I wish I could say I came up with the line, but it's actually from a tweet (here) from Resist Tyranny.
Love the R&R....
Repeal, Restore!!
I also love “America’s Come Back Team!~
Good one Jared.
Why not both:
ROMNEY-RYAN
“Repeal, restore”
Super Bump!
That truly was one of my first thoughts when I realized they both started with R.
Bedecked in his usual comfort wear(gym shorts and Birkenstocks),Ears is smoking four cigs out of each side of his mouth, has white stuff under his nose and is throwing his ever present basketball at the FNC tuned TV.
He is also throwing F bombs(which insiders say is commonplace).
Moochie’s throwing plates at him as we speak.
Biden’s suitcase is being packed(he’s going to develop some pressing family matters or prostate cancer) and Val and the gang have Hildebeast on a charter back here to the states.
Der Sleek is rubbing his hands together and burning his “little black book’.
Bruce Jenner’s plastic surgeon is on his way to DC for a consult and surgery scheduling with Cankles.
Carville’s serpent’s head has just exploded.
Bill Burton’s buck teeth have shot out of the front of his mouth.
Holder’s in his office, busily shredding.
Plugs is confused and asking “what’s going on?”
What else?
(In the tone of “Are you ready for some FOOTBALL)....
“R” you ready for some JOB GROWTH
“R” you ready for....(fill in the blank)
WE “R”
I can see this with a line of 5 or so fill in the blanks and of course with HANK at the Convention to punctuate it. Especially in the light of his being fired and becoming more successful after the firing.
Somebody needs to ‘shop a Hadoken into that.
All good ideas. :)
The first thing that came to my mind was a slogan the ratz will use.
Don’t be buyin’
Romney-Ryan
Reload, Reclaim (America).
And plenty moree no doubt down the line. Good slogans, uplifting slogans. I love them and hope we see TONS more. :)
My husband likes “Truth or Consequences” for a slogan.
Love it!
Catch-phrase/thread BUMP!
Jay Carney is calling a press conference to explain how Americans are not in favor of an actual budget, love the skyrocketing national debit, are enjoying "wide array of new jobs," lining up to patriotically pay $4.00 a gal for gas therefore the R&R team is against the American "recovery."
