Blech! My town is infested with Bush/Cheney signs.
Okay, the Bush campaign volunteers must have gone through here recently. I live in a small town of around 5 to 6,000 people. It's pretty conservative, and I imagine Bush would probably win the vote of our town. But in a matter of two weeks, we went from having two Bush-Cheney yard signs to around twenty. It's really bad when you drive out rural areas. It's almost every damn house!

On the other hand, I've counted 3 or 4 Kerry signs (I just got mine this week).

I e-mailed my county's Democratic headquarters and volunteered my services to help getting more visible support for Kerry in this area. It's hard to stay optimistic when you're surrounded by all these Bush lovers.

Times like this I wish I still lived in the city with all the other Democrats like back in 2000.

1. I hear ya!
I am moving to Cincinnati, and think maybe I will stay away from the outer suburbs, they too are infested with B/C signs. Good time to house hunt though, at least I know who my potential neighbors support!!

3. Good point.

At the very least there aren't any B/C signs on the street I live on.

I'm interested to see what will happen when I put my Kerry sign up. Hopefully it won't get stolen. :eyes:

2. So is my former workplace. Outsourced jobs to Canada, and the Bush/
Cheney fundraising machine moved in - it's nauseating.
"W stands for Women" - riiiiight. Pathetic.
"Bush/Cheney: Farm and Ranch Team" - is that 'cos they're not up to big-league play yet? Or is it to convince us that Chimpy is jes' a good ol' boy rancher - jes' reg'lar folks??? Gag me.

The Rethuglicans are filth. What else is there to say?
