Sloganeering. Wake up Carville, we've got something for you!
Edited on Thu Sep-16-04 11:20 AM by skip fox
DU, let's think up additional slogans or strategies for Kerry. Here's mine:

"Truman had a sign on his desk: . . . 'The Buck Stops Here!' But the sign on my opponent's desk reads: . . . 'A Dollar Just Doesn't Go So Far Anymore.' . . . He should have a sign saying . . . 'The Blame Starts from Here."

(The last part was in yesterday's speech. Now it can be extended. The long statement on Bush's "sign" is deliberately awkward and lengthy to give it a certain rhythm as well as a sense of defensiveness.)

1. Hey, half ass!
Being decisive is only half the job, Mr. President. You also have to get it right, and you haven't gotten any of it right.

2. I still like "Turn the Corner. Elect John Kerry."
Or "Accomplish the Mission. Elect John Kerry."

But in your vein:

"Pass on the Buck-Passer. Send John Kerry."


"Let Kerry Do It!"

"If Bush Won't, Kerry Will."

7. Print it and plaster it everywhere
The high res file (300 dots per inch) is a TIF file which will open in most Image Processing programs such as PhotoShop or Paint Shop Pro. I am also working on a PDF version if people have problems opening the file.

8. I "third" it!
It's sharp, funny, to the point, etc.

11. Get it out there by printing and photocopying it
The file is called flopflipper.TIF. To download it you have to go to http://somanmblst.tripod.com and right click on the image you see which is the low res flopflipper.GIF. You must choose SAVE TARGET AS to save the high res flopflipper.TIF file to your hard drive.

flopflipper.TIF will open in image processing programs such as Paint Shop Pro and Photoshop.

If you have trouble contact me.

Kerry- Put America up on blocks.

14. New Slogan
No child left behind. Yours could be drafted next. (Even the National Guard can't get you out of this one.)
