Freeper' Sore-Loserman Sign Makes Wash. Post. Article (My Title)
Announcement: Sore-Loserman FReep at Veep's D.C. Mansion This Thursday Night 11/16/00
We cannot do any commercial advertising on Free Republic, but I have received many inquires as to the availability of Sore/Loserman t-shirts, etc. I do not know anything about this website or the company behind it and have no interest, financial or otherwise in it, but here is a link to at least one site that make this merchandise available:
CafePress
Gracias!
This photo also appeared in today's Burlington (VT) Free Press
Jim, If by chance Gore is elected. I think we should organize a massive protest in Washington DC on 20 January 2001. (A March for Justice II)
Gore will NEVER serve one day as President of the United States of America.
Boy, that'll really scare Gore and his cronies!
We are not going to lose. The law and the count are on our side. Talk of Gore in the WH as President is now as likeley as Hell freezing over.
You don't think 100-500,000 people would send a chill down the spine of the Govt?
Email Groups, Media, Congress!
Click above an email Congress in bulk and the Media! EAGLES UP! Let's get on with it!
Ain't it great!!
"you say you want a revolution....."
Lots of Sore/Loserman signs at the Austin Bush Rally today! Anymouse and France4BushinAustin had them. Someone, not a Freeper that I know of, arrived with an armful and passed them out to eager Bushies. It was wonderful to see.
A photo showing people holding up the Sore-Loserman posters is on the front page of the early edition of the Atlanta-Journal Constitution.
Also appeared in today's Washington Times, Page A4.
Good afternoon!!!
Just returned from the DALLAS, TEXAS RALLY!!!
EXCELLENT.
Sore/Loserman was a hit. A FREEPER generously prepared stacks and stacks of high-quality Sore/Loserman signs to be shared with rally attendees.
THANK YOU to the person that brought the signs.
Many tourists and passerbys stopped to join us. A couple from Ohio were delighted they got to participate. It was great. Thank you!!!!
Finally, Mr. Robinson, THANK YOU SIR for having the vision to bring about FreeRepublic.com so that we may join together in one voice. BLESSINGS to you and yours.
Sore/Loserman 2000 buttons are also showing up at auction on eBay...the following link is for one of the auctions...
They're everywhere....LOL
Part of proceeds go to Free Republic Legal Defense Fund.
Maybe somebody could make sure a Sore Loserman bmper sticker/sign gets e-mailed to Saturday Night Live (:^)~
HERE'S one showing up in Florida
Carrying signs, no.
Expect to see them in the Philly area also. I made a bunch of them last night for the Philly Rally. Congressman Weldon, asked me to make as many as I could. We ran out within minutes!!!!!!
After the rally, we went back to the shop to make more.
Buttons, t-shirts, yard signs...they're everywhere!
And I thought it would be the phrase :"Bridge to the 21st century" that would sweep the country
What in the hell have you done now? Brilliant, actually. I suspect we are going to be seeing you on television so get a new suit, a haircut, a bodyguard and life insurance.
Your signs are HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All 4 stations- ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX were at the Philly rally today. They loved them!!!!!! Everyone was asking for them- And Dom Giordano is going to be posting them on his website!!!!
C'mon fess up. This was your wifes idea, wasn't it?
Will you still remember us when you get to the top! Thanks for your brilliant contribution to take back America.
Let's not forget freeper CPL BAUM, he came up with a version of this too!
Sore / Loserman also shows up on the BBC's election in pictures page.
I was at the biggest of the pro-life rallies in Washington, maybe the biggest rally ever in the capital. There were about 500,000 people according to credible estimates. I saw myself that the whole stadium parking lot (I think the Redskins) was full of out-of-town buses. Speakers included Cardinal O'Connor.
In the major press the next day they ran one short article on a back page, giving the attendance as 50,000, and showing no pictures. They did show a picture of about ten pro-aborts at a counter-protest.
So, will large, silent crowds impress them? No.
JimRob I would recommend saving this image on your server somewhere. Yahoo News Photos has a history of deleting photos after a month or two.
I doubt the rally would be silent.
BTT. Way ta go, Registered.
I saw that!! I was proud as pound to be a Freeper!
I was wondering if any enterprising Freeper out there knew of a timely way to help me market an election novelty I came up with that I have on ebay right now.
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=501673071
If someone would be interested in such a venture, email me. DL1@thegrid.net Steven
Is it possible for freepers to put a link to Cafe Press on national chat sites, and possibly have news site such as Newsmax link it without interfering with commercial advertising restrictions? Would Free Republic really get some of the proceeds?
"Sore/Loserman 2000 Sweeping the Nation"
It's probably the only job they're qualified for.
Getting some ink as well...(midway through this San Francisco Examiner AP input...)
"Sore/Loserman" is sweeping the nation....
Just got back from the Dallas demonstration. A nice woman from Oklahoma came down to Dallas with a bunch of Sore Loserman signs. They worked well. The dems could not believe that we had them and the passerbys loved them.
I just saw a story on Fox that reported, there was a sign that read, "Kiss My Dimpled Chad." I love it!!
It's kind of odd to think about it, but every significant event in history has a single image that represents it. Do you think the history books might include a picture similar to this?
Congratulations to Jim Robinson and Registered!
You guys are famous!
And check this out:
I just emailed this off to Members of Congress.
Jim Robinson and Registered are .... Front Page News Here
Jim Robinson and Registered are .... Front Page News Here
Everybody I show it to laughs.
TEE Shirts, Coffee mugs, Mouse pads! Excellant! I'm digging my charge card out right now!
"Sore/Loserman 2000 Sweeping the Nation"
It's probably the only job they're qualified for.
Now THAT is FUNNY!!
Gore will NEVER serve one day as President of the United States of America.
YOU inspire confidence.
I know it was a Freeper wot invented that. Do you know which one???
FYI - downloaded and printed from FR Wed, I think. Have printed maybe 75 for people in my office and to give to their friends. One guy came in with a print of the Washington Post page from yesterday before even it was posted to FR!!! everybody loves it!!!
I seem to recall Registered inventing Sore/Loserman!
BTW it was a favorite at the Kansas City Rally today!
It was Registered.
Truely a stroke of brilliance. An absolutely perfect slogan. You deserve lots of success.
Can't wait to get my shirts and mugs :-)
But I have a question. When you follow this link to cafepress from the top of this page, you can see the product selection. But if you go to the main cafepress page, and go to the soreloserman products page, you see different products, and higher prices.
Do you get a part of the proceeds from both pages?
"I'm digging my charge card out right now!"
Dug mine out and can't wait to receive my t-shirt!!
The copy I have has this mysterious e-mail addy:
registered@aol.com

