What is the best message for the oblivious 40 %
The 3rd year anniversary of the illegal and immoral
invasion on Iraq is upon us. I've created some great signs,
but I'm looking for something that openly accepts those
on the fence. The 4 to 5 words that will stop and make
them think... Are there any?

5. Photos of a two I've constructed today
off shoots of others I've seen at different rally's




but what I'd like is a message that without ridicule tells
folks that it's okay you made a mistake, lets fix it
and go on from here.

11. PuraVida - The flower peace symbol is beautiful and the "No Blood For Oil"
is powerful. The liberals on AOL Messageboard are counter-attacking the right-wing posters who are so scarily over the top they are threatening violence. I have been trying to think of something to say that will convince liberals not to back the rightwing against the wall but to make face-saving easier to get them to turn around.

I do post the URL for http://www.StopTheLie.com by a former conservative who is not a liberal but against the PNAC and I believe that both Clintons and Kerry answer to the same people that the Bush Regime does and Bill made terrible cuts in welfare and healthcare and Hillary is being followed by CodePink for her support of the Iraqi and coming Iran war and Hillary orders the CodePink protested arrested just for holding anti-war banners the way Bushco orders Cindy and Stop The War protestors arrested for holding signs at the UN (last week) and wearing a T-Shirt with the names of the Americans killed by the Bush and DINO approved War ON Iraq.

14. I'm pleased to hear that there's a counter-attack..
I had heard that a couple of knuckle-dragging RW thug loudmouths inhabited every AOL board with the sole purpose of shutting discussion down.... And that the tactic had been working well for them.

So finally there's "space" for opposing views?

21. well, they say, "even when his policies do not benefit me
even when I do not agree with him, at least he says what he means and does what he says."

Here's an example:
"This is my approach: tax relief for everybody, in every bracket, averaging $1,600 per family, while still reducing our national debt and funding important priorities." Feb 5, 2001

And it all came true, just like he said. The deficit is long gone and the national debt nearly paid off, and Bush and Republicans have done it without cutting a single program. Okay that's not quite true - they did cut some non-essential unimportant spending - like funding for the dikes around NOLA. But they have funded all our important priorities and reduced our national debt and I got $1600 back on my taxes this year.

Haven't you noticed that? All you gotta do is read the papers.
Okay, it helps if you swallow this rose-colored pill too. :crazy:

22. Be loyal to your Nation, not your party.
Stop acting like fucking brownshirts; stop hating America; and stop believing every word from the mouths of corporate propagandists.
