1. Per Mama
That slogan is a registered trademark for an anti-depressant medication. This is really, really funny. They can't stop shooting themselves in the foot.

3. being on an antidepressant is about the only excuse
for voting republic.
My first thought was that the repugs would be getting a kickback from the company for the advertising.

13. didn't mean you'd vote repub if you take anti-depressants
Edited on Thu May-15-08 03:06 PM by rurallib
but if you vote repub you must be taking something to alter reality.
My wife takes anti-depressants also. And she would never,never vote repug.

4. what is interesting about their logo...
...is that it has an ambiguous multiple meanings. Is the GOP saying that we, the citizens of the US, deserve _____ change? Or are they saying they know what change is best for us? Or are they saying we deserve no change?

5. the change we 'deserve.'
I'm just afraid it's the change we deserve for having been so naive as to have already followed one pied piper, and being so ready to follow another.