Fla., Saturday, Nov. 18, 2000. The manual counting of votes cast in the national election continues inside
the center. (AP Photo/Victor Caivano)
Now you folks be sure and play well with others now. :-P
I have no interest in the website or the company and I do not know any details. The post above is the first I heard that part of the proceeds would come to us. No one has ever contacted me about this. I am only aware of its existance, because someone posted a link to it a couple days ago.
Reg, you ROCK!
Sore/Loserman 2000 just on Fox.
Mr. Robinson, your vision is making a difference. You have given us a forum and allowed conservatives to organize.
God Bless you sir, it's an honor to call myself a FReeper.
Registered, you are DA MAN!!!!
OK, thanks. Still confused by the different prices though; it's a mystery...
"Finally, Mr. Robinson, THANK YOU SIR for having the vision to bring about FreeRepublic.com so that we may join together in one voice. BLESSINGS to you and yours"......YES INDEED THANK YOU AND BLESS YOU! YOUR LEGACY IS FOREVER WRITTEN!
West Virginia's electoral votes go to BUSH, and that is the intent of the voters!
....NO MORE CLINTON GORE
TREASON IS EVEN MORE THE REASON
Fellow
Freepers,
With
Mr. Robinson’s kind permission I extend this offer to you. Notify me by Freepmail, and I will send you
a clear decal with the Sore Loserman graphic.
It notes that it is the work of Registered.
These
are static cling decals. They will
stick to the insides of car windows and lots of other places. I will gladly send you one free of
charge. I consider it my patriotic
duty.
On
my honor (as a Girl Scout!), I will not share any mailing information with
anyone. Period. I will also send some to Mr. Robinson, who
can add them to the items in the Free Republic store.
I
have been wearing my Free Republic jacket everywhere. It is great for this time of year (hint, hint!).
Hi Jim, I handed out over 200 Sore/Loserman flyers today in front of the White House with the D.C. Freepers.
They were very well received.
Jim--Thanks so much for this website--your brainshild has kept me sane in these insane days--I even registered last month to become a monthly contributor--I hope your family is well--this website may indeed help to change public sentiment in these troubled times--I hope you're ready for it to expand--God bless.
"I know it was a Freeper wot invented that. Do you know which one???"
No. Who was it? I did a search on "Sore Loserman" and posted all the threads above. Looks like there was several FReepers involved. Congratulations to all!
GO MOUNTIES!!!
Buying Sore Loserman T-shirts as X-mas gifts for Democratic husband and in laws.
Thanks. It's driven me insane, but it was well worth it. Regards,
Purchased and hopefully will have it for Wed!!
Doubled my order so I could give some to friends too!
Its important that you look at reply #57!!!! From Porch Swing....
When Registered put that on the first day I showed it to my mom and she laughed. When she saw it on TV today she was floored.
First and foremost, thank you for this forum and thank God for FreeRepublic. I am glad I found this site, there is more information in the threads found here than newspaper and television combined. Great laughs too.
I have bee driving around greater Orlando with two 8 1/2 by 11 inch "Sore Looserman" signs in the back window of my car. It never fails that when I am stopped at a light, the people behind me either have a good laugh or look really P'od. Mnay thumbs up and a few middle fingers. I don't care I just smile and either wave or give them the big "W".
Thanks again.
I saw what looked to be a big Gore/Lieberman sign in a yard in Wheaton, IL, today. It actually read something like
"Desperate men doing
Despicable acts
...to destroy our country",
or words to that effect.
The Sore-Loserman signs were described in a CBS radio national news broadcast this afternoon (Pacific Time)...used in a protest outside the VEEP's home. CONGRATS all around!
FR gets part of the proceeds from the page I directed you to. Hence the slightly higher prices.
I will find a way to get there.
No. Who was it? I did a search on "Sore Loserman" and posted all the threads above. Looks like there was several FReepers involved. Congratulations to all!
They tell me the original creator of the Sore Loserman concept is our very own Registered, the Jewel of Free Republic.
However, the leg work and publicity belongs to many dozens of unsung Freepers -- our 'infantry' -- and you are very right to extend congratulations to them as well. I've always been of the opinion that the Generals get the medals, but it is the Foot Soldier that wins the war. Congrats to all!
I think you may change the future of this country (for the better, of course). How does that feel? You are AWESOME! Thanks.
Thanks. It's driven me insane, but it was well worth it.
