The Republican '08 Slogan? Jesus, Mary, and Ronald Reagan Wept!

Not only does the Republican Party need to grow a pair, sack up, look to its roots, and stop losing, it also needs to .... GROW.... A.... BRAIN! I'm not sure who this party is paying to advise it about propaganda, message, logos, and slogans, but if they are paying them more than 25 cents and two Wheaties box tops, they need to get it back.

This item just in from RightWingBozo Central, D.C.:

"It looks like Republicans will counter the Democratic push for change from the years of the Bush administration with their own pledge to deliver, drum roll please, "the change you deserve." - House G.O.P. Adopts Change Theme "

"The change you deserve!" Ah yes, that resonates with the American people.

Speaking for myself, I always expect to get "The change you deserve" in America. If I buy something for $4.95, I expect to get a nickel back. If I don't see that nickel in my hand, you'll hear about it. I like to toss nickels in the penny cup. Makes me feel rich. But as far is this "slogan" goes, I wouldn't give you a plugged nickel for it.

The fact that the Republican Party would even think of taking on a slogan like this confirms only that the Republicans responsible must have been given large shopping bags full of $100 bills from the Obama slush fund. I hope so. I can respect some old-fashioned bribery. Old fashioned stupidity is just too, too embarrassing.

If this is the best the Republican party can do, and more and more it looks like it is, I think they should forget "The change you deserve," and take up my own personal slogan for them that I minted a few months ago. It's free....

....and it has the advantage of being true.

"The change you deserve". Sounds almost like a curse, doesn't it? Kind of like "May you live in interesting times"

The only thing that gives me any hope is that their opponents are Democrats.

In my Navy days I would thirst for kamikazes, root beer schnapp shooters and Budweiser with predictable results once the night was over.

These days the GOP seems to be on the same path but without the ability to barf for an hour or two and feel better.

Trenchant comments, Vanderleun. GOP has completely lost touch with the electorate.

Woo-hoo! The future. Halp us GOP, we iz stuck heer in teh prezent!

Your transformation is complete: Now you know, in your marrow, what it means to be a conservative.

Maybe the GOP does thirst for death. The question is whose.

I don't know what depresses me more. Was this slogan test-grouped and analyzed to death? Or did 2 idiots in a conference room come up with it over bagels?

And just think about how many months of McCain we have left to endure.
