The New Theme for 06 and 08: "Just a Comma"

[Malikshah]

Any ideas for posters/flash pages/speeches, using this little "just a comma" statement by Lord Pissypants???


It's a simple, clear message.

2700 troops
20,000 casualties

40,000 Iraqis (low balling big time)

All-- "just a comma"

Georgie-- these people are more than a comma.

BLITZER: Let’s move on and talk a little bit about Iraq. Because this is a huge, huge issue, as you know, for the American public, a lot of concern that perhaps they are on the verge of a civil war–if not already a civil war–We see these horrible bodies showing up, tortured, mutilation. The Shia and the Sunni, the Iranians apparently having a negative role. Of course, al Qaeda in Iraq is still operating.

BUSH: Yes, you see — you see it on TV, and that’s the power of an enemy that is willing to kill innocent people. But there’s also an unbelievable will and resiliency by the Iraqi people…. Admittedly, it seems like a decade ago. I like to tell people when the final history is written on Iraq, it will look like just a comma because there is — my point is, there’s a strong will for democracy. (emphasis added)

3. Can some computer savy person put together a macro that will

type 2,700 commas? We can then mail these to congress etc.

4. I keep hearing Boy George in my head. "Comma, comma,

comma, comma, comma chameleon."

Something with *Semi-Colon* Powell.

Our troops are fighting overseas in burning Iraqi *ampersand* getting their *asterisks* kicked. *Tilde* come home, we'll *pound* the pavement in protest.

<<edited to remove stupid period line>>

5. "just a comma to the Commander In Chief"

a bronze comma to your family to go with the folded up flag...

if you're really good and irrelevant maybe you'll get the Silver Asterisk!

this is Bush's "Let Them Eat Cake" moment, if Democrats have the courage to nail him with it.

6. Zoom in on a little comma, and inside it, you see all the mayhem...

car bombs, torture, massacres, soldiers coffins...

[valerief]

7. Yeah, a comma is like a little spiral. Iraq has spiraled out of

control.

8. That's Great--- for webpages-- one can have a clear message

Quote his statement

BUSH: Yes, you see — you see it on TV, and that’s the power of an enemy that is willing to kill innocent people. But there’s also an unbelievable will and resiliency by the Iraqi people…. Admittedly, it seems like a decade ago. I like to tell people when the final history is written on Iraq, it will look like just a comma because there is — my point is, there’s a strong will for democracy. (emphasis added)

For each comma in his statement---make a hyperlink (can't do it in this message, I'm not savvy enough)

And the hyperlink goes to any number of sites (Iraq body count, the list of the fallen US service men and women, links to casualties)

People love to click links...

Of course this would only work for websites, but it would be effective.