Jim, you mean you weren't insane like the rest of us before this?
May God Bless you, your talented son John, and all your family this Thanksgiving.
For all of us, you and your family are one of our greatest blessings.
OK, that's the ones I ordered. We need to make sure people go to that page, not the one linked at the top of this thread. Great work !
Hope you had a lot of those made up, got a cup, and am sure it will go over HUGE in my military office. Gotta love capitalism!
CPL BAUM came up with the slogan originally and Registered, gifted artist that he is, made the version everyone is downloading and copying. CPL BAUM and his two children were outside the White House today protesting with the DC Chapter. We had over 60 people at the White House today. SORE LOSERMAN 2000 and THE PALM BEACH POKEY were big hits with everyone.
Thank-you REGISTERED!
When the SORE LOSERMAN appeared on my front page paper it gave great creedance and dignity to all the hours I speand on FR!!!
I will never be told to get off the computer again!!!For this, and- that your truthful idea is a HIT nationwide I love and pray for you!!!MAy God Bless you and your talents!!!
And Mr. Jim Robonson-YOU ROCK!!! you are the Paul Revere!!!
Angelwood corrected me: Registered was the artist and CPL BAUM was the originator of the slogan. MassExodus added the final touch of the teardrop.
Good work!
My spelling lessons money ran out ;-)
The sign was all over the Bush Rally today in Los Angeles. I'm exhausted ... I can't remember when I've stood in the sun that long. But we outnumbered the Gorons by a huge amount.
Ya made the local news here in Raleigh, NC.
About 40-50 of us marched outside the NC GOP headquarters on Hillsborough street today and quite a few had the Sore/Loserman signs. WNCN, the NBC affiliate picked it up and had the sign on the 6 o'clock news. As soon as it's posted on their web site, I'll link to it.
BTW, we were supposed to be a counterprotest to the libs4Gore. But there was wedding going on at their planned site, so they went home, snif snif.
We moved down the street a few blocks and caught all the local media. Freepers Rule!!
From Ellen Sauerbrey camp: -------------------- IT IS TIME TO BE HEARD! TIRED OF WATCHING AN ELECTION BEING STOLEN? ? Americans are outraged that Al Gore wants to count dimpled ballots but deny our U.S. military troops their right to vote!! JOIN THE MARYLAND TROOPS THAT ARE TURNING OUT TOMORROW TO SEND A MESSAGE TO AL GORE ELECTION PROTEST RALLY When: Sunday November 19 th Where: Vice President Gore's Home Naval Observatory Directions: Take 95 South to 495 West (Northern Val) Take South on Wisconsin Ave, Left on Massachusetts. Go four blocks and the VP Residence is on the right. Time: 2:00PM Just recieved this e-mail From Mayland Bush Supporter: Let's get off our duff and have our voices heard! Come meet us at VP Gore's home @ 2:00pm Sunday. Bring signs - ESPECIALLY TO SUPPORT OUR MILITARY'S RIGHT TO VOTE- and as many family members as possible. We need a great showing of Bush supporters. Please do not ignore this! Let's get active. The time is now! Here is how you can make a difference! Robin Kriete Organizer- Cell phone (410) 409-2532
In Dallas, we had people off the street, during our anti-Gore protest, ask us where they could get a copy of 'Sore-Loserman'. We had made a bunch of copies and we gave them one with the stipulation that they carry it up high as they walk off with it. What a hoot!!
We also had Gore people give us a thumbs up thinking that we were holding a 'Gore-Lieberman' sign. Only to frown at us when they realized they'd been snookered. We about busted a gut on that one.
HERE is CPL BAUM's note about inventing the Sore Loserman logo, the teardrop by MASS EXODUS and the refinement by Registered
I've already thought about that. I will certainly be at any 1/20/00 Sore Loserman inauguration.
THANKS! I just e-mailed the Yahoo! photo on to several friends (and to myself) to help BUMP IT TO THE TOP!!!
Sore/Loserman really don't even have as much decency as Richard Nixon!!!
Great job! Congratulations, looks like you've got a hit!
I was one who was involved with at least one incarnation of the development of the Sore/Loserman 2000 graphic. It was kind of a group project in a thread last Monday.
My version (without the teardrop) is also available as a T-shirt, sweatshirt, coffee mug, mouse pad, etc. at CafePress/Resistance
whoever had the ingenuity for this is brilliant! kudos!
I made 1 poster size "Sore Loserman" for myself to attend the Portland Oregon Rally. It went over real big there, but wwhat went over even better were the 50 5"X 8" signs I printed out, glued to light cardboard and stapled to "tongue depressers".
Small and easy for for little kids, easy to stick on dog collars, strollers, hats, or jacket pockets, etc.
People loved em, I could have given away 50 more easily.
AND IN TEXAS......

