

19. The GOP tried to make the US a one party system, but they failed.

Maybe they were successful, but not in the way they hoped.

[Zambero]

26. The term has been used in a non-specific manner for years

This annoying category of individual is common across a wide range of demographics and as such goes well beyond any limits of gender or sexual orientation. Boehner for one has certainly earned the title.

[alfredo]

5. As I remarked below, it is applied to both genders as anyone that

overreacts to any given situation.

[freshwest]

11. My favorite graphic for them. (Warning, it scares some people):

The GOP is paid to be dramatic, but they are bad actors. And afraid to let their Kochdaddy down. He might cut off their goodies, so they try very hard. Their act is getting more and more stale.

[alfredo]

13. Maybe replacing the pentagrams in their logo with that would be good.

[freshwest]

16. Ah, you mean this pentagram?

Thom Hartmann performs an Exorcism on the GOP - Really!

Uploaded on Jun 29, 2011

Proof that Bush & Republicans have gone to the Dark Side with the Devil stars.

A DUer once had a sigline I loved:

Republicans serve The Beast.

From the dawn of mankind they are the regressive element that's been holding back and destroying our civilization. They nourish other-dimensional entities that feed on misery, pain, and chaos.

Republicans are their minions, and hope to share in these entities' power, or be spared the pain.

But The Beast never shares; The Beast never spares.

Think about that for a second, GOP!

[alfredo]

20. That's something that needs to be sent to FB

[freshwest]

22. Ah, I don't do Facebook and the latter isn't mine. But both are spot on, huh?

Guess you could post them as Hartmann's and from 'Anonymous' (not the official one).

The prose reminds me of a scene in the movie They Live.

The youtube clip is entitled They Live The Sellout.

Best protrayal of a Republican grifter ever.

[alfredo]

23. No problem posting youtube videos on FB. It gives exposure.

[jmowreader]

25. The correct "new logo" would be unrecognizable, unfortunately

Does anyone know how to draw an elephant with its head up its ass in such a way that it doesn't look like a ball with legs?

[alfredo]

27. There's a whole list of things I could think it could be doing but elephants aren't that flexible.

[jmowreader]

28. Well then, this it will have to be

[alfredo]

29. He's giving the keynote speech at GOPAC.
