James Carville needs your help!

Political pundit James Carville has sent out a mass e-mail on behalf of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee seeking “the bumper sticker slogan that will carry us through the 2008 elections.”

Carville — lead strategist for Bill Clinton’s successful 1992 presidential campaign — said the slogan will be used on the DSCC’s Web site, on campaign literature and on the “bumpers of jalopies from coast to coast.”

The e-mail to presumed Democratic supporters states: “We need a turn of phrase that really jumps out and tells you right off the bat what this election is all about. In 1992, it was ‘It’s the Economy, Stupid.’ In 2006, Democrats simply said, ‘Had Enough?’

…The four bumper sticker slogans offered by the DSCC are:

W Is Out Send the Right Wing with Him

No Republicans Left Behind in D.C.

What Have Republicans Done for You Lately?

2006 Was Just the Beginning More Dems in ‘08

Those are all terrible bumper stickers, so let’s come up with a few suggestions to help out the DSCC and add them in the comments section. Then, later today, let’s say at 5:30 PM or so, I’ll update this post with a top 10 list of the best ideas (Remember, we are talking about bumper stickers here, so keep it to 12 words or less).

Let me get things started…

* If you can read this, your taxes are too low.

* From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.

* There is no baby on board because I aborted it.

* I brake for earmarks.

* Work harder! Hillary has new government programs to pay for!
