A U.S. Senate candidate in Maine has selected an unusual logo for campaign T-shirts – the guillotine – citing the need for a revolution to remove big money from politics.

The logo, unveiled this week by Democrat Bre Kidman, recalls the execution device known for its role in the 18th century French Revolution and is intended to symbolize revolt by low- and middle-income people, Kidman said.

“The guillotine is an image which calls to mind what people have done for revolution before,” said Kidman, an attorney who’s running for the seat held by Republican Sen. Susan Collins. “If we can find a better path to revolution than that we owe it to ourselves and our country.”

I prefer Romanian term limits.

She's quite a looker.

Collins is a shoe-in for re-election if this is her opponent.

[higgmeister]

She has forgotten the Socialist leader Robespierre was guillotined at the end of the Reign of Terror.

Too bad we have beaten them to it on this idea. Liberals always project and this only reinforces the fact that patriotic Americans are going to have to be ruthless and unmerciful in the defense of our country.

“12-15 lbs”?....yeah...in her face

[The_Media_never_lie]

I think it’s a great idea. I’m pretty sure a lot of royalty and nobility lost their heads during the French revolution

So did a lot of innocents.

The new logo certainly has an edge to it. Cutting technology on display.

Is this woman simply a historical ignoramus or is she advocating murdering people by the tens of thousands?

If you have to ask....

Come and get us Byotch. We’re the deplorables. And we are not helpless. If you come to get us we may die but we’ll take 4 or 5 or more of you with each of us.

[Vaquero]

“Bitchy McDyke” would be a good name for it.

[dp0622]

So what they got the bad guys too and there were still plenty of citizens to go around

[dynachrome]

“Captain Ahab, pick up the white courtesy phone, please.”

[freedomjusticeruleoflaw]

Guillotines can be used both ways... how ironic will that be?

[NativeSon]

Yikes! How about a fork with a “buster” sign, or maybe a salad bar as her new symbol.

[wrcase]

Is that Bloomberg’s dad?

[Mouton]

but we’ll take 4 or 5 or more of you with each of us.

I am not going to be that conservative, I expect to take many more if it comes to that.

I was thinking of everything over the jawline & 2nd vertebrae. You are right though. If you add in the rest of the weight of this fathead, probably closer to 30-35.
