I get this tremendous urge to take some electrical tape and convert the sign, making the P in Palin into an F. Does this mean I'm deep down a bad person?

McCain
Falin

1. No
I was driving behind an SUV with a "NObama08" sticker at my kids' school. I was ready to take out my mega-sharpie to change the N to a G.

3. I'm with you
I live in an area that usually has more Republican signs out by this time and I think I've seen two. Hopefully that's a good sign.

6. I am SO F***ing tempted to give people who have McSame stickers on the car...
... the middle finger, cut them up, slam on brakes, do something to register my displeasure with them.

I know I wouldn't do it but that is honestly how I am feeling at this point. How can someone driving a late 1990's SUV have a McCain/Pailin sticker on their vehicle?

Or maybe the K-Love sticker reinforces it?

Mark.

8. I feel like pulling down those signs.
The problem is that they are on people's front lawns and in clear view of a road that gets a lot of traffic. Too many witnesses and what would it solve? But the feeling is understandable...

:hug:

9. Maybe time to exercise my 2nd amendment rights?
And use the thing to shoot the sign?

Failin hunts from helicopters, would it be OK for me to hunt Failin' signs from a minivan?

10. In theory that is funny. :)
But it practice, not really lots of little kids and dogs frolicking around on the lawns, not a good idea.

12. Yeah, that's as far as it'd get. Theory.
I don't own a gun, don't plan on owning one, and am right royally scared of them.

Mark.

13. I don't own a gun.
I am never owning a gun because I get suicidal sometimes.

11. My Obama signs get stolen out of my yard constantly.
I just keep putting more back up.

I'm not sure it's a felony, but it really pisses me off.

14. That is terrible and that is another reason I don't steal signs.
It just is too Republican to steal yard signs.

15. The value of the sign isn't enough to make it a felony
It's a misdemeanor. And as tempting as I know it is, it's better not to. I know they do it to us, but two wrongs don't make a right.
