In my very liberal neighborhood of Denver (Hilltop area) - a sign idea
There's a McCain/Palin sign across the street.. I'm SOO tempted not only to NOT steal the sign, but make a late-night addition to the McCain/Palin as in "RETARDS FOR..." only to get a bunch of surprises along a busy road.. Tell me why I should NOT do it... It's the only sign for about 3 blocks...

Ideas?

You wouldnt like it if someone did it to you? They probably payed for it like a lot of the Obama supporters. Not to mention its ILLEGAL!

7. Also when did it become the liberal thing to do
Using "retard" as a derogatory term? Its no better than using racist or sexist slang.

5. Don't steal it,
they'll just put up another one, and if you put RETARDS FOR.. it will be taken down quickly. If your neighborhood is liberal it doesn't matter much ;)

9. For your on gratification. Late at night. Maybe 1:00 or 2:00 am
walk over to the sign and take a leak on it. Every time you look at it you will know the secret. Every time a Re-Pubic-Rat looks at the sign the are really looking at genuine Democrat urine. :dem:

10. "retards" is hate speech toward the disabled
No different than the N- word

Pick some other term that really is an insult, not hate speech, if you must do this.

Not to mention the fact that the "retards" I know are all supporting Obama. You don't have to have a standard range IQ to know who is on your side. You just have to be unwise.

16. Note: the above message was first written using one sentence structure, edited to a simpler one,
Edited on Thu Oct-09-08 12:11 AM by Oak2004
but I forgot to change "unwise" to "wise".


Unwise people vote against their own interests, and wise people vote for them :)

Unfortunately I can't edit the post to fix it (too late).

12. Heads up Colorado!



States’ Purges of Voter Rolls Appear Illegal

By IAN URBINA
Published: October 8, 2008

The screening and trimming of voter registration lists in the six states — Colorado, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Nevada and North Carolina — could also result in problems at the polls on Election Day: people who have been removed from the rolls are likely to show up only to be challenged by political party officials or election workers, resulting in confusion, long lines and heated tempers.

14. Be careful!
I booby trapped my 2nd OBAMA sign. I hung it in a tree that hangs a bit over our driveway. If someone reaches for it they fall down an unseen hill about 4 feet!

Some one stole the first one. I also put up a sign that our son-in-law bought for us that says,
"BEWARE: Attack Democrat lives here"!


My "Christine Gregoire" sign is out there, too!

17. You don't need to vandalize somebody else's sign
Why not build your own big sign?
