Hey! I just thought how we take back the Congress!
Edited on Sun Jun-17-07 08:36 PM by The Backlash Cometh
It was staring at us in the face all this time! It worked for Hoover, it worked for Rove, it will work for us! Dig up the dirt on those Democrats & Republicans who insist on selling us out. If it's the only thing that works in Washington, why are we hesitant to use it in our favor?

It's not like we're bribing them to do something they didn't promise us they'd do when we voted them into office. In fact, we're bribing them to keep their promises!

My favorite saying about my community is that my neighborhood is one lawsuit away from being honest. Maybe Congress needs the same kind of coaxing?

3. We already tried that once before and it backfired.
I say we start targeting conservative Dems and outing them to their constituents for the colon blockers they are.

2. Send pretzels? Mountain bikes without helmets?
Just kidding ya-
I like your idea, however, it require an honest media,
willing to report the facts in order for it to work.
Maybe we should send the pretzels and bikes to the network
conglomerates...

4. Well, why don't we ask Larry Flynt to extend his parameters to his litmus
test for hypocrisy?

5. I don't like it
It sounds really slimy to me. I mean I'm willing to get out there in the street with signs (where are people today?) I'm not willing to become morally as bad as those I wish to depose. Besides, they're always going to be more evil than we are. We can't compete with them on that level.

6. Let's find some solace in the thought that they're always going
to be more evil than we are. Now, I say desperate moments call for desperate measures. We have You-tube. Let's use it.
