Found! Super-secret 2006 GOP Message Memo!
Edited on Wed Mar-15-06 04:57 PM by Skinner


MEMORANDUM
To:    Ken Mehlman, RNC Chairman
From: Marlon Daniels, Republican Message Committee
Re: 2006 Slogans
Date: March 15, 2006

Your 3/10 attack against the Democrats from the Southern Republican Leadership Conference has been very well received. As expected, the media gave broad play to your key sound bite, "Not only can they not settle on an agenda, they can't even agree on a slogan," and repeated the examples we provided to support the charge. By the way, you were right: No one bothered to point out that we also lack a slogan for 2006.

Per your request, here are the slogans currently under consideration by the message committee, by topic.

ABORTION

Just think of how safe the country will be when all the rapists move to South Dakota.

DOMESTIC SPYING

You weren't using the Bill of Rights anyway.

Vote for us, and we promise not to tap your phone.

ECONOMY/JOBS

You know that warm fuzzy feeling you get when you donate canned goods to hungry people? It's kinda like that, except instead of "canned goods" think "your job," and instead of "hungry people" think "Chinese people in sweatshops."

You always dreamed of an early retirement. And now you've got it.

Sick of your kids borrowing money from you? Vote Republican, and let us borrow from your kids.

MORAL VALUES

At least gay people can't get married. That's gotta be worth something.

Want some church with your state?

Voting Democrat makes the baby Jesus cry.

NATIONAL SECURITY

Like the Iraq War? You'll love the Iran War!

Who needs port security when you've got God on your side?

GOVERNMENT REFORM

Don't like what's happening to our country? Remember that the Democrats control all the branches of government except three.

We've still got a whole bunch of elected officials who aren't indicted.

We will not rest until Natalee Holloway is found.

23. Hold the hostages, we have an election.
I read your post to the tune of MICKEY MOUSE. Don't the Republicans have a theme song yet?

Beautiful. How far we've come in just a few years. And we didn't think it was possible.

Maybe if they get enough money, they can pay for a reverse search and get Bin Laden's phone number.

Now if we can just bring Shiavo back to life.

Re: 2006 Slogans

Thank you for helping catapult the propaganda! Remember, even one Democrat in Congress is like one anchovy on a pizza - it's to blame for ruining the whole thing. Until the Congress is pure and no longer contaminated by the nattering nabobs of negativism, our constant vigilance must be unhesitatingly united. Sieg Heil!

35. I Just Totally Friggin Craughed When I Read That!
Ya know, cried and laughed at the same time, cause it's so fucking funny yet so painfully sad all at the same moment. :) :(

Definitely great satire though! (though other then things being spelled correctly it probably isn't that far off from what they do pass back and forth to each other LOL)
