Boehner says GOP slogan 'change you deserve' is working out just fine...
Recently, House of Representatives Republican leader John Boehner said that the GOP does not plan to alter the campaign slogan it recently unveiled, despite the fact that the party’s slogan: “Change you deserve,” is actually used to market Effexor, an anti-depressant drug.

“I think it’s working out just fine,” Boehner told Reuters. It still remains unknown if the bright GOP mind that came up with this phrase plucked it from his or her medicine cabinet, but apparently the party is going to stick it out, despite the widespread humiliation that resulted from the slogan. But if that was the case, it’s good that the slogan’s author didn’t reach for the Viagra and produce something like: Viva Republicans (If election results hurt the party for more than four years, call a doctor).

2. I still think my idea for a Republican slogan is better
"Elect us to solve all the problems we caused the last time you elected us"

Simple, succinct, and true.

14. Yep,
Probably why they wouldn't use it, anything close to truth just doesn't resonate in a Reptilian brain.

5. oh please keep using this slogan, there is nothing i like more
than getting in the faces of my extreme right wing relatives and sing songing "Change You Deserve, elect an oil administration, endless war, gas above $4.00, and massive inflation, voted for repubs so you got the change you deserve..." Oh the looks I get.

9. That Slogan Is A Place Holder...The Real One Is "Before It's Too Late"
Some Chicagoans may remember the 1983 mayoral election...Harold Washington had to beat both Richie Daley and Jane Byrne (then mayor...sorta the Hillary of the time) and then went on to face repugnican Bernie Epton...who used that slogan "before it's too late". Didn't mince words much did he? The interesting sidenote is that several of Obama's key people...David Axelrod in specific, worked in that election and I see many of the lessons learned then being applied now.

11. Any time this country goes Republican, it needs a big influx of antidepressants.
So, I guess the slogan's a natural fit.

Way to go, Boner!

God, that guy's dumber than a bag of hoe handles!

13.  Change *I* deserve?
Edited on Sat May-31-08 08:34 AM by AngryOldDem
Just who the fuck did I piss off to deserve it? Please let me know.

And how fitting they stole it from an antidepressant medication -- seeing that sales of those have probably jumped thousandfold over the past eight years.
