D'oh!

"sexual side effects?"

'voting republican can make you impotent' seems like a fun slogan...

lol

I laugh, but I often wonder if anti-depressants are creating their own demographic.  More people are taking them, for the right reason, but I wonder if they can be targeted by using the correct language.  This could be a little more underhanded than my first impression.

I take Effexor for a completely unrelated condition (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis), and the first thing that happened when I started taking it was a solid week of intense nightmares.

So that's another similarity to the Republican agenda, right there.

What's hilarious is that they should even try to match wits with Team Obama on slogans.

Obama's people are freaking professionals at getting short, catchy phrases that linger in the public consciousness.

They should learn from Clinton.  "Yes She Can" and later "Yes She Will" made her seem self-centered and eventually divorced from reality.  She would have been better off sticking to her own ideas instead of riffing off of Obama's slogan, which was re-tooled from the "Si, se puede" slogan of Caesar Chavez's immagrant labor movement.

Note to Republicans: your strength these days lies in slander and fearmongering.  Don't try to match us on inspiration.

slogan they deserve the havok of a republican administration.

Am I the only one who feels like this is almost hostile?  "You want change?  Here.  This is the change you deserve, you ingrates."  

And also, after the focus groups, the research, and the debates over this phrase...nobody googled it?

Insanity is voting gop and expecting a different outcome.

The gop should go the way of the whig party.

omg, that is just too funny.

They really should stay away from slogans like "American Families Agenda" too, with some of their party's strongest family values proponents doing things like cavorting in diapers with hookers, or adopting too wide a stance in men's rest rooms, etc.

Good god, it sounds like the night before a hunting trip with Cheney...

Yep. When the opposition uses your theme against themselves, what more can you ask?

The Repubs. really are in disarray and it's sad considering they've had a few months to pull it together behind McCain, but they seem to be even more disheveled now than they did before.

BTW, who are they kidding with, "Change You Deserve?"  How they even manage to say that with a straight face is a disgrace.

This is just so perfect because it communicates that the Republicans have decided what you deserve, and intend to give it to you. It has a decidedly paternalistic tone.

Note that it is not necessarily the change you want. In fact, it could be said with contempt, as in "You SOBs, you're so stupid that you deserve a Fascist State, and we're going to give it to you!"

Blergh. I think I need a stomach pump.

I have this funny feeling that the "American Families Agenda" is not going to be breaking new ground...
