All of us are aware of the senseless vandalism or theft of Bush campaign signs, not to mention the break-ins of Bush campaign offices around the country. Well here is a payback that will warm your heart.
A 'right thinking' friend of mine in Wisconsin just got an email from his cousin in Vancouver, WA:
Last Thursday I put out one of my Bush/Cheney signs in my front yard.
Between midnight and 3:00 a.m. someone stole it.
On Friday night I put out sign No. 2.
Since I didn't have to get up early, I thought my dog and I would "stake out" our sign. This time I put the sign a little closer to the gate leading to my backyard.
With my dog on an extra long leash, I planted myself on a lawn chair and read "Unfit for Command" by flashlight until about 1:00 a.m. Here comes the fun part . . . I noticed that the car coming down the street was slowing down and pulling over to the curb right next to my yard. Sure enough, he gets out of his car and heads right for my sign. Just as he was about to uproot and desecrate it, I opened my gate and let my dog make an initial introduction!
As he ran to hide behind the rear end of his car, I promptly moved to the driver-side door, which was still open. It was a fairly nice car with power everything and still running. While my dog continued o "introduce" herself, I rolled up the window and hit the power door lock button. With that, I slammed the door, grabbed my Bush sign and headed into the back yard.
And now for the "rest of the story." About 40 minutes later, I heard a knock at the door. I opened the door to one of our city's finest, the Vancouver Police Department. The officer asked me what was going on and when I told him, he could not stop laughing! I followed him out to the perp's car and stood there while he asked the guy a few more questions. Upon learning that the guy lived a couple of streets down, I -- knowing what was about to happen -- asked him, "Why do you have Oregon plates on your car if you live just down the street (here in Vancouver, Wash.)?"
Oregon has no sales tax, so often Washington residents will buy and register cars in Oregon to avoid paying sales tax . . . it's a crime and the fine is pretty stiff.
Here comes the best part. . . . The look on this guy's face told me he knew he was about to get busted. When the officer asked for his license and registration, the "Democrat" mumbled that his license was suspended.
Just for kicks and giggles I asked the officer if he smelled any alcohol coming from the guy! The officer looked at me, smiled and promptly gave him a field breathalyzer test.
Guess what? You got it, he blew a 0.10, legally drunk in the state of Washington. DUI, illegal registration and the brand of "MORON," all cause he hates Bush!
Cost of Bush signs: $5.95 each
Cost of Flashlight batteries: $3.95/Pack
Seeing a Leftwing Numbskull carted off to the hoosegow: Priceless!!.
VOTE EARLY, VOTE YOUR CONSCIENCE, BUT VOTE!!!
You've been had. This has been posted on FR a dozen times, I believe.
You made my day!
You know where?
What a GREAT STORY. A Classic for sure. Got love the help of the office too.
beautiful
i love these stories
I heard it a month ago on the radio. Great story if it`s true though.
Nonetheless, I still enjoy reading it.
Man that is awesome!!! That jerk got what he deserved--thanks to YOU!!
I love this story!
I would like to let my friend know he got took also is his cousin is being a clown.
I believe it was a caller to Larry Elder's show that told this story on the air. I don't know if it was ever proven true or false, but I sure hope it really happened!
Mine are still in my yard. However, I've put up a Bush/Cheney sign 3 times at one corner in the neighborhood (not on anyone's personal property either) and the sign goes missing the next day.
It's been circulating in e-mail apparently. Here's another thread with the same one.

That story made my day!!!!!!!!
Yeah ... just a tad to cutesy to be believable ... in other words mostly BS.
I don't care....its still a great laugh.
Now, I'm curious to know if it was his cousin, or got spoofed big time.
