Has anyone seen the new political greeting cards for both Democrats and Republicans?

They're pretty wild. A lot of birthday cards. Some will have a picture of Sen. Clinton on the front with a dig at her inside, some have Bush/Cheney poses with digs at them. Like for instance, I bought a birthday card for a friend who just detests Bush. On the front, it had poses of him and a chimp next to each other with the exact same looks on their faces - about ten different pictures. Inside it says: "Evolution or Intelligent Design? You Decide."





I've been around a long time, but I don't ever remember seeing greeting cards in a Walgreen's that were so politically pointed and aimed at making fun of the other side. What do you think about this?

The next time I am in Walgreen's I am going to look for these.


I guess I kinda have mixed feelings about this, on the one hand I think it is completely funny on the other I'm not so sure we should quick to ridicule our government leaders.


The current President however is an exception. LOL





You have to also wonder if some marketing strategists haven't picked up on how divided the country is along party lines and taking advantage of a clear opportunity.
Reply:It's quite frankly disrespectful! There are other ways to protest a government that you feel is inadequate besides ridicule!
Reply:Ridicule is one of the best forms of protest as it takes the pomposity out of the opposition.Hard to take someone seriously when you just had a good laugh at them....
Reply:I think PJ Orouke's quote should be made into a card.


"Democrats say everything in America is wrong but they fix nothing. Republicans say nothing is wrong in America so they fix that".
