Donkey vs. Elephant? This is no longer the way to express the clash of the two major parties in the USA. While the Republicans proudly display their mascot’s symbol on their party’s web-site the Democrats went out of their way to get rid of the Donkey on their place on the web: Democrats.Org. The mascot with the long ears is replaced by the symbol of Obama instead. Everywhere you click you are invited to join not the Democratic Party, but to join team Obama. It is a creepy choice that resembles a cult of personality. I guess the Democratic Party was trying to refer to the Donkey when they named their blog: “Kicking Ass”. Somebody thought it is a cool move at the time. The Donkey also has a page in the history part of the web-site. We are given the following explanation of the case of the missing donkey there:
Over the years, the donkey and the elephant have become the accepted symbols of the Democratic and Republican parties. Although the Democrats have never officially adopted the donkey as a party symbol, we have used various donkey designs on publications over the years. The Republicans have actually adopted the elephant as their official symbol and use their design widely.
I see! The Democratic Party did not adopt the donkey. But it sure looks like they officially adopted the “O”. Obama’s rising sun is everywhere including the party’s web-site store. While republicans are promoting the elephant as part of their history and tradition, the democrats are promoting Obama. Read the rest of the story here

Hammer and sickle.
The still cannot hide the fact that their leaders are quite “ASSinine” these days.
It’s not about him.
Typical of Democrats to kill American tradition. Thomas Nast is rolling in his grave.
He is an ass after all.
I think we should call him Barrack Obama X.
X being the shape of his job approval index chart.
Besides ol’ Adoph, Has any world leader but Obama had a symbol?
Welcome to FReerepublic
Yeah. The jackass was truth in advertising.
Can’t have that...
Welcome to Free Republic
The dems are asses no matter what sign they use, so they may as well put the donkey sign back up.
Big overreaching mistake.
Just ask your local Democrat office holder.
Todays Democrats are more like Jack Asses anyway. They should keep the donkey.
How fitting, but its not a rising sun—its a setting sun.
I thought the new democrap symbol is a big pile of crap. they could sell it as a Moo Pie, or a Jackass poop. I mean they could really sell in a marketing scheme. buy our (....) and will give you more. The democraps deliver unyielding loads of crap. The story is that Andrew Jackson developed the donkey as his symbol and it stuck with the democratic party since 1834 or 1837.
