Should we Re-Name our party after a Famous Founding Father??

Change is GOOD!

Like the Franklin Party? or the SamAdams Party? or the Hamiltonioan Party?

Maybe we would be less of a target of the Neo-cons!

Cause we celebrate by drinking Samuel Adams beer.

the Re-pukes dont have that!!

That is what we need. An official "Girls drinking beer from around the world" thread.

:)

You can get drunk AND talk like a pirate! Shivver me scrimshanks, if I don't be a liberal Morganite already. Yarrr!!

And all of those people were privileged white males, many of them slaveowners.

And he provided both a work program and a housing program.

so the re-pukes cant take issue with our new "mascott" because thay are white males with slaves too??

Why do I think this would go over better with the guys?

imagine the door to door voter registration drives.. "Hi, I'm with the Hancockian Party!"

:rofl:

You could call it Elbridge Gerry Party bu it does sound like a rock band... Button Gwinnett could appeal to wemon...No? Francis Lightfoot Lee sounds so romantic and so honorable and so sothern... John Penn Might be confused with the arch enemy of the Right Shaun Penn. But my favorite is Rufus King How could you go wrong with that. The right wing would ti-pity toe around that just because they smelled a trap.

I like the Jeffersonian Party (or League)

Jeffersonian-Democrat sounds good, but Jefferson was a Democrat, FDR was a Democrat, JFK was a Democrat, I am a Democrat, and always will be. Being a target of the filthy neo-cons is a badge of honor. When their names are listed with Himmler, Goring, and Goebbels, the Democratic Party, the world's oldest and most honorable political organization, will still be going strong.

1972. If you feel a need for a different name, knock yourself out-hell thats what being a Democrat is all about! But, as for me, I'm a Democrat, not a "Frankliner" or "SamAdamaser" and most certainly NOT a Hamiltonian (Hamilton was the forerunner of todays nutcase conservative Republicans so that choice wasn't in my top 5 million).

But if it works for you, knock yourself out.

for Jacob Broom.

SWEEP THEM OUT!

In the science-fiction novels of the Dune Universe, Broom is an ancestor of the God Emperor Leto II.

Broom thought the president should serve for life... and i'd agree in the case for *moron as long as it was a penal sentence for life.

A definite "no" to William Few -- the party of Few...

But Jacob Broom's a possibility. We could add a Colbertism to the name and call it "Nature's Broom Party -- we've got the moral fiber to clean up D.C."

I have a hunch that he'd be a pretty good President.

He kicks butt!

There's no point in change for the sake of change. Just look at all these "reforms" we've had.

The name "Democratic" is just fine.

they call it re-branding.. and it's a new century too!!

Call it the Jeffersonian Party.