We must lead the way! The sheep will follow. Heck, we may see some Rats switch parties over this!
Regarding my post #11. It WAS a FReeper, RKM, who came to the rescue with an armload of Sore/Loserman signs. Bless his/her heart.
Does it get any better than this??
That tall patriot is our very own France4Bushin Austin. Met him at the rally.
Correction, he is FranceforBushinAustin.
There's a few versions running around that were created Monday as part of a quick group project. I've seen MASSExodus' and Registered's version in all the news photo's. This is the first time I saw my version in an AP news photo.
The photo at the top of the thread shows MASSExodus's version. Other pics I've seen show Registered's version. All were created within an hour or so of each other, so the multiple versions running around is understandable. I also sent mine out to a large mail list.
Way to go guys! The idea is definitely catching on. Maybe we should start putting these up as signs just like the Bush/Cheney signs before the election. More people would see them and the idea would catch on even stronger.
There was lots of media on hand for the rally at the Federal Building in Los Angeles...and a ton of Freepers too!!!
Yes! For the first two hours, the Bush folks (Freepers most) outnumbered the Gore people by over 4 to 1. We lined nearly an entire block and held three of four corners at the main intersection.
No doubt the main Gore organizer had to get on her cell phone and call out for support. But even when their "reinforcements" showed up we still had them outnumbered 2 to 1.
(I heard one Gore supporter say they would have to count themselves twice for their press release).
The cars driving by were as expected. The people supporting Gore flipped us the bird. The people who support Bush were hanging out the windows, honking their hornes and giving us a big thumbs up - or the three fingers to make a W.
And those Bush supporters driving by. I think they appreciated seeing us all there. Some must have been thinking, its about time I saw someone protesting that I agree with.
It was really quite a showing. Go FR. Go Bush!
I love it! Could it be reincarnation, coming from ze horses mouth?
Whoooo!!!.... Hoooooo!!!, you will have to excuse me, this is the first time I have seen the "sore/loserman" stuff...
Here's the URL to the original thread on Monday morning where we put this thing together. For some reason the thread has been deleted:
http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a3a100c8250f3.htm.
I think if you resurrect that thread (if it is possible) you will see how this thing came about. CPL Baum posted a tiny version of this on a white background. I quickly came back with a 640x480 jpg of it on a blue background. Simultaenously MASSExodus was working on one with a teardrop and Registered took it from there.
bttt
This is GREAT! Everyone behind me at stoplights point at it, and I can see them
laughing their ass off in my rearview mirror
If Gore wins this election, he will rue the day his sorry little Prince Albert ass was born!
FIGHT TO THE FINISH FREEPERS!
Instead of a fund drive, every once in a while how about sending Jim a check to help keep Free Republic ROCKING!! (sent mine last week).....freedom is NOT FREE!!
Here, you'll like this one too!
Ok, thanks. Good work!
NO!!!!!!!!!! I AM ORDERING FOUR!!!!!!!!!!! That little girl is ADORABLE!!!!!!!
Everyone behind me starts pointing at my bumper and
laughing their ass off. This is great..it is
the hit of every Wal-Mart Parking Lot in Flora, Illinois!
Jim Rob...
You remain our hero... a true patriot are you!
Salute!
HELP !! Please repost the PDF #4 for Sore LoserMan. The current links do not work for page #4 of either version
I want to extend my thanks to Jim Robinson, and his son for giving me faith in the last 1-1/2 years. I lurked for awhile and then joined. My heart has been broken, unbroken time and time again...but in the times of most despair, I have come here to regain the spirit of our country. And it has worked EVERY TIME...
I have learned on this site how to pray again. I have learned that whining and complaining does NOTHING. I have learned that what I think DOES MATTER...and that we ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE. We are being heard. Loud and clear, all through America.
To all of you, thank you for giving me back my backbone and integrity and spirit. I am a different person than I was 2 years ago, and I owe it all to my fellow FReepers...I love you all, and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
And while we are thinking of Thanksgiving, we will be able to say a special blessing: "Thank you, dear Lord, for giving us President George W. Bush, Amen."
THAT'S FUNNY!!!
Congratulations to all of you. It must be very gratifying to see your creation(s) spread across the country (and world).
Also, thanks to Jim & John Robinson for providing the catalyst that's brought untold numbers of like minded folks together and allowed their creativity to be displayed in its many forms. I consider it an honor to be associated with the talent here.
Everyone behind me starts pointing at my bumper and laughing their ass off. This is great..it is the hit of every Wal-Mart Parking Lot in Flora, Illinois!
I need one of those. I drive the beltway around D.C. everyday - of course, I'd probably get run off the road (LOL!!!)
THIS JUST IN!!!
Sore/Loserman shirt
Registered clearly visible
The next batch WILL SAY FreeRepublic.com!!!!!!
Is this what you are looking for: http://burgesses.com/gore40.pdf
I am not a Sore Loserman!
Really good looking, sure would be cool to have golf bag (crying) towels, too!
I want one autographed! Tell me where to send the money!
reg......thanks for helping improve my morale 10,000%
and kudos to Jim R. for creating something so big it is downright.......
and thanks to whoever wrote this: But we outnumbered the Gorons by a huge amount.
You're a genius. Thanks and a big bump!
Angelwood corrected me: Registered was the artist and CPL BAUM was the originator of the slogan. MassExodus added the final touch of the teardrop.
Good work!
And I know that if it was technologically possible to animate protest signs, Laz would done it < g >
Congrats to all involved :)))
Bravo!
So would you object if we made these "Voting for Dummys" book covers into T-shirts?
Send me a private email in the post office. Click on my name.
WELL SAID!
I was just watching CNN (waiting for the Capital Gang Food Fight Rebroadcast...which is late...they better not cancel it) and a Dim shill started whining about Sore Loserman 2000! ROTFLOL!
they better not cancel it
Well Capital Gang didn't show up at 7:30 PST on my DirecTV so I think they did cancel it.

