Simple Democratic slogan for '06: "Had Enough?"

[WI_DEM]

It worked when the GOP used it in the 1946 midterm elections which brought the notorious 80th Congress to power that Truman railed against in 1948. I think the slogan would be equally effective for Democrats in '06--given war, high gas prices, the coming recession, and the ethical problems of the GOP.

1. How about "Stop the insanity"

Works for me

[Child_Of_Isis]

2. I like it!

Very catchy.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

3. Had enough

perfect.

[petgoat]

4. I Kinda Like

86 43 in 07



But Had Enough! is good too.

[OKNancy]

5. I like it

Simple, and to the point. Also by asking a question, it leads to the answer - opens a discussion.

[Kralizec]

6. I like it too! Except I would be including the Democratic Party in that

statement as well. As far as I am concerned, the Dems have failed me, and us.

Peace.

[tridim]

7. Or.. "Remember Clinton?"

Or "Remember the 90's?"

If Gore runs he should definitely run on "Remember Clinton".

[xultar]

8. I love it with a pix of a kicking ass kicking ass!

[Tatiana]

9. I love it! n/t

[tatertop]

10. it's a winner

[DesertRat]

11. Short and to the point...I love it.

[ThumperDumper]

12. I love it. It should be followed by, "SEE we TOLD you so!" n/t

[Boneman]

13. I think this is perfect..................nft

sss

[Ferret Annica]

14. Never give these people an inch

hit them hard, and show no mercy. Kerry should have had a 'pit bull' to take on and slash the Swift boat liars instead of taking the high road and letting them inference him to death.

Kick the bastards where it hurts, do it often, and do it hard.

Drive home the flaws of the Katrina pandering including the over-bloated throwing of money at it with no accountability and empathize how badly illegals exploited to do the clean-up work are being treated and how those with an investment in the community are being kept away and in shelters instead of giving them some of this work.

That's just an example, but I'm sure you get my point.

As Ken Kesey said was the motto of the family portrayed in Sometimes a Great Notion, the Stampers, "Never give an Inch." They were a family of fiercely-independent Oregon loggers struggle to keep the family business alive amidst changing times.

We are for families and people and their future's betterment, the Repugs are anything but. Never give an inch. Kick the Repugs up one side of the street and down the other. I'm pissed and sick beyond death of these cretins.

[Neil Lisst]

15. I like it!

Had Enough? So have we.

Vote Democratic
for a change.

Paid for the Committee to Run the Bastards Out of Town, Neil Lisst, Chairman.

[Im with Rosey]

16. I love it!

Print that puppy up!

[iconoclastNYC]

17. "Only YOU can stop the lies and the corruption. Vote Nov 7"

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

18. Simple, true, and good. Daddy likes!

[TheCowsCameHome]

19. I'll buy that. Short and Sweet.

[cassiepriam]

20. I like it.

[Marr]

21. How about a promise of something better, rather than just an end to

outright 1890's-style corporate rape?

I see too many of the Dems sitting on their asses, waiting for power to just be dropped in their laps. Apparently they think that, if we're beaten up badly enough, we'll vote for them. They don't actually want to jump INTO the mess and push the corporatists BACK- they just want to be the lesser evil.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

50. Yes! Better jobs, education, healthcare, infrastructure.

Simply being "the other party" or "the less tainted party" is not powerful enough. Democratics must start thinking power. Power flows when people feel empowered.

Make platforms and slogans that empower the voters who move over to the Democratic Party.

[Gloria]

22. How about: "Got Screwed Enough Yet???"

eom

[ThomWV]

23. Its Perfect - "Had Enough?" "Vote Democratic '06"

[tlsmith1963]

24. Good Slogan

And yes, I have definitely had enough of the neocons.

Tammy

[dogday]

25. kicked cause I have had enough..............

great slogan....

[Horse with no Name]

26. How bout "Got Ilk"

Then we don't want ya!:silly:

[OnionPatch]

27. Yes, I like it!

I think it's perfect!

[alittlelark]

28. 'Had Enough' is succinct and obvious....

I LOVE IT!!!:evilgrin:

[calmblueocean]

29. Too smug.

It sounds like we're rubbing their noses in America's failures, and you don't get votes that way.

