CHANGE YOU DESERVE
As if the Democrat and Republican parties weren't similar enough ... the Republicans have decided to jump on the "change" bandwagon as well. They must have done some focus group testing recently and found out the same thing that the Democrats found out long ago: people like the word "change." It's true. They get these little groups together and flash different words in front of them. The one word that has everybody's boxers in a bunch lately is the word "change." Change we can believe in!
Well the Republicans have now adopted their own change slogan. In a memo to Republican members, leadership hinted that they needed a change message because it has already shown to hit home with the unhappy public. The chosen slogan is ... change you deserve.
Ok, take a look at the slogan one more time. What is the key word in that phrase? Deserve. Now you can play around with the definition of "deserve" all you want ... but you can essentially interpret the word to mean worthy of something. Now I'm sure you know where I am going with this.
Yeah .. I want change. And its change I think I richly deserve. I deserve to be left alone by government. I'm not doing anything to deny any other person their rights ... so by what rights does the government control and manipulate my life to this extent? I deserve to keep more of what I earn. I most certainly don't deserve to be forced into indentured servitude to take care of the needs of others who are too (*)(*)(*)(*)ed lazy to take care of their own lives and families.
It t turns out that the slogan actually comes from an antidepressant drug. The Democrats have already been quick to jump on that one saying that it reflects the Republican mood at the moment. They're half-right. It actually should reflect the mood of Democrats and Republicans, because what do we really have to look forward to? Just more government .. more taxes .. and less freedom.

I'd like to claim credit for this, but I can't because I didn't write it. This one comes from the High Cleric of the Church of the Painful Truth.
