Still in-progress, a little.
But I wanted your comments.

The McCain thing was a little weak. I did like the Mitt vs. Obama thing, though. The front page was perfect. I sprayed wild cherry kool-aid through my nose on that.

Is this a bhuddist thing?

Interesting, but why the brochure format?

Tao is Chinese for ‘way’, encompasing a philosophy/religous-mindset.

From Wikipedia:

Tao or Dao (道) is a Chinese concept signifying 'way', 'path', 'route', or sometimes more loosely, 'doctrine' or 'principle', or as a verb, speak. Within the context of traditional Chinese philosophy and religion, Tao is a metaphysical concept originating with Laozi that gave rise to a religion and philosophy referred to in English with the single term Taoism.

I wanted to do less writing than an essay?

Right, I should have thought of that.

BTW- I just entered “The First Line” contest, top prize is 30 whole bucks. I popped out a 1,540 word story in an hour.

Thank you very much.

I did like the Mitt vs. Obama thing, though.

Obama v. Romney was, IMO, literally no choice as they are politically the same person.

The McCain thing was a little weak.

Yeah.
It seemed a bit more clever kicking it through my head — how McCain's a hero because of the POW thing but Snowden isn't because he hid (from a government that is increasingly lawless and murderous.)
:(

You should actually print them up and pass them around. Mocking is a very potent weapon.

REpublican:
it means reserving a room down at the country club. Get 200 of your closest friends for $1000 per plate dinner. For your favorite candidate.

Repeat. Ad infinitum.

Kinda boring, really.

I believe that falls under the heading of “stability”.
Thought it touches on “personal financial security”, too.

1WS just explained it to me.

Here is my understanding of this mystical RINO mumbo-jumbo: TAO means “ TAX ALL! (signed, Obama).”

I'd like to, unfortunately I'm in Idaho in a small town with [much] less than 5k pop. It is highly unlikely they'd make much of a splash on the national [much less state] level.

Ping me when you have it to your final satisfaction, and I'll get some printed off and pass them around. There are some that live near me that need to see the GOP-E for what it is.

the RNC's vision of what it means to be a republican

Their only principle is to have no principles, their only strategy is preemptive surrender, and their only plan for victory is to tick off the base as much as possible.