Sore/Loserman signs were in abundance in our Kansas City Rally today. We outnumbered the libs by about 20 to 1 here.
I made several signs, each with Bush Country at the top and Sore/Loser at bottom with various slogans in center. Gave several away to non freepers who loved them.
Also have both in the back window of my truck and have noticed numerous people behind me lately suddenly overcome with hysterical laughter--
KUDOS AND THANKS TO YOU!!!
back uttt
When you get the shirts, etc, ready that include FreeRepublic.com on them, please start a new thread and post the place we can get them, whether JimRob & FR get a cut, etc... Thanks.
Finally, Mr. Robinson, THANK YOU SIR for having the vision to bring about FreeRepublic.com so that we may join together in one voice. BLESSINGS to you and yours.

A resounding echo from this quarter!
I'm there!! Just say when!
This is truly inspiring; a heartfelt thanks to all who were instrumental in making this happen.
I cannot remember the source, but I recall a quote that goes something like:
"In every revolution, there is one man with a vision..." Well, sometimes it's more than one... but the vision was certainly there.
Let the election raiders see these peaceful protests now; some of them may see it for what it truly is: a foreshadowing of what will come later if they continue on that path.
If anyone knows of websites, particularly message boards, where active-duty military types regularly visit, please post a link to the Sore/Loserman image. I did, much to the delight of an officer in the U.S. Navy stationed on Guam! It is very gratifying to be thanked by someone in uniform; especially when it is *they* who deserve the thanks. In any regard, it might be fun to see a big "Sore/Loserman" banner being held by a bunch of grinning sailors aboard a warship. What a message that would send. Think the captain would allow it?

A photo from Friday Night at the Seminole County Supervisor of Election Office in Sanford, Florida. We had heard there was a pro-Gore protest put together by the AFL-CIO. When we arrived the protesters were all gone. Apparently the union goons slithered back under their rocks.
Anyway we did get to display our hastily printed Sore Loserman signs, and even passed out a few extras to some nice Republicans that were there.

