It is strange around here. I see tons of signs for our senators, representatives, judges, and even the drain commissioner. I only seen one Presidential sign and that was for Mcbush. I just noticed the guy that lives just NW of my house has three new signs and not one of them is a Presidential sign. Back home I would see Presidential signs all over, but not here.

McBush.

That's a fitting name. I'm not American so I can't vote, but it definitely wouldn't be for that old guy and the hot chick. If he dies, she'll be President...that's a scary thought...

Hmm, I haven't seen many either. Actually I haven't seen one.

I wouldn't have a sticker on my car or a sign in my yard, people are passionate about politics, would be similar to having a target on your back;-)

It is even funnier there are two guys competing for this position one is a Republican and the other a Democrat.

I see tons of Obama bumper stickers around here and some Obama yard signs too.

OMG!

I wonder what their policies are on drains?! Conservative -v- liberal drains?

daaaaave · 09-18-2008, 10:25 AM

don't make fun, i'd run for just about any office in a small town

orpheus · 09-18-2008, 11:01 AM

I just got a free Obama button from Moveon.

I'm going to wear it and see what my right-wing father and bosses think of it.

Just kidding. Seriously, I heard Michael Savage basically tell his audience to get into road rage with liberals who have anti-bush bumper stickers on their vehicles. I remember I had a sticker that mocked religion, and a truck almost ran me off the road. It just isn't worth it. heh.

I think people hesitate to put up signs for similar reasons (harrassment and vandalism).

bezoomny · 09-18-2008, 11:29 AM

Well, down in Mississippi if you put up an Obama sign it will get stolen and defaced.

Drella · 09-18-2008, 11:40 AM

I used to see Ron Paul signs and bumper stickers all over the place. They were posted in the middle of busy intersections and people's yards; there was one guy at my college who even had a giant Ron Paul decal on the back of his truck, but I've yet to come across a McCain or Obama sign/bumper sticker.

copper · 09-18-2008, 02:25 PM

Well I came home and the guy that lives just NW of my house has an Obama sign in his yard.

Cerberus · 09-18-2008, 02:28 PM

My neighbor has somewhere around 10 obama signs on his yard. He has obama flags for his car, obama bumper stickers, an obama windshield protector or whatever they're called, and probably some other things. People who get that enthusiastic about political candidates are strange.

daaaaave · 09-18-2008, 04:17 PM

i got my moveon obama/biden bumper sticker today, but i'm not sure i want to put it on my car cause it might be hard to take off

shyvr6 · 09-18-2008, 04:43 PM

They're not really that hard to take off. You just need some rubbing alcohol, a hairdryer, and a putty knife or something similar.

millenniumman75 · 09-18-2008, 06:01 PM

I have seen a few from both parties.

They spray painted a Kerry/Edwards sign where I live. I think putting a presidential sign in your yard is stupid because everybody knows which way you lean on the political scale. And some people act really stupid about politics. I doubt most people know if their commisioner is a liberal or conservative.

He looks OK. I'd vote for him!
