House Republicans are Going to Make You Feel Real Even

POSTED BY: CubbyChaser

Hang onto your hats, everyone! House Republicans have a new slogan. No, not, "More shrimp, Jose!" Most of them filled up on crab cakes at the campaign kickoff cocktail hour, after all.

Let's let them break it:

"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."

Hm. "Change You Deserve." Where have I heard that before?

No, not from the terrorists. Somewhere else...

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, also known as Venlafaxine, is approved for the treatment "of depression, generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, and panic disorder in adults."

You know, call me crazy, but I think there might be something funny in the GOP lifting their campaign slogan from a popular antidepressant, but I just can't quite tease it out. I'm gonna go think about it for a few days. In the meantime, please enjoy this watercolor I painted today:

  2. How about, "Change I can live without."

    Someone needs to explain to Homeland Security the order of the rainbow. And where the fuck is the Purple? I need a "Code: Purple!"

  3. Republicans "Change you Deserve" probably refers to the pennies & nickels we often find in the cushions of our couches. Their actual slogan is "Status Quo is Awesome & if u don't Agree with Us...go Fruck Yourself or We'll Do It for U"!!!

  5. The Republicans sold their Slogan in exchange for drug company money. The Republicans need the money since a Republican chairperson did to the party what they've been doing to the country for the past 7 years.
