I've gotten ten thousand pieces of shit mail from Rethuglicans wanting me
to vote for them in their primary here in Texas on Tuesday. When they come to the door, I tell them I'm voting in the Democratic Primary and they look at me like I have bird flu (I'm in south Texas) and it might be catching.

Anyway, I've gotten more mail from Glenn Hegar, shithead for Texas senate, than anyone else. I've made it a policy to use his glossy-faced-fliers with his cutie-pie wife and infant daughter as seat cushions and firestarters.

What are you using Rethuglican mail propaganda for?

1. Compost
or the makings for papercrete. But don't get mad about the mailings-look at it this way, they wasted their money sending stuff to you.

5. I actually thought of asking them to send me a bunch of expensive
mailings to distribute in my neighborhood, but I didn't want them to catch on and turn me in to the IRS for a harassment audit.

6. Careful about burning it . . . probably toxic
Actually, it is probably toxic without burning it.

I have a cockatiel who poops on Hostettler and Mike Sodrel propaganda. He has recommended it to kitty for her litter box . . .

7. if they have a return envelope
fill it up with junk and send it back. A caller on Ed Schultz today suggested putting 2 pennies in and telling them that you are giving them your 2 cents.

14. Put it around a brick. We've all paid too much to the repubs through
taxes already.

11. Me too, here in Illinois
My favorite is from the idiot fundie right winger running for congress in the 8th. Salvi (R-nut)
One flyer I got today is all about how those terrible DC politicians are spending like it's no tomorrow. And she wll go there and stop it. Sure she will. Like all Repubs it's all lies and hypocrisy. Gee, which party has racked up the biggest deficit in history and looted the treasury? The bimbo will go to congress and, like all Repubs, vote in lockstep for more taxcuts for the rich and more profits for Halliburton. Unfortunately our congresslady is Melissa Bean, a Supposed Dem who has voted with the Repubs over and over again (CAFTA, the schiavo mess, the bankruptcy bill, the flag amendment) so it's not really much choice here.

I paste them on the refrigerator to help with my diet. Makes you lose your appetite real fast.

17. I don't get much - sometimes I just toss it
if it's a good piece, (layout, artwork, etc.) sometimes I hold on to it only as a curiosity type of thing - I'll probably purge my box of "clippings" and political stuff, but sometimes I think - won't it be funny to look back in 20 years and see the things they were campaigning on....

18. Well, to be fair,
a lot of people here in Texas do cross over if they don't have a lot of choice on the D side and I don't see anything wrong with that.

But good for you for voting in the D primary! I hope you are planning to attend your precinct convention afterwards too!
