  • How stubborn can we be?

    I have to think that the symbols of our two political parties are well chosen.

    First we have the Democrats:

    The Donkey....chosen for stubborn actions, particularly when prodded.  Not always the brightest bulb in the pack but seen as a worker.  Carrys the burdens of others but can be hard to work with at times.

     

    Then the Republicans:

    The Elephant...seen as strong, deliberate, slow moving, usually keeps to a path but can be trained easily.  Simply tie them to a stake and they will not leave that place unless moved by their master or trainer.  Carrys burdens but sometimes goes rogue and causes great harm.

    And we wonder why this government cannot get anything done.

    Maybe they need new symbols to motivate them.

    Any ideas?

  • interesting proposition. i'm still thinking on this one. i kept coming back to the tortoise and the hare. but didn't think that would improve anything ;)

  • @mytoesareblue - Your answer made me laugh out loud.  Props to you for that!

  • I'm afraid changing the symbols wouldn't do much good. Wrong people in the wrong place kinda thing. But, just say that it would. Then one should be the fish from "Finding Nemo" who sang "Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming, Just keep swimming . . ." The other could be a bee, the symbol of hard workers. If we had tenacious, hard workers in congress, maybe - - - but, I'm just dreaming here.

  • @DMMeyer - Excellent!  Although I'm pretty sure the nasty sharks already live there....LOL
