Sticker on a car parked in front of my neighbor's house - "Vote the WHITE party in 2012"

Sometimes the urge to commit acts of vandalism is very difficult to control.

Here in my corner of SW PA the R&R sings have been sprouting everywhere. I honestly think that Obama supporters don't put out signs for fear of the vandalism.
I grew up around here and can't believe how divorced these people are from reality and forgetful of their roots.

I rescued it this morning. The vitriol is amazing. I know my next door neighbors are voting Obama, but they hardly talk to anyone in the neighborhood and never put out signs - only black family on the block. We've always had a great relationship with them but I think they're afraid of reprisal. I'm a little more of an "in your face" type of person.

On the plus side, rMoney doesn't have a chance of taking the state.

In a way, I would rather the repukes be honest about the real cause of their hatred for the President instead of trying to hide behind other issues. I want the nation, and the world for that matter, to see them for what they really are!

put most of it in a jar, cause you don't want to waste it, and just spill a bit of it on the ground underneath the assholes gas cap, like it spilled while you were doing something nefarious.

Then crumple up the empty bag and toss it on the ground.

Watch with a bunch of cold beer as the jackass freaks out about what "happened".

because 9 times out of 10 the bumper stickers complaining about being taxed too much are on old beater pickup trucks that look to be worth about $200.00. This is apparently the vehicle of choice for overtaxed millionaires.

If you can find one, you should sneak up at night and put a Herman Cain sticker right next to it.

The Republican Party has become a disgrace and if they keep it up year's long solid Republicans will abandon it. Can't come soon enough for me.

In mine they aren't so open about it and use code words instead. Racism in all its forms is what is ruining this country and keeping the plutocrats in control because they feed on it.

And that he was raised by his white grandparents.

Nah, don't bother, it's probably too much for their little brains to comprehend.
