We should make the Mammoth the mascot of the Tea party.
Hell of a lot more intimidating than an ole elephant.

I’m old enough to remember the Barry Goldwater campaign of 1964. Some editorial cartoonists at the time did use mammoths as the symbol of Goldwater Republicans, a sort of sneer at them for being supposedly “old-fashioned.”
