Put a stop to the Politicking around here. The Catholic Church was even boldly putting signs in the yard, passing out pamphlets inside the Church. Parishioners were furious. Leaving their Church, people transporting voters.

I know one woman who had hip surgery, she could not even walk, but transported people to vote. In her Caddie!

Even funnier Obama signs were all over the wealthy neighborhoods. Not all wealthy people are stupid.
