Hits on both the house theme and his ties to corporations.

No one can tie a "For Sale" sign to his POW years no matter how hard they try.

2. I can...

He's been using his POW status as a shield, way too often I might add... proof that he's totally for sale, a soulless empty shell of a person, entirely without principles.

:evilgrin:

4. People who experience
PTSD from "For Sale" sign are poor folks whose homes are being foreclosed on.

McCain is really starting to piss me off even more. I didn't think that was possible.

3. I like it--and did you know that Cindy sold her historc neighborhood childhiood home;
a gracious 1920's Pueblo style that is (or was*) located in one of Phoenix's most gorgeous neighborhoods?

More Republican family values for you.

*Likely to developers, who are mowing down Phoenix's oldest neighborhoods to put up cookie cutter condos. I can't verify who it was sold to, but the smart money is on to one of Kept Johnny's developer friends...

11. Yet another much much much MUCH better suggestion... that some DUers will resist...
can't imagine why they would insist on using the method that will backfire...

12. You know the GOP
will try to paint jangling keys as the Democrat attempt to mock McCain's POW status.

Personally, I wish the Democrats would stop even mentioning McCain's honorable service because I think it blunts our attacks on him.

When someone says "John McCain served honorably but..." I think most people just hear that and not the criticism of his policies that may follow.

We need to stay away from anything that reminds people of the POW thing. Let McCain trivialize it. Democrats repeatedly reminding people how honorably Jon McCain served sort of validates that as a talking point.

"For Sale" leaves the POW thing out of the mix entirely.

14. I like this idea much better, Housing Crisis theme is about foreclosure
but the sign has to tie in to a criticism of McCain too... hmmmmm
