Obama signs

[Jersey Dad]

Based on lawn signs, it looks like Long and Foster are going to win. Maybe they can help us out of the housing crisis?

Interesting…

I put up my four (4) McCain signs this past Thursday and my neighbor has had their three (3) Obama signs up as well for about a week now.

Last night someone stole two (2) of my McCain signs and two (2) of my neighbors Obama signs.

We now also have some Rush Holt signs up on our road that were not their before last night.

Just guessing here. Since this is a history making election, maybe 30 years from now, these signs will show up on eBay (assuming eBay will still be there)?

I hate to offend the sullen Victorian gentility of some of the posters here, but, do you want an honest assessment of the campaign so far................?

McCain must've been asleep when he chose Palin for his VP.
She knows NOTHING of what goes on beyond Alaska, she accuses others of the same poor ethics traits which she embraces, she belongs to a kooky religious cult which employs witchdoctors. She spews out the same old, tired chestnut of "family values", when her own family is screwed up.
Shall I continue?
Just because I attack McCain/Palin, you assume that I automatically embrace Obama. I am politically neutral, as a rule. But, I do see Obama as an intelligent, serious, educated, sober, articulate candidate. McCain............not so much!
McCain has done some decent things, he's also done some strange things. He's also quite old and somewhat infirm and probably not able to handle the stress of the office. Could you imagine Palin stepping in as President??????
I know that for some, voting Republican is just a matter of a knee-jerk reflex. Anyone with an "R" after their name was good enough for dear old Grandfather, so it's good enough for me! Plus, "if I ever voted for anyone other than the gop, Gramps would surely spin in his grave". Well, Grampa is long gone and it's time for you to think for yourself Junior. I meet SO MANY people who just pull the switch for the gop candidate just because they have always done it. I guess it's just easier than gestating over the facts and digesting information crucial to an informed decision. A keen sense of instinct and intuition goes a long way as well. Perhaps, some of these folks have lost their natural abilities to smell something rotten in Denmark, and just go with the flow because "thats what the boys down at the club all do".
You may chastise me as you wish. I really don't care either way.
If you think that I'm flaming, fine. I you agree with me, fine. If you think that I'm just killing time, you're probably right.
I'm just asking you to think outside of the box, and question things more often. As an old professor of mine said, "I'm trying to get you to rearrange the furniture of your mind".
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congress always has a low approval rating. Except fot the rep. in OUR district. Everyone likes THEIR rep., it's those other "idiots" that they can't stand.

I wonder how many voted for bush, especially in '04, just because he had an "R" after his name. 9/11 made him a hero. Even though he spent the previous August burnin' brush with Barney instead of at least, LOOKING as though he were doing something about his PDB warnings. I know that some will stick up for him and say, "well, he didn't know". Yes, but at least, a half-hearted attempt at twarting the disaster would've been nice. He is, after all, the most vacationing prez that we've had so far. Maybe, you can finally go and have that beer with him very soon. As for me, I DON'T want the dimmest bulb in the room as my leader. Bush may be a great hard-drinkin;, back-slappin', dirty joke-tellin' frat-boy, but, he was hardly presidential material. It's as though we took the bosses least qualified son, and put him in charge of the multi-national corporation just because he was fun to be with!
As a consequence he will go down as one of the worst presidrnts that we've ever had. He will be in Buchanan, Harding and Nixon territory.
Just because a lot of the congenital, dynastic. generational republicans couldn't say NO!!!!!!!!!!

Great timing - go read the CNN website article:

"#@*!!! Anonymous anger rampant on Internet"

What's funny is that posters who post in anger or in ways to get a rise make it sound like their informative or having discussion and get upset when people oppose their views or point out they drag the board down. The sad thing is that if they kept their tone normal as they would in a discussion and didn't post for effect they might have something valuable or informative to say.

Electric campaign signs???????????

What a whackjob!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But............you responded!

Anyway, just because I think that Palin is an idiot doesn't automatically mean that I am for Obama. I don't have the knee-jerk reflex that so many of my gop-loving friends seem to have developed. I won't support someone just because of the letter they have after their name.
It's just so funny that Palin appeals to the low-brow republicans. The same people who believe that the moon landing was fake and that pro-wrasslin' is real!!! The same working poor and working class types who benefit MOST from government programs, but, who vote AGAINST them because the politicians have perfected their framing techniques and their Frank Luntz-tested focus groups. The gop has mounted an attack against public programs for the last several decades with much success. The think tanks and foundations, which are funded by the high-rent republicans, have trickled-down their finely crafted hatchet-job to their minions out in the field. Right-wing nut radio and TV filters the talking points and the message from up on high to Joe & Jane the Plumber, they digest the drivel, with not much effort, and start to believe all of the crap that is spewed out to them on a daily basis.
Orwell would be shocked, and Goebbels would be proud!
Have you ever heard Limbaugh and these other idiots?
The average American has been royally fleeced by such charlatans
who have NO shame and have every malice aforethought so long as their wallet is padded by the vast right-wing who seeks to plunder the public treasury for the private "good".
All public policy as of late seems to be an effort to privitize the profits, while socializing the costs. So, in order to reframe the debate and pin the "Socialist" moniker on the other guy first so that Joe & Jane Public will be outraged at the wrong people once again, seems to be the gop's M.O.!!!
Sarah Palin is PERFECT for this!!!
She is JUST bright enough to pull off the charm part of this, but, not so bright as to cloud her head with too much knowledge!
I DO see her as a leader of the gop. But, it's the silly, far-right part of the party that is comprised of NASCAR watchin', cheap-beer-in-cans-drinkin', weird religious cult believin' hillbillies and rednecks.

Do you post simply to try and keep your flames and threads active? There hasn't been a post for 8 days and the last one was yours. We get it already...
