Also-Ran in Diddlys: Does It Get Any Worse? (CA eGray news)
LATimes.com ^ | 9/9/02 | Patt Morrison

Taking bids: Challenger Bill Simon Jr.'s campaign, playing off his "pay-to-play" and "coin-operated-governor" gibes at Gov. Gray Davis' fund-raising, has launched "EGray," a sendup of the Internet auction site EBay, portraying Davis as seeking donations in exchange for "favorable government action."

This is a small part of a column of political tidbits by Patt Morrison. The best part of the print article on page B-2 in this morning's edition of the LATimes was the FULL COLOR, 3 column wide picture of the www.eGray.org site!

Hoo-Ha! More free advertising. And from The Los Angeles Times, no less!

Excellent!
Too bad that they BURIED the eGray info at the END of her trivial column.
And, why no picture in the ONLINE Slimes? ;o)

This will be one of the most powerful political tools ever employed, IMHO.

statewide "Super SIMON" street theater puts Davis-in-a-Dumpster, NEW logo ^

In my PREVIOUS thread, I promoted the concept of "DumpDAVIS" street theater FReeps.

I am now proposing that we modify this concept to form a "Minuteman-style" MOBILE STRIKE FORCE that we can deploy on a moment’s notice – as soon as we find out where Gray Davis will be.

The heart of these mini-FReeps will be the "eGray Davis" prostitute costume, which can be worn by ANY (preferably male) FReeper. Everything else is secondary, IMHO. Nice to have, but not vital.


WILL WORK
FOR...
Bribe$!

Our message is:

"Gray Davis is for sale to the highest bidder – so you cannot TRUST him."
As we learned from the anti-Bush/Simon rally in Los Angeles last month, ONE good powerful visual image may be all that is necessary to break through the media clutter. The RAT opposition may be able to out-NUMBER us, but we can out-THINK them...

Simon is getting it from all the BaY Area TV stations in the news reports. I appreciate how he is being a man and taking all the crap from these low-browed idiots who couldn;t tell a news story from a manhole cover if ya dropped one on their head.

Simon may have made errors of judgment, but he and the voters of California deserve better then what they are seeing.

The leftists in the media are ruthless and just out and out bastards. All the RINOs comments in here and their actions in general don't help either.
DUMP DAVI$ & the Den of Socialists



GO SIMON

See? If Davis becomes THE issue and all this internal nit-picking that really means nothing stays out of the lime light... We just might make it after all!!!

Nothing is more deadly to a candidate, especially an incombunt, than RIDICULE!!! It can cause instant candidacy death syndrome... overnight!!! Humor can work miracles!!! (especially the kind that cuts to the CORE of a creep)

Hay! Davis needs a humor injection!!! After all he's the butt of a very sad four year series of jokes!!!

Freep him with humor like Freepers used to do Billybentjobber in the formerly desecrated whitehouse! That's Feepin fer fun an PROFIT! So much better than all the weepin an wailin and gnashing of teeth I been seein an hearin 'round these parts!!!

In the print edition, the eGray info was right below the large picture of the website! Sorry the rest of the state can't see it on the web.
