Bush Farewell Tour? All Dems should call it that
Edited on Sun Aug-08-04 12:14 PM by buycitgo
ALL the time

Keep referring to his campaign tour as the Bush Farewell Tour

pugs are going after Kerry with ridicule

keep repeating that over and over and over

"Well, Tucker, the Bush Farewell Tour got off to a good start last Friday, when your fair haired boy very cleverly renamed the War on Terror. Care to explain what he meant by that?"

"Mary Matalin, tell us: the Bush Farewell Tour is requiring invited attendees to their Farewell Rallies to sign loyalty oaths.
Isn't that the HEIGHT of McCarthyism?"

7. Summed it up for me
When Kerry/Edwards got heckled by a bunch of morlocks chanting "FOUR MORE YEARS!" a group in the crowd started up a rival chant.

Soon, it was "FOUR MORE YEARS!" answered by "THREE MORE MONTHS!"

I liked that.

I think that's as perfect a political slogan as there could be. Short, timely, to the point.

(edited cuz it came in as I was typing)

I'm a laid-off IT worker. I manage to get by every month doing odd IT jobs and some contract work, but it's scary. I'm hoping this store idea will help.

42. my pleasure
had several requests via phone already

sent your site to my sis, who has plenty of bushloathers in her office

her court reporter found a fullsized Bush cutout in her office on her birthday, cause everybody makes fun of how MUCH she can't stand him.....nobody else can, either, but she's one of the converted, and as a former pug, has that special zeal of the jilted.

she LOVES the bush cutout, and is slowly defacing it

25. Yes! and don't forget...
...whenever Bush rolls into town a day or two after Kerry has left, we need to mention that he's playing "Follow the leader".

Thanks to another DUer for that one, sorry I forget who, but it's a great talking point.

I'd give ANYthing to have the entire CAPITOL crowd do that when he hands it over to Kerry

how SWEET would THAT be?

I will BE there with bells on

the only other inaug I witnessed was Reagan's first, and my GF dragged me to that, cause she was a frickin rube

46. I got the Farewell Tour Tshirts already!
Edited on Fri Aug-13-04 11:03 PM by buycitgo
I bought four, and could have given them all away. instead I told people I'd email them your website, so they can order

EVERYBODY thought it was a great slogan! they loved the shirts, even my GM's Philippine caretaker, who's gotten to know Bush through my epithet-laden diatribes directed at the tube.

am going to order more

wish others would do so. they're GREAT attention getters

Good

Georgie!

that's on the back, heh

49. Let's spread this fast.
We each ask 5 of our friends or family to to start using the term "Bush Farewell Tour" whenever someone mentions the Chimp. Ask them to tell 5 people and so on and so on. I'm no mathematician, but the number of people knowing this slogan by the end of the day will increase exponentially.
