Actually, I was thinking in nautical terms. I seem to have a memory of LT(jg) Kerry doing a 180 in a Swift by doing all back full on one engine and full speed ahead on the other to turn the boat on a dime....

Of course, that could be a faulty memory. A lot of that going around lately.

I think our Navy friends would say " come about 108" or some such.

Something like that. That's why the Marines let the Navy drive, they know all that lingo, we're just along for the ride.

People,

How about this:

KERRY, RELEASE YOUR RECORDS

ALL OF THEM

Just a suggestion. I would follow up with:

WHAT ARE YOU HIDING!

Not sure the best wording, but def need to have something about releasing his records ..... most non-military people will have no idea what a 180 is, just a thought. Need something K.I.S.S. that really stands out.

Y'all are wearing me out on this whole,"non military people dont understand form 180" thing.

Come on people. If your automechanic tells you that your car needs a new h2o pump and you dont know that he is refering to a water pump what will you do? Will you just keep driving your car or will you ask him what h2o means?

WHat is making you the most angry about the media right now?

It should be that they are not asking questions? They are making statements.

So we have to provoke the simple minded so called non military swing voters to ask a simple question.

What is a FORM 180?.....they ask, now that is progress

Form 180 is provoking if everyone is talking about it.

Simple Simple Simple Simple

Just look at how many posts have been posted in reference to this very topic.

People didnt have a clue about Afghanistan three years ago. But you would think that every american has a brother in law over there now. Why is that. Because we have been bombarded by it.

So dont let up. FORM 180 FORM 180 FORM 180 FORM 180

Forgivenjojo,

Exactly right. You want people to be curious and ask questions. Heck if you are picking in front of Fox news, you want reporters there to ask you questions. That is free publicity.

That is why I recommend the second original Option:

KERRY,

STANDARD FORM 180

Or something very much like it. I will leave the agitprop to others.