I am pissed folks. So this is going around the net.
If you print the large Sore/loserman---if YOU USE THE BLUE BACKROUND IT WILL COST ABOUT 2 REFILLS ON INK JET,---use the white backround and save 40 dollars BEEN THERE DONE THAT HEHE NOT TO OLD TO LEARN---WHAT WAS THAT!!
The poster made the front page of the Florida Times Union in Jacksonville.
And, Sore-Loserman appeared on the front page of the editorial section of the Sunday Atlanta Juoral-Constitution. I only wish the man holding the sign had been the one, the only, JimRob.
FReeepers should mention, through channels of course, that special invitations to the Bush Inaugural Ball should be tendered to two fine Americans who gave their all to set the record straight, get the story out, and help justice prevail -- Jim Robinson and his patient wife, who has let him share so much of himself with us. If they are there for that event, then all of us are there, also.
Eagles Up!
The (More er Less) Honorable Billybob,
cyberCongressman from Western Carolina
I can't remember when I've stood in the sun that long.
The sun? What is that? < she asked, shivering, in the northern land >
Thank you for standing up for your / my / our country!
Congrats to all the Freepers involved with the slogan and signs!

I am not a sore Loser
I was carrying a huge "Sore Loserman" sign at the Austin freep for President-elect Bush on Saturday (11AM to 6PM) and Sunday 11AM to 1:30PM.) Numerous networks and photographers focused on the sign, which thanks to Registered had a freerepublic.com tag on if the the World to see.
Many people inquired about where to get the "Sore Loserman" graphic and I told them to go to freerepublic.com and download it.
The sign got a thumbs up, honk and smile from just about everyone who saw it. It even got a few reporters to loosen up and interview me (plugged Free Republic every chance I got.)
Don't let the press lie, there were thousands of Pro-Bush supporters encircling the Texas Governor's Mansion block for 5 hours in the cold rain. Impromptu Bush supporters were also circling the block in cars throughout the day.
The ~50 liberals showed up late at 2PM and were gone by 3PM. They were so out-numbered, out-shouted and out-classed they barely got a photo-opt before skedaddling for the darker parts of Austin.
Can anyone give some simple, brain-dead directions on how to take an image like this and get it blown up to make into a placard?
Outline it in Illustrator and get it blown up as big as a house.
Can you spell "vector?"
Where can one acquire the Sore Loserman bumper sticker?? Thanks!
HEY an idea also for Christmas.. why not package confetti and label it as chad.. something or another.. a gag gift!!
What brilliance! Sore/Loserman is just perfect for these times. But, what about bumper stickers? Any idea where I can get some?
Sorry, I'm not with you. Can I just put the .jpg or .bmp on a floppy and take it to Kinko's and ask them to blow it up and mount it on cardboard?
Jim, I don't want to get too mushy, but I know of no other entity that has been as influential on the turn of events in our nation as FR. I hope you realize the role you have played in energizing conservatives, confounding liberals, and moving God's hands while evil is stymied.
You have every right to be proud of the impact you have made through your efforts. It is awesome to contemplate how bad things might have gone for us the last eight years had it not been for FreeRepublic. THank you, kind sir.
They get distorted. But if you want I can transfer it to illustrator file by about monday 1-2PM.
That way anyone can blow them up to any size they want without any distortion.
They have copy of illustrator at Kinkos, just tell them what size you want and they will resize it for you, if you don't know the app.
Thanks. Please do post a link to the Illustrator file, if you get a chance.
File #1 is Illustrator 6.0 file
File #2 is Illustrator 8.0 file
I can't get it download straight *.zip, would you know what code I need?
width = 15.8"
height= 8.6"
Hope it works well.
If you want it bigger just set up your document to new size and strech the file evenly.
Leave a 1/4 of an inch from the edge for printers default
I'm sure the people at KINKOs will know what to do
Hi b4!!! ((-:
I DO like this one!
Thanks for the flag on it! ……WONDERFUL pictures of protestors!
BTTT!
Contact Algore, he inveneted them..... ;-)

I got 25 Sore Loserman shirts made up on Friday afternoon and I wore one all day on Saturday at the Oarnge County Swap Meet. Tons of people came up to me and told me they loved the shirt. I sold some of them to people for my cost and I also gave out a lot of them for free. Thanks Registered!!!!
what makes you hallucinate that gore will not serve.? educated guess currently is 1) gore won. 2) the courts in power will make up laws if need be to ensure 1. so why are you break-dancing again??
I really don't know what to think???
I personally took Registered's sign, and printed four to a sheet of magnetic paper I picked up at the office supply place.
I have been giving them out to tons of people! They stick great to cars!
Are Bush Country shirts available anywhere?
Glad to see a fellow WV FReeper!
I had my Sore/Loserman sweatshire overnighted! I'm wearing it to work today. It's fabulous!
The energy in this long thread is amazing.......... the enthusiasm and jubiliation actually brought tears to me eyes; it is a tremendously uplifting read.
A quote:
"It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt." -- John Philpot Curran: Speech upon the Right of Election (1790)
For too long this quote has seemed to be true for many conservatives ..........
NOW HOWEVER ...... WE HAVE CAUGHT FIRE ......A ROARING FIRE IS BLAZING.......
Praise God.
Thanks for your quote, Countyline, and bear with me for yet another:
"If ever time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin."
-Samuel Adams
I was thinking the same thing. Make our voices heard if the cheater wins.
Flash, Have read a hundred posts, where can I buy a few dozen bumper stickers---its important to get them out on cars in New Hampshire, election was close. Please someone respond with buying info. THANKS SSTEAMER

