Which means nothing. One person can put up 50 signs.


Or the ones I hate, where they spam public areas like medians with campaign signs. I like to steal those. If someone wants to put a sign on their property that is fine, but don't litter the highways etc.

Like someone is REALLY going to vote based on seeing a campaign sign along the highway. The independents (undecided) are RUNNING AWAY from political ads and signs. It's superficial politics.

Thank goodness for Direct TV caller ID. You don't even have to get up to look at the phone. The IDs show up in HD right on the 84 inch screen. :heart:

Yes, I deliberately answered one of those yesterday and had a really good time arguing with the Obama volunteer after he told me I was voting for someone who had no chance at winning (and hence I was wasting my vote). I told him that if the public keeps thinking like that, then the Republicans and Democrats will continue to not work for my vote, not get their job done, and our problems will continue to go unsolved like they have the last several decades. He tried to claim that passing healthcare was a major accomplishment that wouldn't have happened were it not for Obama, and I said maybe so but his environmental record sucks and we can't afford to wait to deal with it. He tried to scare me with Romney will push us back further and I replied I didn't see that happening - either he waffles like he has been and nothing changes, or we continue to have environmental disasters pile up debt like is predicted and he and the rest of the party are finally forced to get on board - in which case it doesn't matter who's president.

He thanked me for my time and got off the phone - I was a lost cause. :biggrin: :woo hoo:

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

Most are gonna vote based on the stupid commercials on the tube, which are all a bunch of BS.

I always answer 'si' for either side that calls, keeps the polls honest.

The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

I guess none of the righties have a very good memory, this is exactly the way it was in 2008. My road has maybe 40 driveways... there was at least 20 that had McCain/Palin signs, some with multiple signs. The few liberals up there won't even put a sign up (they get removed) or put a sticker on their car for Obama to save the cost of a paint job. Pull into most of the businesses along 285 with a Obama sticker for more than 30 minutes and the odds go way up you will have more than a few new scratches on your car, usually across the sticker. So your biased anecdotal evidence is just that, anecdotal. And not very accurate
