Does the GOP want you on drugs?
One might think that from their choice of a new slogan for the 2008 presidential race. It's bad enough that they borrow Barack's message of "change", but as it turns out, the phrase they selected, "The change you deserve", is already the registered advertising slogan of Effexor XR, a drug approved for the treatment "of depression, generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, and panic disorder in adults." Somehow that seems about right - haven't we all been suffering from those symptons over the last, I dunno. . .eight years or so?Labels: campaign slogans, GOP, pharmaceutical industry

Well, they are the party of old impotent white dudes, so it makes sense, in a twisted sort of way....
:)
I'd like some change - but Effexor or Obama Kool-aid (tm)? That's a hard choice. ;-)
I'm thinking they're going to sell the pills to raise campaign funds. Throw it in with all the payola from the drug companies and they'll get a tidy little sum, I'm sure.
kvatch,
Any person trying to use the "kool-aid" argument about Obama has seen neither the Hillary camp as of late, nor the Cult of Ron Paul.
So shut up.
And if you were kidding, that shit ain't funny.
So shut up.
