If you don't like 'We can do better' what's a better slogan?

[yurbud]

'We can do better' would be a lame slogan for an 8th grade class president campaign.

What's a better one to replace it that sounds tough and progressive?

Off the top of my head, I'd say

'Public servants not corporate criminals'

'Don't privatize and sell off our country'

or Al Gore's 'the people not the powerful'

or something.

We can do better here at DU--or at least I hope you can do better than the ones I came up with.

[jeannicot]

1. A slogan has to stay positive.

"clean government" instead of "end corruption", for example.

Try not to have "no" or "not" in it.

Yes, the only slogan worse than "we can do better" is "we can't do any worse"

[yurbud]

12. you are wrong. the negative implies conflict and conflict gets attention

and shows that there's a problem that needs to be fixed--you convert a policy position into a story, and people like stories more than position papers.

It would be best to say 'clean government not corruption' or better yet, 'clean government not corrupt cronies.'

Dare to make it good guys and bad guys. You know the GOP will anyway.

[jeannicot]

44. Positive slogans imply intent to govern.

You don't have to spell out the conflict in your slogan. "Clean government" or better yet, "cleaner government" implies the other side is dirty, shows you are above petty partisanship (while beating the other side in the partisan fight) and tells a good uplifting story.

[yurbud]

110. implies is not enough for those of average intelligence or below

Clinton made the appearance of bipartisanship and occasionally the reality work, but I think a lot of that was because he seemed unusually empathetic and sincere, so the impression slopped over onto good will toward what he said and did.

How do you think the Republicans got a lock on all three branches (besides cheating and having a bottomless pit of corporate money)?

Bush does this still and only uses 'bipartisanship' when it means agree with him.

[King Coal]

133. I like, "It won't do any good." best of all.

2. Americans don' t need leaders, every one of us is a leader.

3. "dude they're fuckin you!"

"Your hamburger helper is helping the rich keep their tax cuts"


just off the top of my head.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

4. "FIGHTING TO KEEP 1984 A WORK OF FICTION"

[iconoclastNYC]

94. Love it directed at the educated.

But they usually vote our way anyway. Too many people have never heard of 1984.

[qanda]

5. My 9 yo son came up with

"Imagine the future" and "2008, what dreams are made of"

Of course he wasn't trying to come up with slogans, he was just dreaming about the day Bush will no longer be in office.

[Kierkegaard]

6. How about:

"Fascism. It's not just for breakfast anymore"

"At least we won't tap your phone"

"Democrats ain't no monkeys"

"We have no ties to the Bush crime family"

"What?"

[iconoclastNYC]

98. Impeachment: It's not just for blowjobs anymore!

[iconoclastNYC]

99. Our Democratic Agenda for America

"More freedom, less fear. Progressive priorities for America."

106. Excellent!

Too bad the jury's still out on whether politicians at large consider treason and murder to be as diabolical as a blow job.

[CJCRANE]

7. "Vote for us and the rest of the world might actually like America again"

[MissWaverly]

8. Bring back FDR's 4 Freedoms

I often think in these dark days of Roosevelt saying that we should have freedom from fear.

Franklin D. Roosevelt's Address to Congress January 6, 1941

In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms.
***The first is freedom of speech and expression
***The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way
***The third is freedom from want
***The fourth is freedom from fear

http://www.wwnorton.com/college/history/ralph/workbook/ralprs36b.htm

[yurbud]

16. wow--that would be a stark contrast with the Bushies 4 Fear Factors:

At some time or other, Republicans have said some version of the opposite of each:

***Watch what you say. If you disagree with us, you are helping the terrorists.

***America is a Judeo-Christian nation and our government should acknowledge that

***If you are hungry or cold or poor, you deserve it.

***If you are not afraid, you should be.

[MissWaverly]

31. Roosevelt made it clear that everybody in the World had them

I can't see FDR invading an oil rich country over a lie. I like what you say about
Bush's Fear Factor, turning these principles around it's truly like a mirror
image. Also after the depression, he stressed that his presidency would be
A Return to Normalcy. I realize that this would have be updated into today's jargon,
but I think Americans want to move past 9-11, past Iraq and go on with their lives.

