GOP Goes to Court to Change Their Name


  GOP Goes to Court to Change Their Name 
 =================================

Due to their disastrous defeat in the 2006 election, the GOP is going to
court to change their name.

There is a precedent for this.  The Whig party imploded and was completely
repudiated by the electorate so they changed their name to "republican".
Their first candidate was A Lincoln.

At that time, the democrat party was the party of confederate succession.
It remained so until the successionists changed their names from 'democrat'
to 'republican' due to Nixon's southern strategy.

The republican party then took the 'states rights' position of the old
democrats. (When convenient only.) and adopted the confederate stars and
bars as their official flag.

Republicans believe their recent defeat was due to their namby pamby
campaigning that was too genteel and gentlemanly for the US electorate.
They intend to correct that impression by changing their name to the "Up
Yours" party.

Advocates of the name "the Fuck You Party" were upset, but agreed to go
along with "Up Yours" as a compromise.  (The "Nuke 'Em All" faction wasn't
pleased, but they were assured that the party Still intends to actually
'nuke em all'.)

Their symbol will no longer be the ponderous elephant.  It will be a lithe
and spritely raised middle finger.  The finger will reflect the judgement of
the regular "Up Yours" soldiers, and the diamond rings will stand for the
real powers that be in the "Up Yours" party.

(Advocates of the 'Banjo in a NASCAR' symbol declined to comment on the
decision, except to say "Up Yours".)

Country music idol, Jebediah Holybody's anthem ("When In Doubt, Shoot It Out")
won out over Lucy 'Goosey' Bighayer's stirring "Stand By Your Mandrill".
Other members of the 'Beligerant Redneck Music Association' were disappointed,
but they promised to work to make even more bellicose and bigoted tunes for
the next incarnation of the "Up Yours" party.

It is hoped that the new symbolism will strike a chord in their dis-spirited
followers, and rouse them to renewed riot and mayhem in the media, and inside
and outside the polls.

No more republican 'Mr. Nice Guy'.   It's "Up Yours" now.
