Trick or treat

[Alysser]

This is why I hate politics. Look what people fight over. Though I did find her statement really uncalled for although I'm ALL for Obama because McCain annoys the CRAP out of me, but that's not for me to post right now.

I actually think the joke was pretty funny, it's not vandilism. Nothing was destroyed no harm done. Then again, I'm 15 so call my humor immature but I did think it was a little funny.

[NoahsMommy]

BS to me means the following: making something up, lying, content that makes it seem like someone is joking or is crazy

Is crazy:
-Taking from the people who have EARNED their money and their spot in life? I'm not in that class, other than I EARN what I recieve. Then GIVING that money to people who DON'T EARN what they have? Because this is aparently one of Obama's plans.
-Making people have socialized care - medically. You ALL know I'm riddled with this stupid Crohn's Disease. I'd NEVER, EVER take socialized care and I'm in an ER at least monthly! The care is bad enough as it is!!!!
-OKing partial birth abortion?? That is discusting!!!!! I give a crap WHO you are, its vatally mutaling a living thing!!! Abortion is A-OK with me, but that doesn't mean I personally would have it done and my disease is hereditary!
-Not voting or holding committee meetings when chairing the Iraq war committee??? Denying funding to the troops that are ALREADY in the Middle East????
-Attending a church with anyone remotely like Jeramiah Write (he could be orange with green polka dots, or PINK, my favorite color and I'd STILL believe that denying ANYONE their rights is WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!)
-Proposing tax refunds/checks to the 40% of people that DON'T pay taxes!?!?!?
-And now....his little campaign is under investigation for getting campaign contributions that were NOT authorized or even asked for!! When people have called to complain and insist they be removed, his volunteers have the nerve to say, "well, are you sure you want that $2300 charge removed??"

Would you like me to go on? You're completely right, I'm uneducated, I don't spend ANY time researching the issues and I completely ignore the candidates. Seems like this is not me you're talking about as I haven't seen a post from you REGARDING THE ISSUES, just rude, accusatory statements when anyone fails to agree with YOU!

Since it seems I'm being attacked for who I am with no reason whatsoever, let me illustrate how open-minded and thoughtful (in that I think, as well as being concerned about people) I am. I am a Christian, always have been:

I want prop 8, to FAIL. I feel gay/lesbian people are MORE than deserving of being married legally. We deserve equal rights!!

I also am OK with abortion, but not partial birth because of how cruel and vicous it is.

No fighting!

I was not offended by the sign switching, especially since the switcher knew the parties involved. Geeezzzzeeee, they're only signs....free signs, I do believe. I could care less who puts what sign on any lawn or corner. There are signs all over the place in my part of the country. They begin to all look the same.

Anyway, I don't see why people get so hot under the collar about what another person thinks when it comes to politics, religion, money, blah blah blah. You ain't never gonna change their minds.

So let's all agree that we aren't going to agree about those topics.

Oh, by the way, I am voting for Obama, for reasons I am not willing to share with you, but trust me, I have thought long and hard about who I want in office. I hope we all have.

I am thinking about going out tomorrow and switching some signs, just to see if anyone notices! I don't take this kind of activity personally. If I had it my way, there wouldn't be any blasted signs anywhere! What a waste of space and materials.

[caseysmom]

Those signs are not free they are purchased and they are someone's property and it is stealing.

[Daisy and Delilah]

Marigold, I really believe it was a harmless prank and done in good fun. I think it's really cool that you and your neighbors have such a good relationship. I'm pretty sure that all signs were returned to their proper places by now.

Jess: I really agree with you. What a brilliant thing to say, as always. I also think everyone has a sense of humor. I think our sense of humor is somewhat unique and that there probably aren't two exactly alike, just like people. Good point!!

[sasvermont]

Oh come on, no one is paying for the signs on their lawns! Of course, someone paid to have them printed, I know that, but they give them away! Lighten up a little! They are lawn art and then fodder once the election is over. I have to watch them wilt by the roadside for the next few months....

Yikes!

You are incorrect they were selling those signs for ten dollars at several places I have been.

that's not true. just because YOU didn't pay for your sign doesn't mean that some people didn't pay for theirs.

I know LOTS of people that paid for their signs.

And it IS against the law to steal them... google it.

What a waste of money... I sure wouldn't pay any of our money for a sign... in fact I think they should pay ME... but the fact of the matter is... some people DO pay for them and it IS illegal to steal them... whether you like it or not.

I mean... I don't care if she played a prank as I don't care about the signs one way or another. But to some people... they matter AND they pay for them AND it is illegal to steal them. so if her neighbor happened to get a burr up his butt about it then it would be her fault and it would be theft. Just saying.

You don't have to like the law... you just have to abide by it

[RICHARD]

lol,

What about the 'Anyone but (Republican) for President' people? Is that gut or is it just Ennie Meenie Minny Moe?


To tell you the truth I have never in my life been so interested in politics until this year. And there is only one reason. It's the idea that some dolt like BO may be my president.

I have the same feelings that Kelly has, there is something that does not sit right with me about his being. There is something about the way he conducts himself that makes me uneasy.


I agree 100 percent with Kelly's views on medical care. Her side is having to navigate the system and mine from working in it for years.

BO's ideas about health care are ridiculous, uneducated and very scary.

Government sponsored health care is a waste of money, time and a dangerous road to travel. Government needs to revise the laws pertaining to malpractice insurance and cap the awards given out by idiot jurors and sought after by money hungry AH lawyers. They also need to revise the laws regarding Med Care/Pharm and supply firms.

About they 'joke'-
He may be watching out for his signs and god forbid someone walks by and ends up getting hassled because they are on his sidewalk?


P.S.

All the AHs that put up the signs should have to take them down after the election.
Nothing irks me more than seeing them cluttering up the streets afterwards.

THIS is what I'm trying to say. You ALL know me, I DON'T start fights or attack unless I am attacked unfairly.

I'll admit that I tend to think people believe the same (especially here!) as I in the area of respectfulness and that I state MY opinion, its JUST that, MY OPINION. I neglect to realize that it can be taken wrong, and I'll be the first to admit that I'm sorry if it came accross another way.

I not only am a patient (nearly daily) constantly for 13+ years, but I've also worked in our medical industry for 6+ years! I'm currently paying nearly $650 in COBRA monthly and I STILL wouldn't want socialized care....even if I had to live in my car and pay only my COBRA!! Until you've been there, just like with ANYTHING ELSE, you really don't completely get the severity.

Have you ever been covered in a country with what you call socialized medicine. If not, how can you know what it is like?

And I am sorry I did not get your sarcasm. It was just that a number of the things you stated as "facts" were incorrect. So I assumed you hadn't done much research.

I have

I know you weren't asking me.

Quite alright Sparky. I know you did not like the experience. And we have heard from Randi in Denmark who finds it a good experience. But

Until you've been there

how can you know it is terrible?

Kelly, you definitely need to do alot more reading.

Do you know the US Health Care system is rated 37th in the world? After most every so-called "socialized" country in the Western World. Our system is number one -- in cost.

No one is attacking you for who you are any more than you are attacking Obama for who he is. People are questioning what you say -- not who you are. There is a difference.

But you cannot say this...

I'm uneducated, I don't spend ANY time researching the issues and I completely ignore the candidates.

and then express strong opinions without being question. If you ignore what the candidates are saying...where are you getting your information?

I think the fine art of sarcasm might be lost on you.
