Hey, at least the RepubliCONS have good slogans |
It's an election year, and the GOP is increasingly desperate to
deflect attention from the long, long, long list of Republican
screw-ups, scandals, failures and flops which will be hung round their
necks come November.
So RNC chairman Ken Mehlman has decided on a bold course of action -
he's going to wet his pants like a kindergartner.
According to the Associated Press:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060310/ap_on_go_ot/republicans
In an address to the Southern Republican Leadership Conference in
Tennessee, Ken Mehlman singled out party leaders and two potential
2008 presidential candidates - Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and John
Kerry - for criticism on a range of issues, from national security to
the economy to judicial nominees.
"Not only can they not settle on an agenda, they can't even agree on a
slogan," Mehlman said in remarks prepared for delivery.
He then offered some suggestions, albeit critical ones.
"If they really want the American people to know what they are going
to do, then how about, 'Together, Americans can pay more in taxes,'"
he said.
"Or, 'Together, we can retreat from the central front in the war on
terror.'"
Ken's remarks clearly demonstrate that the most important thing to
Republicans these days is having a good slogan.
Forget the Gulf Coast,
forget Iraq,
forget the United Arab Emirates;
forget Abu Ghraib,
Guantanamo Bay,
illegal wiretapping,
the outing of covert CIA agents;
forget health care,
outsourcing,
poverty,
Medicare,
Social Security,
education
- forget all that.
The Republican party may be flushing this country down the toilet, but
hey, at least they've got good slogans.

The Democrats' slogan:
"We don't need slogans because we're not goosestepping idiots."

Back in the fall of 1996 the Republican party ran a commercial with nothing
but an empty Speaker of the House chair and predicting it would be a
complete disaster for the country if one party controlled everything. Turns
out they were right.

Again, that is why the Democrats will lose in '08. Only the liberals think
it is a "complete disaster". The economy is good, wages are up, there has
been no terrorist attack in the US since 9/11 because we have taken the
fight to them, and while a challenge, we are bringing democracy to the
middle east, which no previous president has done.
Republicans remain optimistic, which is what people want. Democrats only
complain and critize. This is a recipe for failure.

So your saying that the American people don't care about corruption
(Cunningham, Libbey, et.al.), don't care about ridiculously high gas prices,
don't care about bin Laden being free, don't care about a failed war in Iraq
and don't care about a foreign policy that punishes Iraq for something and
lets North Korea alone even though they threaten to have a nuclear weapon.
That makes a lot of sense.
