On Open-Source Campaigning, Or, Do It Yourself Yard Signs

Just yesterday I was doing some reading at the BlueNC site, and I found this story by persondem who is planning to make and presumably distribute anti-McCain yard signs.

persondem was asking the community for slogans...which got me to thinking, “why not?”

Before I knew what I was doing I had created roughly 50 of the darn things—and that’s how we get to today’s story...

As I said, there are quite a few...so do you have a handy beverage and a snack?

OK, then, if you’re ready, here we go...


McCain?
Family values?
Ask his first wife...

McCain for President?
"A cold chill down my spine..."
--Senator Thad Cochran
(R-Mississippi)

We need a President...
...not McPatton.

Only tax the middle class.
Then the rich can afford
to hire more of us.