[alittlelark]

30. hmmmm, Uh, GOT MILK?

[theHandpuppet]

51. Not America's failures -- REPUBLICAN leadership failures

Your choice of words was interesting. This is not about America's failures -- it's about the betrayal of Americans by the GOP leadership.

[calmblueocean]

53. It's still too smug.

It's like saying our slogan should be "I told you so!" No one likes a know-it-all.

[tk2kewl]

54. I agree... "Time for new leadership" would give it a positive note

and then describe what that leadership is about and how it will improve the lives of americans.

[gordianot]

31. Add this ..... There is more to come!

[Kurovski]

32. I vote yes! Hell, yes!!

It's a great converation starter, too.

Had enough...war, lies, high prices, incompetence, social security meddling, corruption, torture, decaying schools, phony threats, etc,.

[HR_Pufnstuf]

33. Very good.

nt

[Eric J in MN]

34. Good idea.

Send it to Charles Schumer and Howard Dean, etc.

[Raksha]

35. Great slogan! Pretty much self-explanatory. n/t

[lutefisk]

36. Sounds good- not sure if it's "positive" enough, though

But it's way better than my idea:

"Want us back? Apologize and say please!"

[BlueIris]

37. Hey. That works for me (and I'm hard to please). Keep kicked,

in case any of the The Biggies are reading.

[driver8]

38. How about, "Tired of being effed up the ass"??!!

Short and to the point, I think.

[Behind the Aegis]

39. How's about...

"Got Job?"

"Got Healthcare?"

"Got free time?"

"Got two cars you can fill up with gas and not go broke?"

"Got Safety?"

"Got an invite to a gay wedding yet?" (I am guessing not, so why is that the one thing you are voting on, you broke dumbass!?)

Those are my ideas.

[Tennessee Gal]

40. Had Enough? -- plus

Had Enough? :kick:

[sandnsea]

41. That pain in your head...

it's the Republican Hammer you're hitting yourself with.

Yeah, Had Enough? about sums it up.

[unblock]

42. "where's the beef?" -- we could just recycle those clara peller ads

footage of shrub stumbling and stammering -- where's the beef?

[unblock]

43. "got lies?"

[unblock]

44. "time to clean house"

[unblock]

45. "vote for the democrat -- because your vote matters"

[unblock]

46. "believe in democracy: vote democratic"

[unblock]

47. "democrats believe in democracy"

at the end of a video showing shrub's quotes pining for dictatorship and or quotes of contempt for the public.

[B Calm]

48. You need to add something. Had Enough Outsourcing?

Had Enough Working People?
Had Enough National Debt?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

49. Need positives, not anti for slogans. "Had enough?" is good meme, but

Need positive slogans, not anti-this or anti-that for slogans. "Had enough?" is good meme, but work it into discussions and debates. I wouldn't suggest leading with it. You have to give them positive things to go to the Democratic Party for, otherwise they will drift aimlessly and stay home or drift back to Republicans.

[Pacifist Patriot]

52. Fear is Nothing to Peace and Prosperity

[mondo joe]

55. I hope we can do better than waiting out the GOP's failures.

Seriously - no ideas, no platforms, no nothing. Just "they suck".

[trogdor]

57. Sometimes "they suck" works.

"We don't suck" is implied in that statement. "They aren't getting anything constructive done, but we will" says the same thing. It's a starting point. I certainly hope there are ideas, platforms, etc., forthcoming after the initial attack of "they suck," and I'm not about to join the chorus of "they don't have any ideas" that I'm sick of hearing already.

[mondo joe]

60. It could work (ie, win an election) but it's not enough.

If we just technically win the election but don't have a message that resonates we can only hope to staunch the losses, not make meaningful gains.

[catmandu57]

56. Works for me

DU artists get on it make me a decal I can stick on my front door and on my car.

[maine_raptor]

58. Combine it with "America can do better"

[kurth]

59. It's the economy again

Americans should be encouraged to ask themselves:

"Are we better off now than five years ago?"

With the GM health benefits announcement, it's only a matter of time before corporations make health insurance a "personal" matter for employees. And of course, insurance companies will require prescreening to avoid paying the bills. Now, $8K a year for medical insurance premiums, on top of $3/gal gas...
