Bumper Stickers

Taking a page from the Karl Rove Play Book, the following are proposed bumper stickers for the Democrats.
Quote:
Republicans are un-Christian, because they don't believe in helping the poor.
Republicans are good at starting wars, but they're really bad at winning wars.
Republicans want us to live on a credit card from China
Republicans like to waste your money on tax breaks for rich people and corporations.
Nobody wasted our money more than George W. Bush.
Republicans want a small government to make it easy for big business to cheat you.
A strong government is our only defense against Wall Street and big business.
We need more regulations to protect us against Wall Street.
The government is the only big corporation on your side: the stronger it is, the better for you.
Democrats use government to free you; Republicans use government to oppress you.
If you don't like paying taxes, you're a traitor to your country.
The GOP stands for the freedom of corporations, not the freedom of people.
If the GOP is for personal freedom, why do they attack women's freedom to choose?
If the GOP is for personal freedom, why don't they want gays to marry?
If the GOP is for personal freedom, why don't they want poor people to vote?
The GOP is against freedom: the freedom of women to choose, the freedom of gays to marry, the freedom of poor people to vote, the freedom of unions to organize.
The Republicans aren't man enough to pay taxes.
Romney isn't man enough to pay his fair share of taxes.
When it comes to paying taxes, Republicans are wuzzes.
The Republicans aren't man enough to stand up against Wall Street.
The Republicans aren't man enough to take on the health insurance industry.
The Republicans aren't man enough to stop tax breaks for big corporations.
The Republicans aren't man enough to force big corporations to pay their fair share of taxes.
The Republicans aren't man enough to force rich people to pay their fair share of taxes.
All the crazy people in America are in the Republican Party.

I'm not Rovian enough. I can't help but mention that the Republicans don't have all the crazies. But in the Democratic Party, they aren't in charge.

Karl Rove's style is to make statements attacking the oppositions self-perceived strengths, with emotionally charged slogans/sound bites that take paragraphs to counter.

That's an excellent description of Rove-strategies.

This year, the Dem's sort of turned it back on Romney with ads critizing the "business tactics" of Bain.

Where can I get one of those?

How about "I'll shake hands with your elephant if you kiss my ass?"

I'm pretty sure I just made that one up. If so, I want royalties.....

Our community has reached a new high (or low) in yard signs.
A new one is showing up around town that only has a web link
and this:

"John Ludlow is a bully"
.....xxxxxxxxxxx.com

i love the font and the triple spaced lines. I'm guessing it's a first draft and they're leaving room for edits...
