[Algomas]

67. Hey, somebody stole my logo...

Check out my avatar. My license plate also reads FUGWB. I hope it catches on because it expresses my true feelings for Bu$hco and I would love to see more people stand up and say FUGWB!!!

Please make sure the Firesign Theatre gets credit, admins. I don't want anyone sued for plagiarism or nothin'.

[blondeatlast]

28. Can I trade in 6 DU stickers for a t-shirt? But, how to decide?!

Excellent work, my fellow evilDUers!

[LynneSin]

29. Hey, what about the updated "Axis of Evil" shirt

Replacing Asscrap's head with Rumsfield??

[Skinner]

32. Look closely. (nt)

[LynneSin]

35. YEAH

I'll have to get a new one before my next protest

[Beaverhausen]

36. hee hee

http://www.cafepress.com/du_store.21467805

[Misunderestimator]

30. I love them all! I may have to get more than one...

but I'm going to start with the FUGWB one. So succinct!

[cyclezealot]

31. I like the Vote Republican tee.

A bumper sticker been going through my mind..Because I have been seeing so many Bush bumper stickers about my neck of the woods..Just gets me enraged...
But to express my rage over the azz hole...
"Feed the Prez a pretzel..."
Expresses my contempt. Be good on a tee shirt? Guy croaks, I pull the cork off some champange. After all he is doing his best to throw us all out with his garbage.

[DemExpat]

33. They are all just great!

Good job, all!





DemEx

[Debi]

34. OMG, this is so cool

I never win anything!

However, I may have to buy RKZ's shirt with the elephant poop!!!!

[keithjx]

37. Awesome DU!!!!

Thanks so much! I hadn't checked the store before - I picked up a shirt for me and one for my fiancee. You guys RULE!

KJ

On edit:
One small suggestion, PLEASE!!! Next time, could you include a DU logo on the shirts somewhere? I'm assuming it costs more to throw a little logo on the back or something, but I'd like one either on the back btwn the shoulders or on the front about waist level in a corner. Just a thought. But I still LOVE 'em.

Thanks again -
KJ

[JohnnyCougar]

38. When does the second round start?

And where?

[BattyDem]

47. EarlG said to make suggestions in this thread

It's in his message ... just below all the winning t-shirts.

[Rainscents]

39. Great Tees! I love all of it!

[Richardo]

41. "church and hate" and "stupid president" are my faves, but they all rock

Great job, peeps!

[Richardo]

42. Great EarlG!! If I may be so bold...

...why not a miniature "DU" logo on the lower right of the design, like a signature? OR perhaps centered on the back neckline?

[katinmn]

44. yup, I'd like to see the DU logo on the shirts, too

we'll be walking billboards.

[BattyDem]

52. I agree ...

A DU logo somewhere on the shirt would be great! How about on the sleeve?

[katinmn]

43. These are all great!

I'm ordering the "I believe in separation of church and hate" one.

Nice work, Debi!

[katinmn]

46. Earl -- can you add a line of buttons or pins, too?

Very good for meet-ups and rallies so we can recognize each other. I think they'd sell really well.

Thanks.

[BattyDem]

48. Another suggestion

There was a thread in the lounge last year about having a DU slogan and I came up with this:

"I DU, Do You?"


I used it as my email sig for a while and many people asked me what it meant, so I got to tell them about DU - which was my intention all along, LOL!

By the way ... congrats to all the winners!

On edit: I love them all, but this one made me LOL -
"Vote Republican. Because personal responsibility is for other people"

[geniph]

49. I have a new one...

prompted by some threads on this topic in the past:

THE SUPPORT OUR TROOPS REALLY NEED
IS FIRE SUPPORT.

ENLIST!

[snowbear]

50. Kewl slogans!

ih8thegop.. I wish you would have submitted your "I am a Christian, not a Fristian" quote.

That one ROCKS!!

[Catchawave]

51. These are wonderful !

Congratulations to all the suggestors

[hootinholler]

53. My ideas:

Front:
Why does Sibel Gag?

Back:
What are they
HIDING?


Another idea:

Got PNAC?

<Dean Picture>

See a Dr.
Get rid of it.

-Hoot

[Garage Queen]

54. Congrats to all the winners!

Nice work, folks.

[meganmonkey]

55. There goes a couple months of my discretionary spending $!!

I want one of each! Okay, I'll narrow it down.

GOOD JOB EVERYONE!!!

[lonestarnot]

56. Shit I want one of each, can't decide which one... will be back but think

fav. is FUGWB

[Robb]

57. My megalomaniacal t-shirt suggestion:

"10. George W. Bush is a Dingbat."

These are great! Man, Christmas is in the bag!!

