From the Democratic Strategist: Today's GOP: The Real Bridge to Nowhere
Here's an excerpt of the riff from roidubouloi:

The Republican party didn't just try to build the bridge to nowhere at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars, the Republican party is the bridge to nowhere. It cannot protect us from our enemies. It cannot protect us from falling behind in global competition. It cannot protect us from the storms and natural disasters the result from climate change. It is not just the party of the past, it is the party of no place, no program, no values."
I like it. Stir in the notion that today's GOP is "not your father's Republican Party" and we get a nifty little bumper sticker:

Today's GOP: The Real 'Bridge to Nowhere
Or a speech/interview/ad zinger:

The Clinton administration gave us peace, prosperity and a bridge to the future. McCain and Palin are offering us a bridge to nowhere.
It may not be as catchy as 'where's the beef?', but "bridge to nowhere" is a familiar phrase that resonates with voters. And it makes the point that the Republicans have no vision or program, other than wielding power.