[yurbud]

89. I thought 'return to normalcy' was Harding

[MissWaverly]

107. You are correct

I did not realize that, my parents who lived through the "Great Depression" always said
that Roosevelt brought a "Return to Normalcy" and brought out us of the "Great Depression"
but now I see now it was a slogan for isolationism.

[yurbud]

109. FDR should have said 'normalcy is not enough'

[MissWaverly]

116. I think we need a return to normal rational reality based actions

I have included a chart on the last major wars, why didn't we work out a diplomatic
solution to Iraq, Bush was itching to go to war with Iraq, see how this administration
has run up the tab with this war.

This is the cost of the last major wars, (I did not include the conversion into 1990s dollars, because I think it's not relevant.)
Billions
World War II (1941-1945) 288.00
Korea (1950-1953) 54.00
Vietnam (1964-1972) 111.00
Gulf War (1990-1991) 61.00
Iraq War 250.00
http://www.cwc.lsu.edu/cwc/other/stats/warcost.htm
http://costofwar.com/numbers.html

[yurbud]

118. he wasn't looking for diplomatic solution because only 'problem' was

how to justify invading.

[MissWaverly]

119. We need to say something about responsible leadership

during this election, really get it down there on the level of a beer ad so that the
American people can understand it.

[yurbud]

120. be more blunt: the Oval Office is not a candy store where you can hand

out free samples to all your friends at the expense of taxpayer dollars and our soldiers lives.

[MissWaverly]

128. How about the President serves all of US not Special Interests

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

54. The Six Freedoms of the Newer American Century

While I am not sure that FDR can be improved upon which just shows how universal and timeless this stance is - But, I believe it could be modernized and expanded upon with perhaps 2 additional freedoms -1) The freedom of equal rights to all. FDR did live before our era of civil rights and womans lib and openness and acceptance of different sexual preferences, etc. 2) the freedom conveyed by elections without doubt.

The Six Freedoms of the Newer American Century:

Freedom of Speech and Expression
Freedom of every person to worship or not worship the God of his choice
Freedom from Want
Freedom from Fear
Freedom of equal civil rights to all
Freedom granted by a free, fair, equitable and transparent vote

[MissWaverly]

108. I like it, I also like Freedom for a New America

[NC_Nurse]

9. How about...

This is bullshit, let's try something else.

The Golden Rule, let's try it.

Why not help EVERYBODY?

Do you wanna make that next evolutionary leap? Or shall we fall with the rest of the Medieval people?

[yurbud]

19. That's a good one! the GOLDEN RULE: Do unto others as you would

have done unto you. It has Christian roots, but should not be offensive to anyone.

When we tackle any problem, this is how we should do it. If MY kid was a drug addict, what would I want society to do? If I was an Iraqi, what would I want the US to do? and so on.

Democrats do this some, but the GOP doesn't do it at all.

This would be a way to seize the moral high ground and make the republicans look like the greedy soulless fart-knockers that they are

[Warpy]

10. We WILL do better

Work ought to PAY.

Healthcare is a RIGHT.

Criminals in suits are still criminals

11. Building A Greener Future or A Greener Tomorrow For Our Children

[godhatesrepublicans]

14. How about "WE TOLD YOU SO?"

“If we can say nothing else, at least we can say “I told you so!”

A plea for public gloating by Brian Hollister Davis, webmaster of godhatesrepublicans.org.

Like most people who never voted for President Bush, I have one particular part of his 2006 State of the Union address that bothered me the most. For me, it was the following section.

“In the coming year, I will continue to reach out and seek your good advice. Yet there is a difference between responsible criticism that aims for success and defeatism that refuses to acknowledge anything but failure. Hindsight alone is not wisdom. And second-guessing is not a strategy. With so much in the balance, those of us in public office have a duty to speak with candor.” (For the text of the complete speech so you can find your “most annoying section”, I suggest http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0601/31/se.01.html)

Why did this part bother me so much more than any other part? It’s the arrogance of the “Hindsight is not wisdom” crack at me and the millions of people who have ALWAYS said that invading Iraq was a stupid, obvious mistake. Like many millions of other people around the world, I wrote letters to newspapers, marched, called my Senators and Congressmen, everything I could think of to prevent this disaster.

Three years ago, Bush gave a typically inarticulate brush-off to those of us who thought his policies were, to be blunt, mind-bendingly stupid.

