Dem manners vs. Rep 'manners'
Yet very sad at the same time. I got this off my Weight Watchers *Give Peace A Chance* Thread, I’ve asked the person that posted it to try and make it available on the web somehow. I’m a complete loser when it comes to the computer but I know it can be done. It does make me feel good about our fellow dems, for some reason I can picture the same thing happening here.

Read and enjoy

Anyway, wanted to share a story. One of our local film students had to make a short movie. He visualized one about local political workers changing a student's opinion about the election. So he put on a Bush/Cheney T-shirt and marched into the local Democratic headquarters (the same one that had cinderblocks thrown though its windows last week). They sat him down, made him a cup of coffee and talked to him for a while, and let him and his crew film them making calls, etc.

Then, wearing a Kerry/Edwards T-shirt, he went to the Republican headquarters, which happens to be in the mall.

THEY CALLED MALL SECURITY!

But not before jeering at him about "why wasn't he wearing his flip-flops?" etc. The mall guard then joined in as they refused to give him any reasons why he would vote for Bush, saying that he would tell him if there was any chance he had half a brain to understand.

The funny thing is, this kid has it all on tape - he ain't making it up. It is extremely damning.

Nothing from the surprises me from people with the mentality of a 2 year old.

4. What format is it in?
Is it a physical, VHS-style video tape? If that's the barrier to getting it on the internet, I would be more than happy to digitize it if HE is willing to send me a copy of said tape.

7. Too bad I can't claim credit for your graphic
Besides, I wanted Bush to point to Kerry.

(I did post the idea the other day).

10. I looked for hours for a shot of Bush pointing to the side.

I couldn't find one that was of decent quality or that remotely worked. So I decided that the "I just had a dumb idea" pose would work as an alternate.

There are no shortage of those.

5. I wanna see it!
This is great. We can send it out all over. And BTW, the pukes get their "manners" under the same rock from which "the Newt" crawled.

8. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Oh, you HAVE to find a way to post this. I would LOVE to find a way to post this. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help. I can get you a domain name and give modest technical advice, although I am not a big-gun-geek by any means.

It will be an internet smash. HOW PRICELESS.

And completely, totally, believeable.

I would love to see this duplicated in other states
and compiled to show that it is basically the same all over the country. If any of you have a way to repeat this it would be priceless!

11. There are 2 kinds of hard-core Republicans, neither of whom can tolerate
ANY disagreement with any of their beliefs.

The first, much smaller group has billions or of dollars at stake, in taxes they want to get out of paying. Ronald Reagan "hooked" them on Republican politics by taking their income tax rates from 70 percent down to 28 percent, at our expense.

The second group of Republicans have been hoodwinked by the first into doing their bidding, using 'God, guns, gays, partial-birth abortion'. and other phony issues that can't really be legislated and thus wouldn't cost much in taxes.

Why would you ever listen to a Democrat, when money is the only thing you care about or when you've been brainwashed just like a Moonie?
