GOP contest: The slogan change you deserve

By Michelle Malkin  •  May 15, 2008 03:19 PM

I’ve been ragging on the Beltway Republicans for their lemming-like sloganeering and “Change You Deserve” crapola all week.

They deserve all the mockery that comes their way. They deserve it every day from now until the election until they get a clue.

Now, in the spirit of constructive change, I’m giving you the chance to offer up your slogan ideas to the GOP. Straight or snarky: It’s your choice.

Reader Kristen, who blogs at Mommy Needs a Cocktail, gets the first entry with her new t-shirts for sale here:

    # 84: nice link.

    “This operation against illegal immigrants is good because , it’s what people want. They ask us for security and we have to give it to them,” Bossi told reporters in parliament.

    Apparently the Italians get it. Wouldn’t you love to see our government saying the above?

    We’ve gotten the GOP we deserve. Weak-spined, mealy-mouthed spendaholic calling themselves conservative. The only thing conservative about them, a trait shared by all the feckless suits in Congress, is their attire and hair styles. Everything else: entitlements, attitudes and self-aggrandizing pomposity reeks of liberalism!

    If everyone would get off their “party” soapboxes for a moment you might take note that the only candidate citing a constitutionally-based platform is Ron Paul. But, of course, everyone is too inclined to reflux and name calling to consider what “conservatism” really means. Not just in definition but in convictions and actions.

    Check out Wirs GopOnDemand – seriously, this is what it says:

    “But if you want the power you have to donate. A $25 contribution is all that is asked. And if you make it a monthly $25 contribution, you get to participate in live, interactive webcasts with national, state and local public officeholders and Republican officials, personally answering your questions and concerns. So tell us what you want and give us $25 so we can deliver the future of the Republican Party to you.”

    So to get OUR supposed party to actually listen to us, we have to PAY THEM…

    “An Echo, not a Choice”

    I remember selling “None Dare Call it Treason” door to door, as a kid, just a few years after immigrating here… and that slogan, part of Goldwater’s campaign, “A choice, not an echo” stuck with me ever since.

    That its now appropriately flipped around is pretty danged sad, but true.

    It perfectly describes the new GOP slogan, which is clearly an echo of Obama’s campaign.

    Slogan: “THE GOP, A HOME FOR ALL TRUE MODERATES”

    Every year I watch as the Republican Party moves farther left. The Republicans are going to get smoked in November and they deserve it. The last best hope was Newt, he caved in 98, and now he sits on a couch with Nancy talking about global warming, what, hold on, I‘ll be right back, must go slam my head into the wall. I’m watching my country go down in flames, no not flames; it’s more like placing a frog in a pot of cold water and turning up the heat. We are the frogs and were nice and cozy; it’s just like a Jacuzzi. Pass me a glass of the champagne please; at least I’ll be hammered when it all comes down. Now that everyone thinks I’m insane let me make a suggestion:

    The GOP will not be coming back to conservatism. Yes, it’s been said a million times before but it’s time for a third party.

    The Democrat party is the liberal party
    The Republican Party is the moderate party
    The Conservative Party will be the………..wait for it……… conservative party

    Malkin is appointed for life to head the Conservative Party. You will monitor the voting record of all politicians belonging to this party and instantly boot out anyone that votes left of right.

    Ok, I’m waiting, I’ll register as soon as the party is formed, what’s the hold-up?
