For sign pilferer, politicians aren't only ones falling flat on their face

A Lakewood Republican stealing campaign signs late one night got nabbed when he ran across a low- hanging driveway chain, fell face first onto a pilfered sign and the concrete and knocked himself unconscious.

Randal Wagner, 50, was loaded into an ambulance, treated at Lutheran Medical Center for abrasions and facial cuts and issued a summons.

Wagner, who unsuccessfully tried to steal a "Dave Thomas" congressional sign that evening, had signs for other Democratic candidates in his Toyota pickup, Wheat Ridge police reported.

"I did a very stupid thing," Wagner said Monday, admitting theft of the signs. "I got caught up in the political passions of this highly contested election."

Gonna knock you right in the head.
You better get yourself together

5. 50 years old, huh?

Oh, brother.

17. Who says republicans are mature

Just because the man is 50 being a republican should tell you how advanced his thinking is. How stealing a campaign sign is going to influence the outcome of an election I'll never know.

6. God punished him

Either that, or the guy or gal who owns the house had it booby-trapped so that any attempt at sign theft would have immediate and severely adverse consequence. Either way, he sure as hell got his! :bounce:

What part of "Thou shalt not steal" doesn't he understand?

[XanaDUer]

7. Watch him sue the liberals

for tempting him with a political sign. :eyes:

9. Is the concrete okay?

I wonder if it hurt. It sounds real painful.

As far as the doing "a very stupid thing," that's only to be expected from Republicans.

[Tesibria]

10. isn't that O'Reilly's excuse?

..."I'm just a stupid guy" ...?

i'm sensing a trend here

[Sugarbleus]

11. LOL-->"i'm sensing a trend here"

That's the TRUTH. If a dem/liberal screws up, it's the end of the world, the most heinous thing that could ever be concieved...but when a repug get's caught fucking up it's "A stupid mistake"....

LIBERAL AND PROUD OF IT!!

[librechik]

12. some things are reality based, some things are even more concrete

and I say to sign pilferers

MORE CONCRETE!!!!

13. Wanna bet

that this guy hires a trial lawyer and sues the homeowner for having a dangerous chain across his driveway and luring him into the yard with a politically inflammatory sign.

[Wolfman 11]

14. According to Rush Limbaugh.....

.....this is clearly Clinton's fault for regulating chain manufacturers in the 1990's, causing their links to remain firmly interlocked when Good, Honest, Hard-working, God-fearing Oppressed White Males try to peacefully bolt through them while accidentally trespassing and mistakenly picking up Liberal Propaganda.

16. It's a shame

Really, it IS a shame that he wasn't killed or brain damaged. He'll be up to his old tricks at the next campaign.

[realcountrymusic]

18. Too bad

he wasn't killed. One less vote for Shrub.

I hope the homeowner presses trespassing charges.

Slime. Human shit.

22. This should go to Olbermann!

LOL!

23. Hey Mr. Wagner, try thinking it through BEFORE you do it

not after you get caught! Weenie.

[captain disgruntled]

25. Say, any chance this might

be a felony, and that he'd therefore be banned from voting????

Damn, no, Colorado.
Been working out of the local DemCom office, and the reports of sign theft are astonishing--we lost a reported 100 out of a teeny tiny town to the west, and a local business owner who's been supporting the Kerry campaign had a 4x6 foot sign stolen off the front of his building.
It goes without saying that these are Democratic signs disappearing.
Umm.....are they hoping to change our minds by this??????!

[realcountrymusic]

24. It's hard!

Concrete, that is. And picking bits of it out of your skull is HARD WORK too.

WTF is up with driving a Tie-Oh-TA. String this guy up!

[Catherine Vincent]

27. At least he admitted it. But if you think about it what else can he say?

He was caught red handed.

[arewenotdemo]

28. I hope they press charges

that would help him to see even more light.
