How does this sound: Return To Commonsense Vote Democratic
as a slogan for this year.
We've been away from using our common sense the last five or so years, let's return to using it.

5. might work with most folks.. but i have always personally
seen the term as too vague.

one man's cs, is not so to another man.

also, what is "obvious" or cs to one, is often disproven by hard science.

so i shy away from that term.

but, as i say, might work for most folks. test it out on lots of readers. see if it works.

thanks for working on our need for good memes. memes are so good to have. we need good ones.

7. I like it because it's short
and to the point in our soundbite world three words say enough to get the juices flowing.
A commonsense aproach to war.
A commonsense approach to taxes.
A commonsense approach to eductation and so on....
