The Latest Crap Being E-Mailed Around By Repugs.....
I just received this from my Repug friend. He sends me one or two e-mails a day that are either filled with lies or are anti-Dem. This is the latest piece that is going around Repug circles. It is entitled "The Wisdom of Solomon":

'Fellow Business Owners:

As a Business owner who employs 30 people, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barack Obama will be our next President, and that my Taxes and Fees will go up in a BIG way. To compensate for these increases, I figure that the Customer will have to see an increase in my fees to them of about, 8%. I will also have to lay off 6 of my employees.

This really bothered me as I believe we are family here and didn't know how to choose who will have to go. So, this is what I did.

I strolled thru the parking lot and found 8 Obama bumper stickers on my employees’ cars. I have decided these folks will be the first to be laid off. I can't think of another fair way to approach this problem. If you have a better idea, let me know. I am sending this letter to all Business owners that I know.'



So you Obama supporters out there that want to protect yourself - take your bumper stickers off your car or order up some additional Obama/Biden bumper stickers and covertly put them on the bumpers of your Repug co-workers. They won't know what hit them.

3. They can't even write consistent fables.
"I have to lay off six employees."

"I'll just find eight cars with Obama stickers."

Which is it, six or eight? With math skills like those, that "business owner" was headed for bankruptcy anyway.

4. Sounds like a good opportunity for a "bumper sticker attack."
Plaster every car in the lot, including the boss's car, with an Obama bumper sticker

business anyway. If they are so close to the edge now there future looks bleak. If they lay-off people they will make even less money and piss off the remaining work force so in the end they will have less revenue less production and will go out of business. This is just a scare tactic by people that probably don't even have a business like Sam the not plumber.
