This Speedy Max Texaco quick stop in Elgin, Texas has allowed someone to put a very large "Beto" sign in front of it's store. Not sure that is good idea. Why would you want to alienate a LOT of your customers in Texas with that?

Don’t Mess With Some Texans. Really.

Good hot sausage there in Elgin.

Another example of Leftie illogical thinking. It’s only logical that this would offend many of the customers. Emotion overrides common sense again.

Just tax them of 100% of their proceeds. It is only fair.

[bigbob]

Put it OVER half of their sign and they’d be the BETOMAX, which was a loser.

[WMarshal]

I urge some caution because that sign is placed fairly far from the footprint of the gas station. That sign may be on public property or on another private property.

I totally agree that any business owner doing that in Texas is risking losing customers unless they are willing to discount their gas.

[Boomer]

Sure looks like it’s on the gas station’s property in the picture.

Gas is a lot cheaper there too.

Only “Half”???

[TheNext]

Beto? Tell the manager he misspelled Pedo.

[Maudeen]

I guess there is a big swamp in Texas that needs to be drained, too. I always like to know who I am doing business with when I can. . . . that station would be a “no go” for me!

I own retail real estate

I’ve allowed signs ...big ones...for candidates I like....Trump and Mitt and Queeg the last two being just practical choices...and in a city proper that is 70% democrat

It’s cost me very little I could tell if any and if it did it doesn’t last unless you go nutz

Sometimes you gotta take a stand

That may be the owners view

I’d imagine he knows the risk

[broken_arrow1]

..because Democrat supporters are inherently stupid to begin with. Part of the demographic.

Sometimes you gotta take a stand.

Yes, sometimes we do. This is the first time I've taken a picture of such offensive garbage and posted it with info like this. Taking a stand. Guys like you motivate me.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Gas is a lot cheaper there too.

That's high for gas around here.

Take some paint,, and turn the O into an A.

[rstrahan]

A lot of businesses allow all candidates to put up signs to be nom-partisan. However, I am betting it is on the right-of-way, not station property give the business sign location

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

This place has Middle Easterners working at the counter. Also, can’t the business take the sign down if it wishes to?

Gas station/fake Mexican taco joint.
