Poll question: Should I make Styrofoam tombstones with anti-Bush slogans for Halloween
decorations to put in my yard? We live in a republican stronghold, and my husband said I will be turned in to the Department of Homeland Security.

If yes, any suggestions for epitaphs?

R.I.P. "W"???

2. NO
Not unless you want the ghouls from the Secret Service showing up begging for your civil liberties. And I doubt they will have any treats for you!

4. I would be wary
of saying anything that could be construed as an actual threat to anyone's life.

That being said, I wouldn't think that there's anything wrong with celebrating the demise of someone's TERM IN OFFICE, or some such thing.

5. That reminds me of a physician here....
last Halloween he did a huge anti-Democrat display. I'll see if I can find the photos and I'll post a thread on it.

Yes, do it.

6. Modify your idea slightly
and there can be no way to interpret it as a threat.

RIP Clean Air Act
RIP Assault Weapons Ban
RIP Affordable Health Care
RIP Public Education

There must be lots more.

8. Though Bush slogans would seem to make more sense
being on tombstones and all -- plus most of the * supporters probably wouldn't realize what you were doing.

9. Just don't threaten King George ...
keep the R.I.P. references non-personal ... maybe something like

Bush-Cheney '04
R.I.P.
Democracy

or

Here lies Democracy
Died on December 12, 2000

14. Scariest Trick: Turn your yard into George W. Bush's America.
You could have subjects on the tombstones such as RIP Social Security or a down arrow labeled "spider hole." Have ghoulish zombie figures of Rumsfeld, Bush, Cheney, et al. Dress up as Ann Coulter and make the kids pee in their pants.
