I'm Going to Steal a Sign Tonight. |
|
Edited on Mon Nov-03-08 07:52 PM by rucky
I was walking in the neighborhood this morning, and saw a yard with a McCain sign and an Obama sign. I thought to myself that it was interesting - maybe a split-vote family.
As I got closer, I saw some tape on the Obama sign, and closer, "N" was written on it. As in "NOBAMA" (clever, huh?)
Then I got to thinking, that yard sign cost the campaign at least 8 bucks, and they offer it free to supporters. So this clown pretty much stole a (free) sign from the campaign, and I'm pretty sure didn't contribute a penny.
So I'm stealing it tonight.

Don't read OPs. They just jerk-off a reply. I've seen it happen, is all I'm saying.

31. I Read The OP Just Fine. He's Stealing Someone's Sign. I Hope He Gets Caught. |
|
It isn't up to us to dictate how someone does or doesn't use a campaign sign. I hope the OP gets caught and arrested.

Man, some people have no sense of humor, either.
Bush* gets away with murder and you hope a DUer who takes back a stolen sign gets more heat than *? Gawd...

4. No. Don't do it. That is the WRONG thing to do. |
|
Instead, put Obama stickers on the backs of every street sign in a 2-block radius.

7. Im thinking of stealing one too |
|
I live in a neighborhood with mixed politics, but I was dumbfounded to find a McCain/Adolfes sign on our neighborhood entry way, basically common property. I believe that sign needs to be removed.

You're doing him a favor. First, some vandal put tape all over his Obama sign. Then some other vandal came by and littered a McCain sign on his yard.
Thank you for doing these good deeds.

I don't blame you for wanting to take that particular sign. I just don't want you to get into trouble. Be careful if you do it. Then post a picture of your victory here! :D

15. I've had evil thoughts of making off with the gigantic McCain/Palin sign |
|
set up across the street of the Methodist church, that every driver sees going through the village. I just wish I had the disposable income for a bigger Obama sign to block it.
Unfortunately, judging from the huge signs in the major traffic areas, this place seems very Republican-- and I'm in NY!

16. I saw one in my neighborhood that says |
|
"Another Democrat for McCain"
I told my 11 yr-old son it meant "Another Racist for McCain" when he was confused by it. The RWers can have those people. We don't want them.

32. It might not get noticed by the owner as fast as a missing sign would. |
|
And hey, you just added a little bit to the typo.

20. Maybe I will sneak out in the dark of night and rip the McCain/MILF stickers |
|
from my disgusting neighbor's old beater truck. If I get caught, I will just blame it on my husband being gone for so long to Iraq that I have now absolutely cracked. The MP's will let me go.

Haven't you got something more productive and more POSITIVE to do with your time?
The campaign isn't hurting for money at the moment, so why bother?

Take the high road, don't be like the lowlife thugs. When I drive by a McFailin sign, I just give it my most emphatic mental middle finger.

It's their property and they can put whatever sign they want in their yard. Don't let it get to you. Just ignore the idiot.

Taking back an Obama sign is like a hostage rescue.:patriot:
Leave the McCain sign though...And be careful...It might be booby-trapped.

35. No yard sign should cost the campaign $8. |
|
the quantities they print them in, they shouldn't pay more than about $2, if that. Otherwise, they're getting ripped off.
And you get your yard signs for FREE? We have to pay for ours.