George W. Bush said on February 18, 2003, “First of all, you know, size of protests--it's like deciding, `Well, I'm going to decide policy based upon a focus group.' The role of a leader is to decide policy based upon, in this case, the security of the people.” To hear it in his own words, I suggest you go to http://www.npr.org/programs/atc/transcripts/2003/feb/030218.gonyea.html.

How dare anyone, least of all this idiot boy-King, accuse us of indulging in hindsight and second-guessing? We were against this idiocy from Day One! We were right; they were wrong. Case closed!

I don’t know if the damage to America’s standing in the world can be fixed at this point, but I doubt it. I also doubt that the damage done to America’s economy, the planet’s environment or even our national psyche by five years of Republican mismanagement can be fixed in our time.

We should try, but short of a second coming of Franklin Delano Roosevelt I’m not optimistic.

But when there’s nothing else that can be said, there is always one thing you can say that can restore a certain satisfaction to a horrible situation. That is, “WE TOLD YOU SO.”

Arise, fellow Progressives, Liberals, Greens and all the others who have been against the Insane-Republican, Neo-Conservative agenda since day one, and say with one voice, “WE TOLD YOU SO!!!”

In this spirit, I recently started http://www.WeToldYouSo.org to distribute bumper stickers proclaiming to the rest of the world “We Told You So.” I’ll also be displaying pictures of those who want to send me photos of their stickers on their cars, or anywhere they wish to put them.

We’ve all been against this rising tide of borderline-Fascism since the beginning, and we should be upfront about it. And at the very least, we’ll all feel a little better for proclaiming it.

Brian Hollister Davis is the webmaster and primary author of http://www.godhatesrepublicans.org.

Please feel free to forward this email to friends, family, blogs, mailing lists, newsgroups and media figures. Help spread the word that WE TOLD YOU SO!!!

[Viva_La_Revolution]

83. Whoo hoo! Welcome to DU!

[Justice Is Comin]

15. Remember how the Bush dicks

used a deck of cards for the terrorists.

I like the idea of trying to incorporate that somehow into using them to show the Bush failures, each one in order of highest priority. Or the faces of those already indicted or involved in scandals. The theme could then be the The Republicans House Of Cards .

I've been thinking about this for awhile now. I think it could be catchy and memorable.

[smomfr]

24. Together we can recover what we lost.

[yurbud]

33. Fix what Bush broke...

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

26. This is brilliant! Brilliant I say!

Right off the top it gives you 52 talking points or scandals or criminals or however you want to utilize this concept.
It would be fabulous to use in the Abramhoff scandal since that actually involves gambling and casinos, but it may be too good to limit it to just that.

Maybe numerous decks with different themes. Collect them, trade them with your friends - factoids on the back of them. Someone rush this into to production right this minute! Justice is Comin - go for it!

[Evergreen Emerald]

28. That is a great idea.

[Justice Is Comin]

42. The cards could be a visual too.

Or choose any face card and have it blown up to make a specific point. Once you get a symbol that has a visual identity that is tough to defend against. Remember the white flag ?

I really do think this has traction.

[trudyco]

81. Yeah, I like this idea, too - you have a house of cards with *

scandals, then a brick knocking it down with a Dem idea on the brick, then a house being built out of bricks - each brick marked with a positive Democratic value (jobs at home, healthcare, privacy, fiscal responsibility, etc).

Democrats: building a strong America, bringing back a balanced government.

[Little Star]

39. Justice Is Comin you should market that idea

It really is good. Think about starting a thread to name the cards. I bet DU could come up with a very good deck for you. I would buy more than a few for my family as small presents or even stocking stuffers. I bet that all those latin american countries would love em!

[Straight Shooter]

17. I would like something simple, like ........ United we stand.

I'm almost sick to death of the divisions that bush has created, not just within this country, but in the world.

No one at this point agrees with his bullsh*t statement that he's a uniter and not a divider. We do need to stand united again, because we are falling apart, in more ways than one.

18. "Because Fascism Doesn't Look Right on America" nt

[JudyM]

21. Security and prosperity with integrity.

[Katherine Brengle]

22. No negatives, it immediately invokes fear.................... >>>

We can't use any negative language in slogans--negative language immediately invokes fear. Fear is what drives people to accept having their freedoms taken away.

