Bumper sticker suggestion: "You can't afford to vote Republican."

[Bossy Monkey]

Inspired by all the crappy vehicles around here (Cola SC, blue city, red state) with W stickers on. So consider this idea on two tracks: its merits as a nationwide campaign, and its merits as a red state only campaign.

Strangely, "I can't afford to vote Republican" stickers and shirts are already on the market. I think my formulation is more useful, but then I would, wouldn't I?

What say you?

1. I say it's brilliant.

Catchy, populist, true.

[TahitiNut]

2. I like it. At least two obvious levels of meaning, both true.

:thumbsup:

You could even preface it with "Whether or not you can read this, ..." :evilgrin:

3. Reminds me of an old Ice Cube lyric :)

"Blacks are too fuckin' broke to be Republicans."

4. Or....."Can You Afford To Vote Republican Again?"

Good idea....I love it....

5. Ooooo. better...I like that one. eom

12. Like that one too. I think it conveys a slightly different concept

but one that's important to get across as well.

6. How bout like this?

11. While the graphic is really great, I think you're mixing two concepts

each of which is too good to waste. The word "Republican" red and melting almost conveys bleeding. I think it would be better broken out as a separate t-shirt/ bumper sticker idea where it really would be bleeding. I think making it my slogan all blue except the red word "Republican" would probably be sufficient, and less confusing. Looks great though; good job!

Edit: At 43, I'm still mixing "two" and "too"; sigh

7. Nice.

Graphics are a bit wierd on the picture though.

8. "You Don't Make Enough Money to Vote Republican"

Just another way of saying the same thing. :-)

9. PERFECT!

Got to find one

10. I'll submit it to admins; if they don't want it, I'll either send it to

Northern Sun or just make one up at CafePress.

13. Skinner says they might use it, so stand by

(or if you can't wait, you can always make up your own by setting up a CafeShop)
