My friend suggested that everyone supporting public option wear orange hats

[xiamiam]

or t shirts or arm bands or something to identify the masses that the polls tend to ignore...whaddya think?..

[havocmom]

1. I think few people own any orange garments at all

Pick a more flattering color and you might find people have it to wear. I think your friend is not well motivated or didn't think this one through.

[xiamiam]

3. i thought orange was a good color since it was non threatening...

the lunatics would pick on red or purple...just kidding...

[madaboutharry]

6. Orange is a hard color to wear for most people.

I don't own a single article of clothing in orange.

[eShirl]

19. hunters' hats. (probably sold at Walmart) n/t

[havocmom]

31. Wouldn't be caught dead in one.

[madaboutharry]

2. Is there some meaning in the color orange?

I do think some kind of a mass public statement is a great idea.

[xiamiam]

11. that was my thought...it wouldnt matter what color.just so long as millions of us made the statement

[PVnRT]

15. Dutch nationalism?

:shrug:

[Jackeens]

34. Err, I'm not sure too many Irish (Nationalist) Americans would choose that colour

:rofl:

4. I think your friend has a garage full of orange hats they need to unload.

:)

[liberal N proud]

5. The gun nuts would just wonder what hunting season it is.

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

7. I think your friend is a lobbyist for Big Orange Hat. n/t

[undeterred]

8. Then we would all be Illinois fans or Bear fans

which is fine with me.

[HarveyDarkey]

9. I've got an orange jumpsuit

last used at the last march on the Pentagon. Will that work?

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

10. It's somewhat appropriate since orange hats are associated with Howard Dean

And currently Howard Dean is associated with public option. It's an interesting idea.

[asdjrocky]

12. Great idea.

I can go out and buy something else to support an idea that I've all ready spent money on so the people we elected will do the right thing.

How about this? How about our reps do the job we sent them there to do?

[xiamiam]

13. yeah right...they pretend they represent us...not quite true however

i've got sam farr and barbara boxer..lucky..

[asdjrocky]

14. Dinnes Cardoza here.

Blue Dog co-chair and he won't call me back. Called him once a week now for like 4 weeks. Won't even take the time to pick up the phone and call me.

Signed up at his site over a month ago, still no email.

He's the worse.

[xultar]

16. Sounds to me like your friend sells orange hats, t-sirts, and armbands?

:evilgrin:

[scheming daemons]

17. What a great way to bring derision an ridicule to public option supporters!

Geezus, some people don't think.


You want the support of people, you've got to come up with something a lot less dorky than this.

[xiamiam]

18. why?..the majority support it...would be easier than everyone getting in the streets

i dont even wear hats or orange and i would commit to wearing something this month which confirms my solidarity...

[scheming daemons]

20. Nobody under 35 would be caught dead wearing orange in public like this....

..and they would ridicule those who did.

[xiamiam]

21. oh lord..pick a color..nt

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

24. Because it manages to be pointless, stupid, and self-righteous all at once. n/t

[havocmom]

33. We have our WINNUR!

:applause: :woohoo: :applause: :woohoo: :applause: :woohoo: :applause: :woohoo:

[rug]

22. If we have to wear orange hats to get heatlh care, we're screwed.

[xiamiam]

23. duzy alert..nt

[inna]

25. lol

for some reason, that gave me a belly laugh. not as if this whole health care thing is funny, in any way....

[inna]

26. what a bizarre idea, why orange??

try green or blue instead?.... :shrug:

[treestar]

27. good idea

all these posts about orange are silly but how about ribbons? You know the twisted ribbon that always stands for something, depending on color.

[havocmom]

30. hmmm...

I still don't like the orange. Maybe it's the Irish in me?

29. Can't do it - its almost football season!

And orange around here stands for the arch rival school.

My fellow South Carolinians will think I'm supporting Clemson.

32. The only orange thing I have is my scarf

for 2004 robbery... too hot for scarf

LOL
