Our better nature
We are writing to take responsibility for initially defacing the Bush/Cheney campaign sign on the corner of Mukilteo Speedway and Harbour Pointe Road. Intolerant of a political opinion different from our own, we took spray paint in hand one night to commit that crime.
We are very sorry.
We later realized that being righteous has never made and will never make a difference in this world. We're committed to being like Voltaire, who said, "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." Please accept our apology.
We called the Republican Party of Snohomish County to "come clean" with them. They rejected our offer to pay for a new sign, requesting instead that we repair Republican campaign signs with Cecil Chapman for a day, which we did. Cecil is a kind, full-time volunteer who spends his own money installing and maintaining his party's campaign signs. We will never look at those signs in the same way again. — Alan Cooney and Vanda Mikoloski, Mukilteo

Huh. Who would have thought that thugs have a conscience? Most of the DemonRats don't.
How about sharpening your metal signs so the edges are like razor blades....
Well at least two do. I'm not holding my breath for any others though...
I'm sure they'll be paying the fine and spending time in the pokey, right?....NOT!
Sounds like a plea bargin to me...
And once again we're sorry...sorry we got caught.
I call B.S. Liberals never atone for their crimes.
Somebody threatened these punks with an ass whoopin'. Shooting off their mouths bragging about what they did got them fingered.
Wow! I'm impressed!
Maybe old Cecil got a few good arguments for GWB in there while he was at it!

What do they mean by "initially"?
Intolerant of a political opinion different from our own.
The main plank in the Democrats platform.
Oh, come on. It's just possible that they have a conscience. People sometimes get angry and do things they later regret. Cut them some slack. And hope that if you ever do something equally dumb--heaven forbid!--you're as honest as these guys.
If they are sincere in a few years they will turn away from the democrat party. It would seem that they at least think which is more than I can say for the rest on the left.
Then I read it more closely. Is this actually what they are asking of me?
Democrats with a conscience are like Muslims who oppose terrorism. They're out there, but there don't appear to be that many of them, and they're usually pretty quiet when it comes to expressing outrage against the actions of their, uh . . . activists.
Near future conservatives. If this is legit I'm glad the Republicans didn't act like democrats and scare them away.
