We need some kind of name for our group. |
|
Something catchy we can latch onto instead of "you other people in the Kerry forum". That's too bulky...
I nominate either "Kerry Krew" or "The Kerrymandos" (in referance to our outnumbered but heroic stands in GD and GD: Politics). Any other suggestions?

1. We've called ourselves Kerrycrats |
|
But I haven't seen that specific term in quite sometime.
Kerry Krew is cool. Ha ha ha - it makes me feel like I'm in a hip-hop troupe.
"Word to the Kerry Krew, y'all!"
(My apologies. As a lily-white rural Midwestern girl, my ebonics rather sucks.)

2. I still like Kerrycrats |
|
I'd hesitate to use anything with double K's in it...always makes me wonder if there's going to be a third. (shudder)

3. Kerrycrats seems too demure |
|
for the bloody rhetorical battles we have to fight out there. The covert recruitment is also a little badass for an internet chat board, I think. We need something with a little more muscle.

4. I would suggest Band of Brothers |
|
Which would be awesome... if we were all brothers.
There are more than plenty of sisters here, myself included.
Shit. That one's good, too!
Any other military metaphors people can create, feel free.

6. Yesterday I called us Kerry warriors, |
|
for going over to the other boards to do battle. But I still like Kerrycrats for the non-combat times. To me it means more than liking Kerry, it means believing in his version of the Democratic party. I still think it's catchy.

Kerry Freedom Fighters, back in the beginnings of the Kerry blog. On one night, when the forum crashed and we scoured Google cache to rebuild posts, Teresa dubbed us "Kerry Samurai". That was cool too!

8. Personally, I like Kerrycrats... |
|
I still call myself one, and I am a bit hesitant to call myself a commando.

10. don't you think if John actually knew we existed |
|
as a group I mean, he'd like Kerrycrats? I think about what he'd say or think if a group of his most loyal and dedicated supporters has a militant name. Not sure what he'd think.

12. No, you're right, it isn't |
|
but I do like Kerrycrats better. whatever. If you saw me you'd know why I'd get laughed off the face of the planet if I tried calling myself a commando. Short, and rather small and I sort of bounce when I walk--you know, annoyingly perky. It would be like "Gidget Goes Commando"

15. Not good to have a militant name during a war he |
|
and his supporters believe is in absolute chaos. A peaceful name promotes peace. I think JK would appreciate that.