Thanks. That's great news. My mailbox is full from people inquiring as to where they can get these signs. I'm referring them to this thread. Regards, Jim Robinson
I must chime in. I just watched network nightly news for the first time since this new graphic emerged and I saw a large crowd protesting, most of whom were holding up Sore /Loserman signs. It was great!

much as I'd like to agree with you, I don't think you realize just how corrupt and desperate the Dems are. They will stop at nothing to gain the WH. I hope your'e right, but I fear your'e wrong!
The 28th Annual March for Life is January 22. Hundreds of thousands have attended in 28 years and most news outlets never even cover them. We should join forces and have Patriots and Pro-Lifers (both synonymous in my mind)who love their posterity and want to stop judges from legislating. January 22, 2001

There are shirts that has a Bush Country logo combined with the Sore Loserman logo here if anyone is interested.
This photo was on the front page of the China Post in Taipei, Taiwan on Sunday, November 19.
Jim, I am a military member stationed near Washington D.C. Sorry, can't divulge more, but support among military for Bush is outstanding, even within minorities. I am outraged that Florida and the Dem's have decided to ignore the absentee ballots from our military overseas due to "technicalities". Seems like b-shit to me! Anyway, would like to know if you have a link to a .tif or high-res .jpg file in order to create a bumper sticker of the "Sore Loserman 2000" sign. I would like very much to get my hands on several of these to pass along to my fellow patriots. Thanks for all your help.
Go for it! It appears the "teardrop" and "freerepublic.com" was taken off most of the ones seen around the country. I left it on when I made mine. But I did take Registered's e-mail addy off.
Here is a T-Shirt expressing the Democrats Point of veiw if anyone is interested -- Gore Got More
Actually, Instead of having a massive rally in Washington on Inauguration day, it would be smarter to have one on the day the Electoral College meets: it will discourage Bush Electors from switching their votes, and would encourage Gore Electors to think twice about supporting the least popular president the U.S. has ever had. Besides - don't you think the Democrats aren't already planning their own demonstrations that day "On the Mall"?
Thanks! BTW, today's Des Moines Register has a nice color photo, credited to Charles Arbogast of AP, captioned
Opinion in Florida: Brenda Olthoff of Chicago, a supporter of George W. Bush, demonstrates in Palm Beach, Fla., Friday.The lovely Ms. Olthoff is holding a Sore/Loserman 2000 poster, with the caption "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH" in large red letters. Since it's an AP photo, I'm sure that it's spread worldwide. This is a wonderful thing to see; the greater the tide of ridicule and derision for Gore and Lieberman the better.
just a bump.

Loved your 'Voting for Dummies' graphic. How can I print a copy for a rally poster?
At the Phoenix Rally yesterday, MANY MANY people were asking where we got the Sore Loserman posters. Others admired the Gore Vote Democratic poster. They kept asking where the pics came from. We had to keep telling them FreeRepublic. Thanks for the pics!
don't you think the Democrats aren't already planning their own demonstrations that day "On the Mall"?
Electorial College Day having both sides their could get ugly, I foresee a mess!
I live in a heavily Jewish area in Los Angeles. Outside of a local supermarket I saw two old Hacidic Jewish men with the hats and the curls on the sideburns, sitting on a bench and looking at a newspaper with a picture of the "Sore Loserman" sign. They were speaking in yiddish and saying "sore loserman ha, ha, ha." Laughing quite hysterically. Apparently even some Jews find Gore and Lieberman to be crybabys.
REPORT FROM RALLY IN GRANTS PASS, OREGON
Today, about 30 people gathered on main street in front of the court house and 10 in front of the Post Office in protest of the DemoRats. Local news covered us and got a kick out of the Sore-Loserman signs which I printed off of FreeRepublic. They were the hit of the rally!
There's a big one now in the back window of my car ready to piss off all the Demorats. I meant to post pictures of the rally but in a hurry forgot my camera :(
Sore Loserman was inspirational. But the "drip" is shear genius. Awesome
My conservative friend and I at work would love these decals! Thanks!!!
I need an 8.5" x 11" image so I can print out some signs (I'm in the Dade & Broward County area of South Florida). I would prefer a GIF or JPG image. Thanks!

I noticed that Sore/Loserman is on the front page of the Washington Post. Did they get permission to do that or is that covered as fair use ? Can this be part of a counterlaw suit ?
Regarding post 115! How do I get a copy of the BUSH COUNTRY poster? Please advise.

