McCain Palin - Prosperity Not Socialism (OMFG!!!)
Are these signs prevalent? There's some rancher who owns a plot of land near an entrance to our town, and all the right wing nut jobs post there, and I couldn't freaking believe my eyes when I saw a big assed sign up there on Saturday that said exactly that:

McCain
Palin
Prosperity not Socialism

Are they serious? Are they f*cking serious? It wasn't a self-painted one or anything. It looked like a standard campaign produced huge 10 x 8 sign.

1. They're serious. Rush Limbaugh tells them we're socalists and they
believe it.

7. Too true, but is the campaign really using that slogan?
I mean, come on. That makes last night's SNL skit look like chickenfeed compared to what they're really doing. Seriously, is accusing him of offering health care to Osama bin Laden really that much of a stretch to accusing him of being a socialist on a campaign sign?

10. I just read that it wasn't hand painted?!
Wow! I would report this to the Obama camp. And, it wouldn't hurt to ask the homeowner where you might get such a sign?

2. Oh heck yeah.... search "commie" on Freeptardville

"Commie" - can you believe people even still use that as a political pejorative?

There must have been some kind of nuclear scare back in the 1950's, and these folks just crawled out of their fallout shelters.

3. That makes me want to say 'let it fall'
.... let's just let 'er rip and let things fall where they may. I would really like to see people like that suffer and whine. I'll be ok. I'm not in debt. I've been preparing for this for 5 years. It's just the poor of the poor I feel badly for that aren't like these people you describe.

4. Sounds like the same kind of wacko that would normally have a
.....huge "Get US out of the UN!" sign up in the same spot.

We've got a couple of those around here (Ca.) too.

14. Obama should put out the same sort of signs
After all, as some have pointed out, the proposed $700 billion bailout is socialization of losses.

17. My husband's Grandma told me the other day that she
didn't want the US to turn into a Socialist country. *sigh* And my parents have been yammering about "Socialism" for a long time too. Morans! Love 'em, but they're still morans!
