I believe the symbol for the Democratic party speaks for itself. They couldn't have picked a more appropriate symbol.

I disagree, it's an odd choice.

Sure it was them that picked it?

well they do use it....

If you were to be on a rough journey down a rugged mountain path, or up, would you want a stead footed ass or a cumbersome elephant.

I guess it depends if you want to be like Hannibal (the Carthaginian military commander that is)

Yup. It seems a stubborn, strong, productive animal. Sounds good to me.

Strong and productive I like, but do you nesicarily want stubborn?

Which party uses the helicopter as its symbol, Jonmarc?

HAAAAA!!

Whose ass?

The donkey or jackass is not the official symbol, but is the most recognized. It also was not originally chosen by the democratic party. During Andrew Jackson's (I think) run for the presidency his opponent referred to him as a jackass and political cartoonist ran with it and started drawing him riding a donkey. Rather than trying to fight the image it was embarrassed for its positive qualities.
