Oh, dear Lord. The hapless Republican establishment has gone and made a public embarrassment of itself again. Can your hearts take much more of this?
Mine can’t:
Hoping to get things moving in a positive direction, House Republicans will on Wednesday begin rolling out their own policy agenda, trying to showcase their differences with Democrats on issues such as health care, the economy, energy and national security.
In a memo to be sent to Republican members today, the leadership hints at a new slogan building on the change message that has already been shown to have political resonance with a public unhappy with the nation’s direction.
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.” The first element of the party agenda developed over the past few months by the leadership and select party members will focus on family issues.
“Through our “Change You Deserve” message and through our “American Families Agenda,” House Republicans will continue our efforts to speak directly to an American public looking for leaders who will offer real solutions for the challenges they confront every day,” said the memo prepared for lawmakers.e of this?
Conservatives have spent the entire campaign season eviscerating Democrat candidates who’ve tattooed themselves with the empty “change” slogan. So what do the brain-dead strategists and p.r. market wizards of the GOP go and do?
Wrap themselves in “change.”
What about self-preservation? What about sovereignty? What about consistent adherence to constitutional principles?
Nope. We get more insipid “change.”
The crack research staff at GOP HQ somehow missed that “Change You Deserve” is the marketing slogan for Effexor, an anti-depressant.
Brilliant.
The GOP lemmings deserve everything they’re going to get in November.
We are really in trouble.
It’s the change they deserve. LOL
Yeah it is DUMB. Focus is still on “Change”. Its the same stupid thing that Hillary’s Indiana supporters were yelling.....”Yes we will”. They fail to understand that by doint that they are still highlighting Obama’s slogans.
This is what you get when your policies derive from focus groups rather than principles.
Change!
Change!
Change!
All that you’ll have left in your pockets after washington gets through with you is...
Loose CHANGE!!!
Actually, adherence to constitutional/conservative principles would be a HUGE change for the GOP. Alas, that's not the sort of change they're referring to.
Change You Deserve
GMTA.
I see the GOP is listening to Newt Gingrich again...
"Surrender your principles; surrender your power." True, true.
Good. This is what you get when RINO’s are in charge.
An anti-GOP rant from Malkin. what a suprise. Has she endorsed Barr yet?
Differences! There are Differences! Pinch me! Am I dreaming? Somebody alert the media!
Believe it or not, “change” was a major theme during the 1992 Bill Clinton campaign. People forget that. Libs pull it out again every few years. It’s empty, meaningless, and vapid, just like most liberalism. Mondale was even using it back in 1984. Reagan countered with, “We are the change.”
Nobody remembers anything anymore, and our press works overtime to keep it that way.
Newt lost me when he jumped on the “global warming” bandwagon.
