Will they eventually replace the Elephant and Donkey as official Dem/Repub nicknames? Quite possibly me thinks...

What say you?

:rotfl:

No , simply because they are interchangable

Why not just call them both "lying at the bottom of the Mariana Trench" and we'll all be better off.

Maybe to a foreigner like yourself.

I just wish that the political parties would spend more time working for the country/citizens than they do for their parties. :nope:

Me too, but i'm beginning to believe it has gone too far for that.

I fear you are correct. And if so, this aint good for our nation. :cry:

No it isn't. I fear a lot of blood will be shed.

Think about it , the only people who use either of those words specificly to describe the fruitcakes of the opposing party are generaly fruitcakes themselves . So for anyone who isn't a space cadet the words are completely interchangable to describe the muppets on the lunatic fringe of either party .

The problem with your theory is that the elephant and the donkey both originated in the same manner, yet over time they became mainstream symbols used by everyone. So too will these.

No they didn't, that german fella didn't create the elephant pictures as a derisory symbol for his own favourite party he used it to symbolise what he saw as the strength of his grand old party .

German Fella = Thomas Nast :know:

Um wrong. It's from Nast's cartoon in Harpers Weekly showing the donkey clothed in a lions skin (representing an anti-civil war faction) , scaring away all the animals at the zoo. One of these animals, the elephant, was labeled "The Republican Vote", which is hardly the complementary depiction you claim it to be.

Copperhead the donkey wasn't representing an anti civil war faction it was representing a confederate faction
