"D" is for Dope
Artorius Castus ^ | 18 September 2010 | Patrick Truax

Posted on 09/18/2010 1:22:21 PM PDT by cardinal4

Sometime back in the eighties, 1984 I think it was, some genius at the Coca-Cola company thought it would be a good idea to re-brand the number one selling soft drink. Calling it “New Coke”, the disastrous marketing ploy lasted a hair longer than Cher’s marriage to Greg Allman.

I think the cute litte “D” logo was a polite way for the ‘RATS to throw the Obama bloody rainbow logo under the bus. The white boys at the DNC are finished with it.

As these two look alike

The new Circle D logo looks a lot like this one

Are the Dems and PepsiCo using the same marketing outfit?

It was a cover to allow them to switch over to using tax subsidized hfcs instead of natural grass juice(cane sugar).

They're not stupid , just sneaky and dastardly (Coke tastes better with sugar).

Portray the new logo as a rubber stamp

Vignettes:

I went to replace my $40,000 SUV and I got this little Chevy Volt.
You've been rubber stamp (D) DOWNSIZED.

I went to replace my old 60 watt light bulbs and all the store had were these little compact florescents.
You've been rubber stamp (D) DOWNSIZED.

I needed a new wash machine and all the high capacity top load washers were gone. I got this little front-load thing.
You've been rubber stamp (D) DOWNSIZED.

I got foreclosed on my big house with the 3-car garage. Now I'm living in an apartment in a walkable community with one outdoor parking space.
You've been rubber stamp (D) DOWNSIZED.

My boss told me today that I'm a good worker, but he had to let me go.
You've been rubber stamp (D) DOWNSIZED.

On the contrary, I think their new logo moves in Obama's direction, with its zero shape, bland shade of blue, and empty change mantra.

The mystery is why they did not move in the opposite direction, as many Donk candidates are this cycle. At least their old logo had some fun to it (admittedly at the Donks' expense):

“Coke tastes better with sugar”

Sure does. Luckily, the corner store near me keeps 6-packs of Mexican Coke in stock. In glass bottles :D

Yep, it was one of the rottenest lies ever slithered past the public.

Mexican coke is still made with cane sugar. Go to a Mexican grocery store and you'll find it stacked up. Can't have disappointed illegals, you know - or weaken them with crap so they can't work. That's why non-white groceries have the most un-tampered food, and hospitals zip them to the front of the line. Future Democrat voters must be made addicted to preferential coddling, or they'll go back to thinking for themselves.

They can do the same thing with the "D" logo - and have spin off 'flavors' for different activities and needs
Just like PepsiCo's Gatorade does

De
Moc
Rats

So
Cia
List

Pro
Gres

I bring back a couple o cases from Mexico whenever I’m there. They may have a lousy government, but they don’t use nasty corn syrup.

Remember in Saudi Arabia one could only get Pepsi and not Coke? I quit drinking Pepsi then, and when Pepsi signed Michael Jackson as a spokes”man,” was the last straw. And now that the the Imam Osama campaign has adapted their symbol to Pepsi’s, that’s it. No more “Bebsi” till the end of my cruise.
