- The "the change you deserve" is the registered advertising slogan of Effexor. Effexor, is for the treatment "of depression, generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, and panic disorder in adults." Its common side effects are very much in keeping with the world the House Republicans have striven to build: nausea, apathy, constipation, fatigue, vertigo, sexual dysfunction, sweating, memory loss, and - and I swear I am not making this up - "electric shock-like sensations also called ''brain zaps.''"

- antonio - I agree with you entirely. I was a Republican when they were about small government, low spending, and respect for the Constitution.
When it turned into Bible-thumping and endless war, I jumped. Now, I''ll probably vote Libertarian this fall. - Reply to this comment

- I will cut neither party any slack! In the 90''s I was appalled at the democrats arrogance and dishonesty. In the 2000''s I am appalled at the Republicans abuse of power. I don''t know if a third party is the answer but I''ll tell you this; at the first sign of democrats sliding backwards after the repubs coming defeat in November I will be screaming for their heads on a platter, same as repubs. We sorely need to get back to politicians who work for America, not some ethereal ideaology. If this doesn''t happen soon after the next peaceful election it is time for America''s second revolution!!!

What the GOP doesn''t seem to realize, because they are idiots, is that "the change you deserve" is the registered advertising slogan of Effexor XR. Effexor, is approved for the treatment "of depression, generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, and panic disorder in adults."

- Why a blind man could have read the signals of discontent a mile away. Why didn''''t they?

It''s because they don''t live in the real world like the rest of us. They live a cocoon surrounded by big money, great benefits, excellent healthcare coverage, and no real accountability to anyone until election time when they lie through their teeth and their ignorant supporters usually believe them. But when their supporters start to feel the economic pain, they vote for change. I am so happy to see the Republicon party sweating out this election. The crowning glory would be to see the Democrats take over both the House and Senate and the Presidency. That would show the world that America learned from it''s mistakes and that our voters weren''t so dumb after all. - Reply to this comment

GOP caught plagiarizing from Drug company
In today''s New York Times'' Caucus blog, Carl Hulse reports that House Republicans have got themselves a brand-new slogan:

What the GOP doesn''t seem to realize, because they are idiots, is that "the change you deserve" is the registered advertising slogan of Effexor XR, a drug that many of you might have started taking as a result of all the...you know -- terrorism. (Hat tip to Bluestem for catching this gem.)
Effexor, is approved for the treatment "of depression, generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, and panic disorder in adults." Its common side effects are very much in keeping with the world the House Republicans have striven to build: nausea, apathy, constipation, fatigue, vertigo, sexual dysfunction, sweating, memory loss, and - and I swear I am not making this up - "electric shock-like sensations also called ''brain zaps.''"
And when the Food And Drug Administration reviewed the ad copy that included the tagline, "The change you deserve," it took issue with Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, which manufactures Effexor, saying that the company made "unsubstantiated superiority claims." Sounds like the GOP have picked an ironically accurate tagline for their efforts! - Reply to this comment

- When a traditional republican voter looks at what their party has done to this country with its fiscal irresponsibility, not to mention moral irresponsibility, and they only rep candidate promises more of the same irresponsibility, it is no mystery to me why the number of republican voters shrinks every month.

True but now the Democrats are the fiscal party and responsible. They listened look at Bill Clinton and see his record then you will know why they could not change. They lied with a good line now they want to be forgiven and it is too late.
The storm is already over the area and it is moving fast towards them. The blood bath is here and they are out of touch and don''t beleive it. Too little too late. - Reply to this comment
- I love that after destroying so many things in this country, they think the problem is their slogan, their branding - nope - it''s your actions, stupid!

- Funniest thing I''ve seen in a long time - yes indeed, the problem with the Repubicans is that they haven''t reformed the Census beuru! How out of touch can you get! Although, I can just imagine if they reform it like they reformed the disaster response people - we''d have Katrina in every state as people run screaming from census workers carrying pens with toxic gasses.

- I was once a Republican a libertarian but the call came out that the Republicans were no longer interested in fiscal responisibility but in being the moral police. So I went to the Democrats the funny thing is my father did the same. He always said don''t give them too much power he lived in the days of MaCarthy.
I have been saying that there would be a blood bath for the Republicans this November and most neo cons still don''t get it well this should send the message home. Now watch how fast the neo cons turn on Bush and MaCain to save their hides. However, it is too late they had over a year to change and veto the village idiot and McSame is just another neo con. - Reply to this comment

Clestes:
Your excellent post. Right on target. With a sledge hammer.
The repugnicans had total control of the governemnt and they let it go to their heads. They smeared and threatened anyone who objected to them enthoning little Georgie. They lockstepped through the halls of our Congress and bleated their fealty to Darth and George''s neocon oil fantasy. They betrayed our Constitution in myriad ways and continulally lied, made apologies for, covered up and sidestepped any questions about the massive abuse of power of this criminal administration. They gave birth to this abomination and now they want to wring their hands and get all teary eyed when it''s time to pay for their damage.
Good riddance to them all! Ride them out of town on a rail. Don''t forget the tar and feathers! - Reply to this comment

- "GOP leaders sought yesterday to "re-brand" the party with a new slogan and renewed pledges of fiscal rectitude and limited government. But the slogan -- "We''re really not the a$$holes you thought we were" -- came under mocking fire."
