Slogan for Republican Party?
FROM CNN's Jack Cafferty:
The Republicans are "busy dying” while the Democrats are "busy being born."
That's a stark assessment coming from Peggy Noonan in a column called "Pity Party" in today's Wall Street Journal.
Noonan paints a pretty bleak picture for the Republicans come November describing them as "frozen, not like a deer in the headlights but a deer in the darkness, his ears stiff" at the approaching sound of a hunting party.
In light of the string of GOP losses in special elections this spring, Noonan points to many party leaders in Washington she says are stupid and detached. She suggests that Republicans goofed big-time by not breaking on principle with the Bush administration on issues ranging from the Iraq war to immigration to government spending.
If the GOP had pushed back against President Bush in the last few years, Noonan says they could have separated the party's fortunes from the president's. She says it would have left the party broken, but not with a ruined "brand."
Speaking of branding, House Republicans say they have no plans to alter their new campaign slogan "Change you Deserve”. You know, the same one that's used to market the anti-depressant drug Effexor.
Minority Leader John Boehner says the slogan is "working out just fine." Really? For the Democrats, maybe. They're having a field day, saying that, "Democrats, not drugs, is what with American people need."
Here’s my question to you: What slogan would you pick for the Republican Party?
Interested to know which ones made it on air?

Better luck next election.
Remember Cheney knows where you live so vote Republican or else...
Jack,
A good slogan would be, unlike a fine wine, they get worse with time.

"Give us eight more years to correct the past eight years"
The Republican slogan this year should be, "Only a miracle can help us now."
"Are you ready to RUMBLE?"
Oh goodness, this one is ripe for possibilities...
My choice would be:
A mind is a terrible thing to waste.
Their slogan should be:
" The right experience. Not the Wright experience!"
1) Borrow and spend. Why pay your bills, that is what your kids are for.
2) War today, war tomorrow, war forever
3) We got our health care, you get yours
We need to wait for our time
We endorse our candidates with no qualifications whatsover.
The Dixie Chicks Were Smarter Than We Thought!
"Unlike any other Democratic candidate, we can cream Barack Obama." Or "Bring on Barack and Four More Years of a Republican Presidency." By the way, I am a Democrat.
"Ask your doctor about voting Republican! (comes with a prescription for Effexor)"
help we've fallen and we cant get up?
"Mission Accomplished: We Convinced Democrats to Vote for the Weakest Candidate in the Primaries."
"Grand Old Grandaddies for President"
We suck!
"All aboard Double Talk Express – Full STEAM AHEAD!"
With a cute little McCain face sticking out the window and his train running into a wall of empty gun shells passing corpses after a 100 year war.
I also thought of...
"The Pandering Express!"
"The Republic you Deserve!"
"The New Republicans"
"If you can't beat'em, join'em"
"The George W. Bush HATE CLUB"
"WASN'T ME!" I think that has one of those rap songs to go along with it too. ^_^
Thanks for the memories. See ya next time?. The party is over...turn out the lights? Get lost.
"M'm M'm McCain!"
"Put an Elephant in your tank! (Tigers and Oil are endangered)"
“Ask your doctor about voting Republican! (comes with a prescription for Effexor)”

Feel free to pass along print on Tee shirts or just say it for the truth of it
Jack. I would expand on their current slogan
"Change, you deserve, sorry the RNC does not give change"
"ONWARD AND DOWNWARD " SEEMS APPROPRIATE !
George Who?
The Show Must Go On
"Look on the bright side, it can't get any worse!"
"We're as out of touch as it gets"
Well Jack, so far THESE haven't worked: "Mission Accomplished"; "Same old, same old", or "100 more years in Iraq". - Maybe it's time to go back to something like: "A chicken in every pot"; or, "Let's keep borrowing from the Soc. Sec. funds".....
We'll know when they come up with a good one..
How about something appropriate like 'Saving the American Way of Life'.
Stay the course to oblivion!

Proposed Slogans for the Republican Party...
We're not ALL greedy soulless ba$tards.
You're poor and oppressed? So?
If you have sons approaching their 18th birthday, some recruiters would like to talk with them!
If you have sons approaching their eighth birthday, some Senators would like to talk with them!
You love freedom? So?
Republicans: We take a WIDE STANCE when it comes to personal morality.
More than 4000 soldiers have died for George Bush in Iraq. Do you think after causing so much sorrow we will start telling the truth now? Think again!
Republicans: We take a WIDE STANCE when it comes to hypocrisy.
Your son died in Iraq? So?
Your daddy died in Iraq? So?
Republicans: We're completely evil with no chance of redemption so get over it.
Yeah, George Bush is a moron. So?
jack:
That's a simple question to answer, "The parties over. Turn off the lights. It's time to go home!"
So tell me what is so bleak about Democrats that are so hungry to win they are running candidates that are almost indistinguishable from moderate Republicans.
The Democratic party is being pushed to the right in their desire to win elections and I, as a Republican, call that a victory. I love the look on liberals faces when I remind them that their new blue dog democrats are finding it easier to vote with moderate Republicans than with the far left of their crowd; like those that listen to Jack Cafferty.
The Change we deserve will be coming with the removal of Republicans from our white house and congress. I am not sure what to call the Republican brand anymore. After hearing Governor Huckabees comments today and the NRA members response I am suspect of the quality of this organization all together. Joking about a gun being pointed at a person should prompt a scold from any NRA member in that they all know that if a gun is present, it is because it is prepared to be used! This coupled with a candidate making such a careless and strong comment as a joke is just beyond belief. I am concerned the Republican brand is being made in China and with some very sub-standard QC's. Maybe they should try Republicans the other WHITE MEAT!
