Where Have All The Good Slogans Gone?

Thank goodness we're not turning a corner anymore. That would come close to acknowledging that Bush has made mistakes in gonvernance. And he wouldn't want to do that.

National sales tax? That idea hasn't taken hold, either. Leading up to the convention, the GOP has trotted out any number of ideas, some we are aware of, other we aren't. The one's we can point at, like these two, have been miserable failures in the public's grand political esteem.

The DNC has appropriated a few slogans, which have been successful enough as a group. As long as they do not have to round-file too many, the small re-tooling of the message as election day nears will not have to be as drastic as the GOP, who have a new line weekly, very weakly. You will never again hear that we're turning a corner. But you will hear that hope and help are on the way, send me and we can do better on through October.

Notice that the DNC chose red, white and blue for the Kerry campaign colors (red Edwards, blue Kerry Edwards, white, with blue letters for Kerry. And flag backgrounds, lots of flags. The GOP went green for the latest round of Bush stickers. Green. Hey George, that's the color of environmentalism, dope, naivete and envy. Good choice, green George.

What's next? Pagan orange?