[tallahasseedem]

58. Wonderful!

I already ordered the ones made by RagingInMiami and Pert_UK!

[Mugweed]

59. Kudos to such creativity of everyone

I must say, though, FUGWB is my sentiments exactly. Blunt enough to convey the feeling, clever enough that many a moran will only get it long after their chance to act out is long past.

[BrklynLiberal]

60. Congrats to the winners. so much creativity! I am having a tough time

deciding which to buy..can't afford them all.

[Kipepeo]

61. Thanks for the Women's Ringer Tee Styles!!!

They rock.

These are excellent new designs too!

[alfredo]

62. I have a few

that might be OK with you.



and

[Straight Shooter]

63. I admit, my favorite is the "personal responsibility" T-shirt

Of all the traits Repubs possess, their Grand Canyon gap between words and actions never ceases to amaze and annoy me.

Second to that, FUGWB

They're all great, though. One for every mood.

[stpalm]

64. I have a suggestion!

I came up with it in this thread:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...


Liberals. Never Right, Always Correct.




or replace 'Liberals' with 'DU'. either one works. you get the idea.

[Initech]

66. I also have a suggestion!

It would look like this poster:



Except it would say:

Republicanism

Hey, if you dont like it, blame Clinton!

Or:

Republicanism

Dont agree with me? Then you're a terrorist!

Or:

Republicanism

I'd tell you more but I plead the fifth!

Or:

Republicanism

It's not my fault, it's that blasted liberal media's fault!

Or:

Conservatism

Why are you looking at this shirt? Go back and watch Dan Rather, you hippie liberal!

[The Animator]

68. Damn, I didn't even know there was a contest!

What's the deadline for the next round, I got a million ideas.

[lonestarnot]

70. Me either....LOL

[THUNDER HANDS]

71. wow, sweet!

that's awesome. I'm glad you guys liked my suggestion!

[JohnnyCougar]

72. Good work all...how about this suggestion:

Front: "Bush: Trying to turn Iraq into America..."
Complete with picture of war planes, tanks, etc...

Back: "And America into Iraq"
With picture of Patriot Act and Guantanamo Bay reference.

[amb123]

74. T-Shirt Idea #1

DemocraticUnderground.Com

Down with the Tyranny of the White, Anglo-Saxon, Rich, Christian, Heterosexual Male!

[amb123]

75. T-Shirt Idea #2 - The Non-Negotiable Democratic Platform

The Non-Negotiable Democratic Platform

Freedom for Everyone - Non-Negotiable
Equal Rights for Everyone - Non-Negotiable
Equal Opportunities for Everyone - Non-Negotiable
Equal Education for Everyone - Non-Negotiable
Seperation of Church & State - Non-Negotiable
Women Controlling Their Own Bodies - Non-Negotiable
Free & Fair Elections - Non-Negotiable
The Right to Think - Non-Negotiable

[amb123]

76. T-Shirt Idea #3

DemocraticUnderground.Com

No Freedom Without Church/State Seperation!

[mistertrickster]

77. Here's my idea--(Picture) Yellow ribbon sticker magnet "Support Our

Troops"--(Small letters under) "Otherwise, I won't be able to afford gas for my ridiculously gigantic SUV."

[Floogeldy]

78. All of those slogans are GREAT!!!

Congrats, folks.

[swimmernsecretsea]

79. I like them all.

I refuse to choose, and you can't make me. There, I said it.

[MarianJack]

80. I Have 2 if I'm Not Too Late!

1 49%

WE WILL NOT
BE SILENCED!


2 Black Box Voting

Because Elections are
Too Important
To Be Left Up To The
People!

Just my $.02. I hope I'm not too late!

BTW, In another couple of weeks (1 or 2 paychecks from now), I'm getting the "Personal Responsibility" one for me, the "Separation of Church and Hate" for my wife (DUer ChicaAzul), and "All I Got Was This STUPID PRESIDENT" for our son. HE won't wear his unless hes with both his mom and I. After all, some courageous rightie may try to intimidate (or worse) a 5 year old to make him/herself feel brave like their president!

[Initech]

81. Thought of another great one

Here it is:

Isnt "red" slang for communist?

Therefore, wouldnt "Red State" imply "Communisto Sympatico?"

[kitkatrose]

85. How about,

Red = Republican
Red = Communist
Republican = Communist

[Tafiti]

82. Here's one:

Vote Republican...

...because in Corporate America, the gap between more and enough never closes.

[Beaverhausen]

83. Monday morning kick

Congrats to all the winners!

[Pert_UK]

84. Fantastic! Glad the admins liked my idea!

I just hope that they ship to the UK!
