My neighbors signs
It makes me sick to see those republican signs in his yard.
He is a mentally challenged adult working as a dishwasher.
He is living in HUD supported housing.
I suppose he attended public schools, likely special ed.
I can't bring myself to discuss politics with him.
It is just so wrong for him to support a party which would leave him on the street
to fend for himself...
Speechless, and so ready for those signs to go away so I won't be reminded of this insanity.

1. But maybe someday
he'll win the lottery and then "need" those Republican tax breaks.

3. Quit worrying about your neighbor
Put up your own signs.

Working to help YOUR cause works a lot better, than sitting around complaining because he's working to help HIS cause.

Just my 2 cents.

5. Letting people know your views isn't enough
You have to convince them to join you in your views.

7. I've often thought
that working class and poor people who support Republicans are like deer supporting hunters.

13. The deer that support the hunter are the one's hiding behind their "friends" in hope that
less "friends" mean more food for them.

11. Not a good idea
Unless you want your ass hauled into court.

Never a good idea to mess with campaign signs.

15. "He is a mentally challenged adult"
Aren't most RWers "mentally challenged" vote vs their best interests, and succeed in cutting their collective noses off, to spite their faces?

Seems like the ones that are the most active, wealthy, and vocal, also run for government office.

Unfortunately, some of the absolute worst were voted in or(s)elected like the Shrub, his Poppy, and Reagone.

16. at least he has a legitimate reason for not really grasping reality ...
Edited on Sun Oct-10-10 04:12 PM by zbdent
there are plenty of those who, by societal and scientific standards, are considered "perfectly normal" who choose to be remain ignorant.

Ignorance is curable, stupid is fatal. Stupidity is choosing to remain ignorant.
