I'd like to see a contest with the Young College Republicans....
To see which college or university could get the most volunteers to join the military? Maybe we could get a grant or scholarships as a reward to their college if they were the winners? Just think, they could help their college and, at the same time, alleviate those recruitment pressures that the military has been experiencing? Not only could they do the talk, but they would have an opportunity to walk the walk...

1. But they ARE fighting
They're in a valiant struggle against people against the president.
It's hard work!

3. We really should call those nerds on their bluff
all these privileged upper-middle class young Republican turds.
IF YOU SUPPORT THE WAR SO DAMN MUCH, WHY AREN'T YOU OVER THERE FIGHTING RIGHT NOW?

hey, did I just come up with a new bumper sticker?

4. I just asked pretty much the same thing to some wingnut...
I ran across earlier today. He was driving a jalopy pick-up truck emblazoned with flags, ribbons, and "These Colors Don't Run," "Gun Control Means Using Both Hands," and "Freedom Ain't Free" stickers. I snapped. He looked at me like I was nuts (but at least he didn't shoot me...).

I wonder if I could fit "Fighting for Our Freedoms? Fighting for Halliburton's 284% 2Q Profits Is More Like It" on sticker. Maybe that would get through to the yellow ribbon crowd. Or not.

5. Here's an idea - set up a footrace between the Young College
Repukes vs Dems

Let the Repukes win.

Prize for winning is a whole bunch of recruitment forms at a table manned by a Marine recruiter - who saw the whole race . . .
