What would YOU say to America if you had the chance?

Sat Oct 21, 2006 at 01:25:20 PM PDT

Looking for a little help here, as I have an idea which may work out well...

What if...

you had a projector, and the means to project an image from a laptop onto the walls of buildings as rush hour traffic crawled by...

what would you say to these people?

I'm thinking...

* the video of GWB giving the camera the finger

* pictures of the fallen soldiers he killed in Iraq

* graphs of our economic decline

* quotes of the local Republicrooks praising the worst president ever.

but you tell me.

'cause I'm going to do it...

Poll

will I get in trouble?

    A slideshow of images of bad stuff (e.g. Katrina damage) juxtaposed against relevant Bush quotes (e.g. "you're doing a heckuva job, Brownie"), with a final text-only slide reading something like "no thinking American can continue to believe anything Bush says."  Or something equally damning but more eloquent that you might think up...

    about Iraq.  I know they're stockpiled on one of the liberal sites.  About how it would be "weeks not months."  About how democracy is messy.  About how we would be greeted with flowers. About last throes.  About turning a corner.  

    But, mostly the timetables.  I have some of them myself - Republicans saying that if it didn't end within a few months, then it meant failure.

    help us, plus if you add a bunch of lemmings going over the proverbial cliff or any cliff for that matter, that would add to the message. Holography is good too.

    I made this on another diary but how about the video of Bush trying to get out of the door in China only to find it locked. Tag line: "Do you really believe the Republicans can find a way out of Iraq?"

    The loop of him actually trying the door and looking stupid is only about 10 to 15 seconds which is what you need with moving traffic.

    Take care in case you get arrested for endangering the traffic by distracting the drivers with a long video.

    you superimpose graphs like these. Replace text with simple imagery, i.a. a flag-draped casket, the Halliburton logo, a $ sign..

    This technique is a public safety issue.  Drawing drivers' attention from the road is dangerous.

    a tanker burning.

    The words:  "IRAQ QUAGMIRE - IT'S GETTING WORSE!"

    That's all.  It's the most consistent theme for those who are voting against the Republicans this year.  It is the most obvious, clear issue to hang on the Republicans.  Even the right wingers are suspecting that it wasn't sucha good idea  to go in there, and maybe the lax attitude of no oversight got us into ttrouble, and maybe we need to get new people in there to change our course of action.   It is the message with the most impact.

  •  Jobs don't come from tax cuts for the wealthy (0+ / 0-)

    and corporations.  Jobs come from demand for goods and services and it's YOU - the 90% of Americans who didn't get the huge tax cuts - it's YOU who generate that demand.  But how can you do that when your wages have remained stagnant while home prices, healthcare costs and gasoline have gone through the roof?  While the DOW and the profits of oil and health insurance companies hit all time records, where are the jobs that these lower-taxed profits were supposed to magically create?  Where are you going to get the money to buy goods and services beyond your basic necessities (if you can even still afford those)?  It sure as hell isn't gonna be the "every man for himself", "let's make it tougher for working folks and US soldiers to declare bankruptcy" Republicans that are gonna help you out of a tough time.

    Some folks prefer a map and finding their own route. Others need someone to tell them where to go.