That's why the right loves negativity, because it encourages a culture of fear and drives people to accept extremes.

How about something to do with progress, prosperity, respect, transparency (but I wouldn't use this in an actual slogan because it could invoke a negative frame), and working toward a brighter future for the American people?

[yurbud]

30. Do you read any novels? ALL involve conflict/obstacles toward goals

if you don't have that, which looks like negativity to some people, you bore the shit out of people, and way before they get bored, they will tune you out.

Part of what we need to do is define ourselves by what we are NOT and what the Bushies have done that we think is excessive.

With so many democrats coming from Hollywood and the arts, I can't believe that people fail to grasp this fundamental point.

Even when you tell stories about your personal life to your friends, do you just talk about the nice things that happen or the difficult? and which do people pay more attention to?

[Katherine Brengle]

45. Of course, you are right, remember how well it has worked so far? >>>>

I don't like infighting, as I believe we all need to work together in order to effect change, but get real.

Novels are fiction for a reason.

Life is not fiction. Our countried problems are not fiction. What I said in my last post is true. The kind of pseudo-fascism we are inching toward under a RW administration is a direct result of the media and both parties cultivating a culture based on fear.

When you are afraid, you will latch onto anything that you believe will save you. The RW has made people believe that they are the saviors and that we aren't capable of protecting the American people.

Invoking fear through negativity will only reinforce this existing frame.

(I read novels from time to time, for a break, but you might think about reading some political science and history non-fiction so you can understand what I am saying.)

38. ...... This was your country ...... This was your country with George Bush

[rpgamerd00d]

40. "A country worth fighting for."

Think about a speech that mixes this in, like this:

(part of Kaine speech, modified)
"Our federal government should serve the American people. But that mission is frustrated by this Administration’s poor choices and bad management. Families in the Gulf Coast see that, as they wait to rebuild their lives. Americans who lose their jobs see that, as they look to rebuild their careers. And our soldiers in Iraq see that, as they try to rebuild a nation.

As Americans, we do great things when we work together. Some of our leaders in Washington seem to have forgotten that.

Join our fight to make America a country worth fighting for.

In Virginia – and other states – we’re moving ahead by focusing on service, competent management and results. It’s all about bringing people together to find common sense solutions to our common problems. That’s how we in Virginia earned the ranking of America’s “Best Managed State.”

Join our fight to make America a country worth fighting for.

You know, no matter what political philosophy you hold, or what state you call home, you have a right to expect that your government can deliver results. When there’s a crime or fire, you expect that police and firefighters have the tools to respond. When there’s a natural disaster, you expect a well-managed response. When you send your children to school, you expect them to be prepared for success. And, you have a right to expect government to be fiscally responsible, pay the bills and live within its means."

[sendero]

41. I'm not serious ..

... because I cannot think of any positive ones that would work.

So here goes:

"How do you like your cake?"

"There is no health-care crisis, if you are rich"

"The Iraq War: like there was a shortage of terrorists beforehand"

"Bush is universal: he hasn't seen a single thing he couldn't fuck up"

[Katherine Brengle]

Go right for the only remaining strong suit that the dictator Chimp still has in his political tricks bag. We need to highlight at every opportunity that Chimp and HIS PARTY has had 6 years to capture Bin Laden.

I also believe that directly attacking the mental health of Chimp would be useful if done consistently and forcefully. Actually put the Repukes in the untenable position of having to release a psychological evaluation of Chimp to prove otherwise.

I would like to see a campaign slogan similar to this statement because * and his admin are in the middle of taking it from us yet these are the words of so many great Americans that hold so much meaning for so many citizens who call this nation home. It literally hits home to all who feel disconnected from this government. We all want it and we want it protected for us. WE all expect our government to safe guard it for us thru our laws. It is a positive message that hits at the heart of what matters most to each of us, our homes, our families, our safety.

What do you think ???

126. "It's a choice you're making"

"...choose a better way"

"...there's a choice we're making, we're saving our own lives"
"It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me"

132. Change the Course

The * administration is always pointing to their disasters and insisting that we "stay the course." A uniting theme for all DEM candidates should be "change the course." List all the bad things that have happened and will happen because of the "course" and then how a change in course would improve things.

Edited for spelling.

Change the Course. Simple. Straightforward. Imperative.
