5. more about fliers
these fliers are trying to be more closely related to advertising than to policy analysis. there are plenty of "10 appalling lies that bush told to get us into war" and "bush's 20 shameful lies" lists going around (though libs don't seem to chain email political stuff to each other nearly as much as repugs do - note also that the repug political emails have a high proportion of pornographic content, not that i have anything against porn, mind you, but this phenom just illustrates the level of what is oxymoronically called "conservative thought.").

my goal with these fliers was to hit a person's head frequently with the word-picture associations on those flier, so that the next time my victim saw a news report or news conference wherein the president appeared to possibly be at odds with the truth, my victim's tiny mind would say, "Oh yeah: Bush: LIAR". and eventually my victim wouldn't believe a single word out of bush's asshole mouth. not that a single word out of that mouth is believable anyway.

these fliers were also created so that when a person would, say, hear a stat on the latest unemployment rate, she might voluntarily or not at least get the picture of commander bunnypants in her mind. or when a person heard that dick cheney's former company halliburton had gotten no-bid contracts in iraq, the "SLEAZY" message would be further reinforced in his head. that was the intent at least. i haven't read enough about marketing and mind-control to know how well these tactics work, but i am worked up about these con-men who highjacked the republic, and i wanted try to do at least something to try to improve things in some small way. i'm not afraid to fail, obviously.

thanks for the feedback, but i like the darned fliers.
