An answer to BandAidGate

[Lorien]

Repugs have insulted and belittled all veterans with “BandAidgate”. It’s time to turn the tables on them! A few suggestions for protesters:

1.) Hang silver spoons (“cokespoons”) and empty beer cans or beer caps from protest signs. Attach “AWOL’ streamers for added effect.

2.) Make necklaces from beer tabs or caps to wear at protests. Hang a small silver spoon as a pendant from them.

3.) Always carry copies of AWOL’s records, plus military enrollment forms to protests.

The GOP has insulted the American Military. Bush* himself showed unbelievable disrespect for the Texas Air National Guard when he didn’t perform his duty. IT’S TIME WE PUT THE GOP ON THE DEFENSIVE!!

1. Agree. WE need to put the GOP on the defensive and let Kerry talk issues

and solutions to the problems facing the nation.

2. Where can I download a copy of Military Enlistment forms?

Anyone know? I would love to make copies to keep in my car and purse.

3. Spoons is good!

I say just go with the spoons. Simple, easy, and then we can say "Chimpy McCokespoon" which still cracks me up every time.

8. I prefer the Purple Molar

Given to Bush for his courageous Clean Teeth initiative while under stress at the dentist's office.
