37. How about paint balls? heehee
The signs I've seen around here are dark blue with the names in white.....blue? No mention of republic-an? Are they trying to influence people to thinking they're Democrats? This wouldn't happen to any of us here but in the real world with people who don't pay attention but are aware of the blue state red state maps on the teevee, they might just remember the blue...on election day...heaven forbid!

8. Someone in a total state of denial.
One doesn't have to be a political junkie to know that this brand of conservatism has failed this country big time.

12. Idiot! For sure...but far more thoughts, too!
Honestly when these signs are planted in front of low-end rental units it just boggles my mind. What the heck does the resident of the rental unit think McCain/Palin is going to do to improve his/her lot in life?????

14. There are 4 in my neighborhood.
Actually, there are 6, but two yards have two each.
Twice as stupid I guess.
I know the folks.
None of them are a surprise.

They all know where I stand.

I'm in the reddest county in Alabama.
Political campaign time sucks here.

Of course, I live next to Downtown Durham.

26. Funny you should post this.
I was returning from the bus station, picking up my daughter.....we went past a house with 5 McCain/Palin signs on the front lawn. I said to her: "I'm stupid, I'm stupid, I'm stupid, I'm stupid, I'm stupid." There's a whole lotta pride in their ignorance.

28. thankfully they are few and far between here
There aren't many around here--I think I've seen two. There are tons of Obama signs, though.

When I see them I think of it like they've labeled themselves as dummies.

As the poster upthread says, it doesn't take a lot to realize this brand of conservatism has failed the country.

38. "Chickens for Colonel Sanders." or "8 Years of Bewsh hasn't cured that stupid, I see . . ."
So many of them on middle/working class homes. I guess they think McCain and his uber pro-free-trader rhetoric will bring back jobs to Ohio and Michigan. I guess they think McCain and his tax cuts for wealthy people is going to make this country solvent. Unbeliveable.

40. SAD.
Our neighbors are good people. It's very sad to see their sign - even though it's no surprise.

42. I don't yet
I live in McCain's home sate and I haven't seen one. I did spot ONE bumper sticker last week - my reaction was "surprise". It's not that he doesn't have supporters here, it's that they seem to be reluctant at best.
