Discordianism is a relatively popular parody religion. It's something I had gotten into in college, and have resurrected from time to time fnord since.
It occurred to me that there might be some amusing, mildly entertaining ways to spend a little time in the last two weeks of this election.
Can red state and rural supporters of Obama get out there and visibly help their candidate without their cars getting keyed in the Safeway parking lot? With a little inspiration from the Goddess of Discord herself, I think we can.
Bush's approval ratings continue to break records. The Obama strategy of showing McCain to be Bush 2.0 has gone up against McCain's self-proclamation of Maverickiness and won. McCain's attempts to run from, rather than on, his record have become increasingly desperate.
Still, the neo-cons represented by the radicalized right-wing journals, television punditry, and talk radio cannot divorce themselves entirely from the Bush record. To do so would mean owning up to the lies and the cronyism that lead to disasters like Iraq, the Katrina meltdown, and the economic crisis.
Discordians should embrace Bush, and in doing so announce their unwavering support for McCain.
George Bush turned this country around! Vote McCain!
The Bush Revolution isn't Over! McCain 08!
Permanent Republican Majority! Wall Street and Main Street United for Republicans!
Of course, maybe it's possible to go over the top too much:
Blackwater and the military create jobs too! McCain/Palin '08!
Family values voters decide elections! 2000! 2004! 2008!
Well, you get the idea. The more subtle it is, the more entertaining (imho), and the more it might sway people to see that 2 + 2 = 4, and that McCain/Palin = Bush/Cheney = more of the same. I'd enjoy seeing fnord your ideas for injecting a little humor and chaos into the mix...
