Staking their claim: Campaign signs become a target

Rock-solid Republican Cindy Youell awoke recently to find her McCain-Palin sign missing from her lawn in Altamonte Springs and an Obama-Biden one jammed in its place.

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old rancher, who's hand was caught in the gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Obama and his bid to be our president.
The old rancher said,'Well, ya know, Obama is a 'Post Turtle''.
Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a 'post turtle' was.
The old rancher said,'When your driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a 'post turtle'.
The old rancher saw the puzzled look on the doctor's face so he continued to explain.'You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't belong up there, and he doesn't know what to do while he's up there, and you just wonder what kind of dumbas* put him up there to begin with'.

I use them for garage sale signs.

I made a nice Obama 08 sign in my wood shop, it too a few hours. I attached 2 American flags to it and put it up. It lasted for a bout 2 weeks before it disappeared. It was not really the fact that the person too my sign, it was more of, you came on my property and stole something. I don't feel as safe in this neighborhood anymore. It was probably kids, anyway

This whole election process has been ridiculous!
All the death threats and cardboard cut outs hanging.
How sick are people?
Are we still that racist that people will talk about murder etc?
A lot of these people are the right wing conservatives, They need to check their bible!
This is an evil way to act.
What are they going to do when Obama wins?
I will be throwing a HUGE party.
OBAMA/BIDEN 08!

Every election, this one pops up & the names change. I remember it being Bush.

My McCain-Palin sign lasted less than 24 hours before being stolen. If I had more time on my hands I'd take my fence charger and run a hotwire to the sign frame for the next thief.

Now it turns out McCain gave $480,000 to a group tied to the PLO.
McCain was born in Panama, so I wonder if he is palling around with Marxist Panamanian terrorists.
Palin's husband hates America and wants Alaska to secede from the USA.
What a traitorous ticket. They should be charged with treason.

There are only 4 more days left until the party is over for the Repugs. Even though they are the only patriots.

If we listened to you we'd probably have that 75 year old rancher as the President. That's called almost a post-mortem turtle.

Here's an idea: How about stopping these signs all together? They litter up the landscaping. My favorite is those of Franklin Perez, which are tie wrapped to every fence, lamppost, and, get this, private property signs throughout the east Seminole County area. During non-elections times (I not sure those exist anymore), those signs would be considered litter and would be subject to fines.

I have had my Obama stolen. I put a camera on it and a signs saying it was on a camera and the guy stole it agian. I am putting the theif up on you tube.

Yeah, I'm sure we'll all miss that down-home, folksy incompetent approach to government that's cost us SIX TRILLION DOLLARS AND FIVE THOUSAND DEAD IN THE PAST EIGHT YEARS.

That includes the thousand that died in Katrina, while 43 was out fundraising.

Thank God we'll be out of Iraq in 2010, with OBAMA-BIDEN 2008 !!

Want to know what’s in the video tape that the LA Times is refusing to release about Barack Obama and PLO activist turned professor Rashid Khalidi?

Obama congratulates Khalidi for his work saying “Israel has no God-given right to occupy Palestine” plus there’s been “genocide against the Palestinian people by Israelis.”

If people tell you that John McCain headed up a group that gave Khalidi’s group money, don’t believe them. Here’s what really happened:

It’s true that McCain distributed several grants, including one worth about half a million dollars, to the Center for Palestine Research and Studies, or CPRS, a West Bank organization once associated with Khalidi.

What some are failing to mention is that CPRS is pro-Western and can be characterized as pro-Israel.

Khalidi left CPRS. The Khalidi organization Obama helped fund as a board member for a nonprofit, alongside domestic terrorist William Ayers, has taken a flagrantly anti-Israel line. Khalidi’s Arab American Action Network has hosted scores of Israel-bashing events, including at least one reportedly attended by Obama.

Cheryl,
Why is it racist when white people decide to vote for McCain. Obama is the choice of a large percentage of white people. Blacks are almost 100% in support of Obama. I guess you were talking about those black people when you said racist.

You are just one more uninformed Obamabite parroting all of that Internet crap. For the millionth plus time, there are NO credible sources to back up those so-called facts

Didn't Bill Clinton say the same thing about Sarah Palin a few weeks ago??? Yes, he did.

Sad that people think sticking some plastic in their yard is some sign of freedom or expressing their free speech rights.

Stick a real contraversial sign in your yard, like a life size cut out of McCain yelling at kids to get off his lawn, or a Obama poster re-written to say 'OBEY'....

[ADJ]

Oh, and PS to maxdan.... McCain was born on an AMERICAN military base to AMERICAN parents, thus making him an AMERICAN.. got it?