Check out the Gore/Lieberman "Invasion of the Ballot Snatchers": shirt here: vote snatcher shirts
Here's some great humor: Invasion of the Ballot Snatchers

Angelwood corrected me: Registered was the artist and CPL BAUM was the originator of the slogan. MassExodus added the final touch of the teardrop.
I have seen a few websites selling Sore Loserman stuff and they are now popping up on eBay. Are all of these sites sanctioned by you three or what? I dont want to support a site or eBay seller who stole the idea! The three of you deserve all the credit and any money made from the idea!
I am involved in the www.cafepress.com/soreloserman website. A portion of the proceeds is being donated directly to the Free Republic Legal Defense Fund.
Do you know of the www.SoreLoserman.com website??
It has nothing to do with FR. They hijacked the concept ;-)
I really like this picture of algore. The camera doesn't lie! Keep up the GREAT work. Freep-on! http://members.fortunecity.com/pandrews/images/gorephoto.jpg

For those who are not familiar with your other work (such as the AWESOME Keyes posters), why not post a link so that they can see you are not just a one-trick pony?
Or, if you are to humble, someone else can do it, instead.
I noticed that Sore/Loserman is on the front page of the Washington Post. Did they get permission to do that or is that covered as fair use ? Can this be part of a counterlaw suit ?
Honestly, it's probably fair use. In any event, before you can enforce a copyright claim, it must be registered.
Get your own refill kit, much cheaper.
The Democratice Response....
I am very happy to see FR involved in this. "Sore/Loserman" was a stroke of genius that will be remembered a long time.
Hopefully Gore will fight this out to the bitter end, ending his political career in brutal and permanent fashion for the good of the world.
For any protest, you should send a press release a few days in advance of the protest to the AP Daybook editor. I sent out a release for the Students Against Sore Loser protest in front of the White House and due it being in the daybook, we had every major media outlet there in full force. It did help however, the Fla. Supreme Court had ruled 30 minutes prior, so we fell into the oodle-loop of breaking news. Here in DC the AP Daybook editors number is:: (202) 776-9400 and their fax is: (202) 736-9699. The daybook is a service the AP provides to alert news outlets as to what is going on that day. Your best best is to call your AP Bureau and get their fax number! Send the fax and follow up with a call to make sure they got it. They will post it in the daybook and walla -- you may have a huge press turnout.
I am desperately trying to find information on the "Bush Country" bumper stickers. I am very interesed in purchasing enough to pass out in my area. People need to see how many counties George W. Bush carried. And they need to see how FEW Gore carried. Please send me any information on ordering these bumper stickers. Thank you debmclove@aol.com

Hi Jim - I do the website for the Republican National Committee's donor groups and thought you'd like to know that I posted a link to FreeRepublic.com and where to go to download and print the large-format Sore Loserman posters on our sustaining members site. (folks who give $25 or more). We thought our members would be interested! (I've got one in my office window here in liberal Democrat Alexandria, Va.):-)
To check out the site, go to www.RNCFC.org and click on the link at the top for the sustaining members site (no password required for this one).
By the way, we're still raising money to cover the costs of RNC's participation in the apparently endless spate of recount related lawsuits, in particular the issue of the military vote.
Click on the banner or here to find out more.
With news reports suggesting that more than 400 convicted felons were not purged from the voter rolls in Palm Beach and voted, it strikes me as the ultimate injustice that, if you carry a gun in defense of your country, the Democrats don't want you to vote, but if you carry a gun to the 7-11, then that's just fine. As Margaret Thatcher once said, "It's a funny old world....."
All the best,

How do I get the all blue "Sore Loserman" T-shirts? I can't find them at Cafe Press.
The website www.bushcountry.org actually gives away free Bush Country Bumper Stickers. They ask for a nominal charge in order to cut down on their postage and web site cost. You can buy in bulk too at very reasonable prices. You can tell they are not interested in making a buck, but in getting the word out. Good luck!
Looking for a postscript version of the Sore Loserman sign? Here you go, black and white and in color.

I am a 'collector buff' on old items, any type of item and may I suggest that All get a couple of these and put them in your attic for you kids, they will be worth something one of these days. To me however, they are worth a million dollars now. Couldn't make a better statement.
I want to thank Jim for the forum and Registered for the graphics.
I attended a local Republican function this evening and had printed a number of Registered's beautiful graphics on labels.
I was the hit of the party.
I'm so happy I didn't just do them for the 3 of us that were attending together. I ran out of them with in 15 minutes - I didn't print enough!!!!
On one hand I am disturbed that no one knew where they were coming from - but I'm real happy that I let a lot of folks know about FreeRepublic.com.
I want everyone to know about FR - and I'm really disappointed that I am the only one from Delaware - I'm trying to get others to be here!!!!!
Thank you! Regards, Jim Robinson
Great post! Is that map available in a bumper sticker? Or in some other format? Lemme know and thanks, Don
Thanks for the offer. And I would LOVE to have one of those decals! With Appreciation, Bruce Donovan 1900 Oakdale rd apt 79 Modesto, CA 95355
