A hypermanic version of Jimmy Carter

We are losing the media battle for the hearts and minds of Americans over the war on terrorism in Iraq. The left controls the MSM...networks, much of cable, the major newspapers, magazines, hollywood, academia, etc. Rallies get scant coverage, positive developments in Iraq get spiked and the news is ALL BAD. They are never going to report fairly until they have elected a dem as President, and then it will be too late.
Now we're never going to convince the hardcore lefties or committed dems who will support anything, no matter how much it hurts the country, as long as it helps elect dems to office. We don't need to convince those of us on the right, that is just preaching to the choir and a waste of resources.
If we want to change the course of public opinion we need to reach those middle swing voters, independents and leaning pubbies who supported the war at the beginning but are now "going wobbly" as Margaret Thatcher might say.
The only way we can reach the public is by going around the MSM. This doesn't leave many avenues but there is one...outdoor advertising. While we don't have the money to rent thousands of billboards (yet) there is one thing we can do in the next 18 months that could be very effective...bumper stickers.
BS are traveling billboards and each one can create hundreds of impressions a day. Getting 100k or 500k or even 1 million BS's out on cars before the next election might help turn the tide.
1. The goal - Reshape majority opinion on the need to stay the course in Iraq.
2. Target - Independents, right leaning dems, swing voters and wobbly pubs and conservatives.
3. Method - Create millions of impressions each day that impact people on the need to defeat terror in Iraq and to support the Iraqi people in their efforts to create a funtioning democracy.
We need to create BS "slogans" that our targets will go "hmmm" at. They can't be in your face, they can't be overtly political and they absolutely cannot make them feel like they are traitors or are being accused of not supporting the military. If that is the impression created we'll lose them before we even get a shot at them. Many if not most of these "targets" DID support the war at one time and DO feel they support the military, but the left has been effective in co-opting that theme with "Yes, support the military by bringing them home", so it's impact has been diminished. This isn't saying supporting the troops isn't a noble cause and those efforts should be terminated, as it's important for our soldiers to know they have our support. But this media effort is not targeted at the military.
So, put yourself in the shoes of someone who at one time supported the effort in Iraq and maybe now has changed their mind. What could we put in a bumper sticker that might have them saying to themselves "Hmmm, I didn't think of that", or "I think that's right".
Please keep in mind brevity is critical to success in people seeing and understanding the message. The rule of thumb in marketing is you have 3 seconds, at best, to get your point across.
NOTE - We haven't come up with a plan yet on distributing the BS. The idea is still in it's conceptual stage, but all suggestions are welcome.
You can buy adhesive-backed, self-sticking magnetic material in sheets.
EPSON printers that use their “DuraBrite” inks, produce output that is waterproof.
Put the two together and you can make whatever magnetic bumper sticker you want to. Compose it on your computer, print it, cut it to size, stick on the magnetic backing and — Viola! — your own home-made, scathingly politically incorrect bumper sticker.
If you want additional weatherproofing and smudge resistance, give it an overcoat of flat clear spray paint.
The principle key to observe is to maintain clear legibility from at least 50 feet; this will ensure that people get your message without having to tailgate you to read it.
They might tailgate you AFTER they read it, but that’s a different problem. Heh-heh!

I believe we need to hit them right between the eyes when they look at the BS, T-shirt, sweat-shirt, ballcap, mug, etc., make them think "what" and want to go to the URL below to understand what the hell it means. Some are verbatim by the poster; some are a modification of others; a few are mine.
Keep in mind, the periods, commas, semi-colons, colons, and dashes can be interchanged or eliminated according to space on the media, not to mention grammar...haha. I just copied some directly off the thread. Also, the brackets are just an additional suggestion for a given slogan.

"Democrats: Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory since 1975...."
"WHAT DO YOU CALL 1 MILLION DEAD TERRORISTS? A GOOD START!"
"TERRORISTS WANT TO MEET ALLAH. HELP THEM MAKE THE MEETING!"
"HELP DISCOURAGE INBREEDING! KILL A TERRORIST!"
"WHAT DO YOU GET WHEN YOU CROSS A PIG WITH A TERRORIST?
NOTHING! THERE ARE JUST SOME THINGS A PIG WON'T DO!"
"SAVE THE WORLD! KILL A JIHADIST!"
"KILL TERRORISM....BEFORE IT KILLS YOU!"
"GLOBAL WARMING ISN'T THE PROBLEM, ISLAM IS!"
Then try these out...
Depends on the woman. Rosie O or "Stretch" Pelosi would look absolutely FABULIOUS in a burka....
“Kill Them All - Let Allah Sort Them Out!”
“Save an Infidel, Kill a Jihadi!”
“’al-Sadr’: It’s Iraqi for ‘Democrat’”
“No Appeasment, No Burhkas, No Surrender!”
“Democrats + Islam = Dhimmitude”
“Appease now, die later.”
Kill ‘em all, let Allah sort ‘em out.
One of the worst things around is the bumper sticker that is too small with lots of text.
