NEW "new" Repug Slogan= "The Change America Deserves"

[annabanana]

Asked Thursday morning if he was planning to change the slogan, House Republican Leader John Boehner said "No. I think it's working just fine."
But in an e-mail later that afternoon from GOP Conference Chairman Adam Putnam to House Republicans, the new agenda had a new name — “The Change America Deserves.”
A memo sent out hours later from Boehner's political action committee to GOP candidates also included the new slogan.

I, personally, happen to think America Deserves BETTER

[skooooo]

1. that slogan is so fucking lame....

I bet it doesn't last the end of the month before they figure out how much it sucks and try to change it to something else.

[rurallib]

4. Wonder if they will get sued by that drug company for stealing their slogan?

That would be so funny.
"Change you deserve for not paying attention, you moron"

[skooooo]

10. Oh yeah - Effexor right?

LOL

:rofl:

They're so stoooooooooooopid!

[tekisui]

2. Wow, is that lame.

Almost like, "Don't get your hopes up, vote puke and you'll get what you deserve!"

[TwilightGardener]

3. Sounds like a threat.

[annabanana]

7. Yes it does, doesn't it. . . . idiots

They can't do anything right, can they?

[4themind]

5. From Faux Political wire

Seems they've updated it from a similar phrase that was already taken

"House Republicans, hoping to prevent a total landslide in the fall, were getting ready Wednesday to kick off their new policy initiatives. With it, a new slogan: “The Change You Deserve.”

Turns out, someone’s already taken it.

“The Change You Deserve,” one of the many attempts this year to corner the market for “change” is also a now-defunct slogan used by the Wyeth pharmaceutical company to market the antidepressant Effexor. Apparently after getting some heat from the Food and Drug Administration, Wyeth stripped the slogan from the product.

But House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer had a good time with the connection anyway, less than a day after congressional Democrats snagged a contested Mississippi seat out from underneath Republicans.

Speaking with reporters, The Maryland Democrat gleefully pointed out some of the drug’s side effects: Nausea, headache, drowsiness. Apply as needed to Republicans, no doubt.

In their own press conference, Republicans said Democrats have been ignoring American families too long. Rep. Kay Granger, R-Texas, explained the reinvigorated caucus this way.

“The Republican agenda: The Change You Deserve is directed at America’s families, … We’re talking about an agenda for working families in today’s world. And it’s not he family of yesterday, and it’s not the family that we hope tomorrow. It’s talking directly to people and where they live,” Granger said.

House Republican leader John Boehner of Ohio didn’t mention the slogan Wednesday morning, but said the main roll-out later Wednesday would focus on fixing Washington.

“I think when you consider that Americans believe Washington’s broken, we have to show them how it can be fixed, and the fact that we’re committed to fixing Washington,” Boehner said."

13. But you idiots are the ones who BROKE it, Boehner!!

:grr:

[DJ13]

6. "If you're dumb enough to vote for us this year, you deserve what happens afterwards!"

At least they're being honest.......

:rofl:

[RazBerryBeret]

8. If the past 8 years

is ANY indication of what they think we DESERVE....wow, the American people better wake up fast!!!

[DAGDA56]

9. I must have been overheard telling one of my Freeper co-workers that

..."if you vote for McCain, you'll get what you deserve!"

[C_U_L8R]

11. They'll be getting what they deserve alright

the neocons drowned the republican party in their own greed

[featherman]

12. "If America votes GOP this time it WILL get what it deserves"

[skooooo]

14. it won't be much of a change tho...

[Ikonoklast]

15. I have to agree with that slogan

When the greedy bastages get done with squeezing every last dollar out of the rest of us, all we'll have left is change.

[annabanana]

22. (chump "change" for sure). . . n/t

[sutz12]

23. "Vote Republican....for change you can cash in." nt

[movonne]

16. It already got what it deserves (by voting the bush war criminals in) and

now it does deserve better...

[Warpy]

17. Yes, change as in pennies dropped into a tin cup

I don't think the gang that can't think straight are going to confuse anybody out there into voting for the same old, tired hacks to produce any sort of positive change in their lives or the country's fortunes.

[annabanana]

21. oh very good. . "The Change":

Chump Change

[Donnachaidh]

18. So America deserves to be turned into a serfdom for the uber-wealthy Repukes?

Because they've already been working hard on THAT for the past 8 years. Outsourcing good-paying jobs, cutting education funds, allowing the oil companies to raise prices so high many people will be forced to take those low-paying jobs locally.

Yeah Bonehead's party is dragging the US back to the Middle Ages and the horrors we left behind in Europe have finally come to pass. :puke:

[marmar]

19. Bonehead is completely removed from reality....

.... This make's Gingrich's Contract on America sound brilliant.

:dunce:

[grassfed]

20. GOP needs a change

[jimshoes]

24. They should stick with "Stay The Course"

has such a nice ring to it. Cuz that's what they really mean.

[annabanana]

25. They are the anti change party. They always have been, always will be.. .n/t

[Marr]

26. So they're reaching out to the David Vitter wing of the party.

Interesting.

[lame54]

27. Here is Jon Stewart's take on it...

[annabanana]

28. no no. . not THAT new slogan... the NEW new slogan.

They changed it from

"The Change You Deserve" to "The Change America deserves". .

some change, huh?

[lame54]

30. and what did we do to deserve it?

[rzemanfl]

29. Yeah, like the thirty cents I got back out the fifty-four dollars when

I filled the tank this morning. That would make a good ad. The penny you get back for a baked potato at Wendy's. Stuff like that.
