On of my favorite GOP descriptions from Family Guy:

Chris: What do you do at a Young Republicans meeting?
Alyssa: We help those who already have the means to help themselves.

[glaze]

I DEMAND A RECOUNT!
(My entry didn't win!... but come to think of it, that would also make a great bumper sticker for GOP soreheads next January...)

GOP: The Change You Deserve...Our Definition of Change, Which Is NO Change At All, And THAT Is the Change You REALLY Deserve.

How about: "IF YOU THINK BUSH WAS OUT OF TOUCH, VOTE FOR MCCAIN!"

[Pacific231]

This slogan is already taken by most plumbers on the back of their vans, but it's even more on target for the GOP:

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY: WE'RE #1 IN THE NUMBER TWO BUSINESS.

[Rubyfoo]

How about: There's never a Bin Laden around when you really need one.

[ramal]

"Incompetents' try harder."

[ronito6]

Those are all really good.

Thanks Hufpo and congratulations RealityBaseCamp

[nyboomer]

I find it gratifying that none of those are inappropriate. Had it been the GOP looking for slogan for Dems, some of them would have been outlandish, outrageous and outright lies.

[Krootie]

Interesting, but all too mild in my opinion. Gotta fight dirty like them. Here's my favorite signature line on my Emails:

"Be the first one on your block to have your boy come home in a box for President McCain."

[indypete]

Woooo!

[CindyKay]

Sad BUT True !

People Pay Attention & Vote Dem 08!

[RealityBaseCamp]

I though that looked familiar! Thanks! They were all great - good work everybody!

[lisakaz2]

Congrats. I wanted something R rated. Oh well.

[queotic]

Congrats!

[barrycourage]

Typical GOP tactic.

Do everything conceivable to depress the nation for centuries to come.

Then rip off the slogan for an anti-depressant.

Congrats to the Top 20. Great job!

[gala1]

Of course, we'll all need an antidepressant when the GOB brings on another depression.

[GeoNorth]

When Republicans talk, all I hear them say is, "Fuck You, America...and we mean it."

[boomer1949]

No, it should be:

When Republicans talk, all I hear them say is, "Fuck You, America...I'm George W. Bush and I approve this message."

[PuffAndStuff]

So many of the suggestions are great ... And, oh so fitting!

I'm particularly fond of these two:

GOP: Give Me A Lapel Pin Or Give Me Death
GOP: Thanks For Your $ - Sorry About Your Kids
