The GOP should change their party symbol from the elephant to Yosemite Sam

1) GOP doesnt like change"First of all, republicans don't generally like change, given that they are the Grand OLD Party and they claim to be the bulwarks of traditional values."That is true, but Yosemite Sam embodies those traditional values that the elephant does not, so the change in question would arguably be beneficial to the GOP as it would better help them convey the very traditional values they wish to uphold"Changing their party's symbol may signify that the party of steadfastness aint so steadfast anymore."Changing the party symbol for the first time since 1880 (when the Elephant was adopted) doesn't somehow indicate that the GOP is not steadfast anymore. That would be like saying a country that declares war on another country for the first time in over a hundred years makes them a 'warmongering' nation.2) Military Ideology + Attitude"Having the largest, most advanced military is neither represented by Yosemite Sam's short stature nor his puny little pistols."Yosemite Sam may not be perfect but he is a hell of a lot better than an elephant, whose entire defense are two ivory tusks.... Yosemite Sam may not accurately display the GOP's preference for a strong military, but he is a far better representation of military force than a damn elephant. "While this is quite entertaining for audience members, it (Yosemite Sam's string of failures) indicates a very unprepared, unfortunate, bomb-susceptible symbol...this should not sit well with a party rife with bomb fear."Elephants are scared of mice. Like they actually are scared of mice, Mythbusters tested this and the results they found made them declare the belief plausible http://www.discovery.com...So while Yosemite Sam may not be successful in all of his endeavors, Elephants can get scared over the smallest of rodents, whereas Yosemite Sam does not show fear. While Yosemite Sam has some faults, the faults of the current GOP symbol are far larger than those of Yosemite Sam.3) Visual/metaphor issues"The symbol of Yosemite Sam provided by Pro also shows a very large cowboy hat, which could be interpreted as a sombrero."An Elephants tusks could also be seen as two large white dildos, that doesn't mean that upon closer examination people wont be able to distinguish the differences... Whether a cowboy hat can be mistaken for a sombrero is completely irrelevant, let alone speculation since most people in the American Southwest (Republican strongholds I might add) know the difference between a cowboy hat and a sombrero"While elephants may not be religious or win races, they represent an immovable, unwavering, massive presence."And also scared of small rodents, and beingeasily hunted, and endangered, and almost entirely unarmed...."other land animals think twice before messing with elephants."People also think twice about messing with someone wielding dual pistols in both hands who is also easily agitated. In fact the only person who ever has messed with Yosemite Sam has been a rabbit with a clear death-wish..."The pistols carried around by Yosemite Sam do not represent a competitive global military"And tusks are somehow an improvement? "Yosemite Sam is known for NEVER defeating his adversary and most of the time, he ends up being bombed by his adversary."Last time I checked America gets bombed as well, and doesn't defeat some of their adversaries either.... "Elephants represent an unwavering, immovable stance on issues. Sounds conservative to me."I dont imagine that Yosemite Sam would exactly jump on board with letting gay marriage be legal like younger people in the GOP actually do, who Yosemite Sam also better appeals to than a nameless elephant
