Tea Party Tour Tagline Needs Work
I’m all in favor of Tea Parties (the Taxed Enough Already kind, not the froo-froo, blue-haired, extended-pinky kind), but the folks at Tea Party Express have me scratching my head on their efforts to raise money to support their national bus tour:
“The national tea party tour will be supported by paid television ads that include the tagline: “Ask yourself this, would you be willing to put your own family into the hands of Barack Obama’s socialistic health care plan? [emphasis mine]“
Worst. Tagline. Ever.
A tagline is supposed to be pithy, clever, and/or memorable. Let’s see if we can shine this up a little:
* ObamaCare: Let’s test it out on Congress first.
* So bad, even Canadians would vote against it – if they were American and smarter.
* Like treating a paper cut with lemon juice.
* If you’re kidding, I’m not laughing. If you’re serious, I’m getting my gun.
* Like the Special Olympics or something.
* Even Sarah Palin would support putting this plan in front of a Death Panel.
* Ask yourself this, would you be willing to put your own family into the hands of the people who did Pelosi’s face lift?
* It’ll be just like the Post Office, except “going postal” will be known as “going doctoral”.
* The government will protect your health just like they protected GM & Chrysler.
* Tar. Feathers. Democrats. Some assembly required.
If you’ve got a tagline, drop it in the comments.

Obamacare is not safe for seniors and other living things.
August 20th, 2009 at 8:25 pm
Winner. lol
August 20th, 2009 at 8:31 pm
Wouldn’t you rather ration Obama’s deficit spending instead of him rationing your health care?
August 20th, 2009 at 8:32 pm
What the F@%$!!!
August 20th, 2009 at 8:35 pm
Obama lied, sick people died.
Damnit, I want to win something even if it’s just the most annoying commenter medal.
August 20th, 2009 at 8:36 pm
Help us reach our goal of depopulating Florida!
August 20th, 2009 at 8:36 pm
I see dead people … under Obamacare.
August 20th, 2009 at 8:44 pm
If you like Obamacare move to Cuba!
August 20th, 2009 at 8:47 pm
If you thought the IRS was bad just wait till Obamacare gets a grip on your nads.
August 20th, 2009 at 8:48 pm
Obama-Don’t-Care.
August 20th, 2009 at 8:52 pm
Do you want to turn your health care decisions over to a government bureaucracy with the compassion of the IRS and the competence of Katrina disaster relief?
August 20th, 2009 at 9:01 pm
I’ll quit now.
Oh heck, just one more.
Obamacare will keep you sick and leave you hurting but don’t our President talk purty about it?
Racists.
August 20th, 2009 at 9:08 pm
“Because you can’t spell HEALTH without TEA” …….I have no idea what that means.
August 20th, 2009 at 9:10 pm
* Under ObamaCare, Doctors won’t treat you, but instead look at you, grin sheepishly, and say, “Sorry, mate, it’s all FUBAR.”
* Your dog will still have better health care. Incidentally, the only way you’ll be able to get surgery is if you have your dog perform it.
August 20th, 2009 at 9:11 pm
* Do you really want to live under a system that will replace all treatments with Obama-brand Kool-Aid?
August 20th, 2009 at 9:31 pm
ObamaCare – Instead of getting treated, the run around.
August 20th, 2009 at 9:51 pm
As someone working on the Tea Party Express tour I thank you for the post and discussion. We always welcome constructive criticism and suggestions. Keem ‘em coming, friends!

One if by land, Two if by sea, and Three if by legislation.

Imagine if the people at the post office or DMV had access to filled with sharp pointy needles and chemicals that could kill you.
August 20th, 2009 at 10:11 pm
Let FEMA set your femur!
They’re from the government and they’re here to help us.
August 20th, 2009 at 10:14 pm
Old lady: “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!”
Death Panel: “Shut it, grandma.”
August 20th, 2009 at 10:22 pm
Funny site. I did a brief review for you.
August 20th, 2009 at 10:26 pm
Meant to say:
* If you’re kidding, I’m not laughing. If you’re serious, I’m getting my gun.
That’s darn funny.
I’m stealing it.
Sorry.

Voice over with Teddy Kennedy pic: Our insurance paid the best doctors lots of money to keep this fat bastard alive long enough to ruin your health care. Wait. OMG what have we done?
We’re Democrats and we put the hell in health care.
August 20th, 2009 at 11:52 pm

August 21st, 2009 at 12:00 am
* Ask yourself this, would you be willing to put your own family into the hands of Barack Obama, a man so dumb he married a woman who looks like Chewbacca after Han Solo shaved all the body hair off him?
August 21st, 2009 at 12:16 am
Obamacare. If back alley prostate exams sound good to you.
Obamacare. If you want to die, but believe it is a sin to kill yourself.
August 21st, 2009 at 12:29 am
Crusty – As someone who has many fond memories of Life Days spent on the Wookie homeworld, I find your statement offensive.
Everyone knows Michelle looks like Aunt Esther.

tagline: When Congress spends trillion dollar deficits and then wants to give away free insurance; they no longer represent taxpayers.
August 21st, 2009 at 2:00 am
I’m partial to what’s apparently Obama’s slogan for it: “The one that’s always havin’ problems.”
August 21st, 2009 at 2:01 am
(Wait, is it racist to point out that Obama sometimes drops Gs from -ing words? If so, I apologize.)
August 21st, 2009 at 5:15 am
O-bah-muhhCare: try testing it on animals first.Congresscritters make excellent test subjects.

August 21st, 2009 at 8:23 am
Peren – not racist, just rude. He only drops his g’s when he’s using his “midwestern just-plain-folks accent” to manipulate people, and it’s impolite to point out that Barry is a con-man.
August 21st, 2009 at 9:26 am
Obamacare – When staying alive isn’t one of your higher priorities.
August 21st, 2009 at 9:32 am
Obamacare: you care and he don’t
August 21st, 2009 at 9:34 am
Obamacare: ridding america of the pesky old folks one grandma at a time.
August 21st, 2009 at 10:40 am
Tar. Feathers. Politicians. Some assembly required.
Fixed it for ya!
August 21st, 2009 at 10:42 am
classless disgrace care: Old people, can’t live with ‘em, can’t kill ‘em. … Wait.
August 21st, 2009 at 10:47 am
Dohtimes – We’re Democrats and we put the hell in health care.
That is brilliant!!!!!
Dem’s – putting the K in Quality….Kwality, that’s Kenyan style!
August 21st, 2009 at 11:05 am
You had me at * ObamaCare: Let’s test it out on Congress first.
August 21st, 2009 at 11:05 am
* Socialized medicine: when you don’t care enough to get the very best.
* Obamacare: cause Barney Frank wants the chance to play doctor.
August 21st, 2009 at 12:07 pm
“In other news, visits to neighborhood veterinary clinics, are up, dramatically!”
August 21st, 2009 at 3:15 pm
Alright, they’re mostly awesome but the barney frank one made me almost choke on my jolly rancher
August 21st, 2009 at 5:01 pm
