Drive around with one of these bumper stickers on your car? (make them yourself, don't pay these righto wackos a dime for them)

These would incense many Democratics, firing them up and getting them into action against the Bush political machine. If you were to sport one of these bumper stickers for the entire next year, think how much damage you would do to the GOP!

Some samples...

7. Then show us the WMD!!!
Just because Clinton was stupid enough to believe Wolfowitz & Co. doesn't excuse Bush from actually taking these neocons whackos advice to the extreme. When will the Bush administration take responsibility for it's actions and quit hiding behind Clinton's coat tails?

8. No, I don't think all that
would fit on a bumper sticker. Anyway, none of the aforementioned took us to war on the basis of those statements.

By the way, welcome and I hope you enjoy your stay here.

3. I would
If it was the last one. I think that one is accurate if read properly. It would make a good headline after the chimp is defeated in nov. 2004.

5. Actuallly, the first one is right on target.
Unfortunately, the Republicans are as bad or worse when it comes to exploiting children. I'm getting damn tired of being forced to vote for the lesser of evils.

9. I'm sorry, none of those
bumper stickers make any kind of sense at all. If you substituted "Republican" I could see it.

Okay, I know you're thinking some kind of reverse psychology thing, but what a dumb idea.

10. A somewhat similar tactic
Edited on Wed Dec-24-03 06:11 PM by sleepyhead
has been in use since, I think, 1980 or so. A republican (for example) puts bumper stickers on his/her car supporting Democratic candidates/liberal causes and then drives like a jerk, cutting people off, making rude gestures etc. The idea was to plant prejudice in people's minds about the other party, which they would then supposedly remember in the voting booth.

Edited to say that I could never do it - I'd rather get my fingernails pulled out than have a Repuke sticker on my car!

11. I do think it would work, though - negativity motivates people into action
And these would certainly motivate "offline" Democratics to call and offer support, money, time, whatever. Myself, I couldn't do it either, but I was wondering if others would be willing to do it.
