Suggest some signs for Crawford tomorrow.
I'm going up with my wife and young (3-10 range) children tomorrow. I've got posterboard and writer's block.

My take on Iraq, and thus my poster, says "DIG THE HOLE DEEPER IS NOT A STRATEGY" on one side, and "Fess up, George, you have no plan" on the other.

How about more, including half-sized ones with just a few words for the kids?

21. his own words condemn him-
hard to pick the key ones - but the bold ones would be what i would choose from-

"..Know the importance of family and the need for personal responsibility. These are principles from which I will not vary."
Source: Candidacy Announcement speech, Cedar Rapids, Iowa Jun 12, 1999

"I have faith that with God’s help we as a nation will move forward together as one nation, indivisible."

"Whether you voted for me or not, I will do my best to serve your interests and I will work to earn your respect."

"I will be guided by President Jefferson’s sense of purpose, to stand for principle, to be reasonable in manner, and above all, to do great good for the cause of freedom and harmony."

26. I'm thinking something like "what hill is victory just over this week?"
I think the most effective argument against the Pottery Barn Rule (you broke it/you bought it) is that we're exactly where we were in fall 03, and exactly where we'll be in fall 07.

How do I put it on a posterboard?

Thank you for your efforts. Make sure the kids have plenty of water (or Gatorade) to drink in that heat.

42. We care that you don't care. Please get a mind to change.
Edited on Fri Aug-12-05 11:49 PM by firefox
You mean you don't care about lies?
You mean you don't care about blunder?
You mean you don't care about death?


What do you care about?

At three words a chant, how hard would it be to get some variety?

We care. The war was illegal.

Please don't chant "We don't care." My neck hurts.

If you don't care, what are you doing here?

So you don't care. Do you want a medal?

Not caring does not justify war. It is even a bad excuse.

Is not caring your idea of an American virtue?

A question for non-caring fools. Do you know how to keep a fool in suspense?

And you are proud that you don't care?

46. Well, off to bed...
I'll probably be able to do 1-2 more posters on the way up to Crawford. Thanks for all your suggestions.

I'm trying to look forward. I think we've got the country around to the idea that starting the war for the reasons given was fubar. Bush's defense seems to be "well, that doesn't matter any more, this is where the war on terra is". My small statement of the month, probably of the year, is that we're not actually doing anything in Iraq right now, and probably haven't done anything substantial since about May of 2003. That's what people still don't get. If they get it, and if they get that the plan is more of the same, they'll demand a change in the course, even if the only alternative is to withdraw completely. With that in mind, here's what I have...

'DIG THE HOLE DEEPER' IS NOT A STRATEGY
Fess up, George, you have no plan.
qWagmire (black with red W)
George, cut the bull. You have no clue how to win that war.
My daughter gets a peace sign.
My son gets a "Will we be there when I'm 18?" sign.
