3. I don't know
Straightforward. To the point. Doesn't mince words.

Maybe this is what it takes to wake some people up and make them pay attention.

4. The caption's the problem . . .
Not to mention, using an American flag made of coffins may 'turn off' undecided voters. Perhaps we should keep this one to ourselves. (EVEN THOUGH IT'S TRUE)

2. Wait till they reach a nice round 1000
But I also agree, it's a big too harsh. Remember you don't want to insult the dumb asses that let Bush into office (though they may deserve it); you want them to think.

6. Much better.
Edited on Mon Aug-16-04 02:57 PM by Feanorcurufinwe
For instance, you are unlikely to convince any Republicans to vote for Kerry by saying:

"900+ Dead Americans needlessly sacrificed on the Republican alter of lies, arrogance and greed. This Novemver hold the Bush regime accountable, and vote them out."


But:

"900+ Dead Americans.
Hold Bush accountable."

works for everybody.
