I'm thinking of starting a PAC, who wants to join (STFU PAC)
Strategic Thinkers For Understanding....or shut the fuck up!

When a repiglican takes to the airwaves and starts spouting some nonsense about how forcing millionaires to pay taxes on their corporate jets is going to prevent them from creating jobs, STFU PAC will buy airtime to air ads that are blunt in nature. Bull Pucky, millionaires, billionaires, and corporations have more cash on hand thanks to insane tax cuts than they ever have had, but they refuse to create job one. This message brought to you from the (Grover Nordquist would you please) STFU! (PAC).

We will operate on very little overhead. All I need is a small refrigerator in the garage and money to keep it full of beer. The rest goes to vulger ads calling out these stinky asshole tools of the corporate elite on the behalf of people who ae sick of the bullshit.

I would help fund and fundraise for such a noble PAC. And I won't drink all the beer, just quite a bit of it.

3. but seriously, how funny would it be for smartasses to unite to put ads on tv (hopefully)
that called out bullshit. If the ads were crazy enough, they'd even get some free airplay on the tv news as "coverage" of a story.

Wouldnt you love to see this ad.
"John Bone-r is a drunk, lying, crybaby tool of the corporate elite. Plus, who's THAT color of orange. John Bone-r might be the antichrist or an alien" This message brought to you by citizens who wish he'd STFU

4. i think it's an awesome idea.
and what works better or is remembered more easily than humor -- especially snarky in your face stuff.

9. as long as you keep up on FEC filings, it could be done pretty easy
Colbert's PAC got me thinking about starting a Guerilla PAC. Play their game, incorporate their rules, then smash them over the head with it
