Pensacola resident Anne Bennett lost four Kerry signs from her front yard before putting out a homemade sign that read "Nice people don't steal or vandalize."
She should have said that to the Florida people who stole Bush signs during the last election.
I don't condone anyone stealing anything off of peoples property.
This article prompted me to put up my Bush/Cheney sign.
Chester Countyites- I have a stack if you need one.
check on e-bay in the bargain bin.
Wellll, maybe. While the lefties are experts at this sort of thing, I can't endorse it, although turnabout is fair play.
I am one of two guys who do a lot of election year yard-sign distribution here in Sarasota county, Florida. We also handle putting these near polling places on election day, as well as getting these signs put at every viable street corner and throughway that we can.
I can personally attest that, in these parts, ripping up GOP-candidate's yard signs by the score at 2 AM and leaving them in the dumpster is a democRAT specialty. In the last thirty days prior to the election, there's very few signs that stay in place more than a few days before they disappear. Sure keeps us busy.
There are countermeasures that can be taken to, er, "inconveinence" an such thievery, but I will not go into details here.
"Panhandle for Kerry"....geez..ya think?
Of course not. Bush did it.
I wonder if they'd be interested in how the Bush Cheney '04 and W '04 bumperstickers on my car have been ripped off, the car spat on, keyed and now a tire slashed. Nah, that's a non story.

You could always affix the signs to tilt-rods, heh heh heh...
It wasn't Charley that hit the Panhandle, it was Bonnie. Come to think of it there were some major improvement to the local trailer parks....:-)
Last weekend, my daughter and I colored "Ashcroft Rumsfeld 2008" in our front window. I'm sure my almost 100% D neighbors enjoyed that.

yeah, just like the ONE story they were able to find here in the People's Democratic Republic of Washington about one Kerry sticker being defaced. This was in Fremont, which is sort of like San Francisco. Think a Republican did that? Thousands of cars are keyed, signs defaced and bumperstickers removed of Bush supporters and it's a non-story.
IOW, I find this quite hard to believe. Bush supporters don't do this.
There used to be a deal where you could get your entire car covered in a nicely-done promotional car wrap. Something like this:

Frankly, we try to steal their yard signs, they try to steal the election. Which is worse?
More likely it is the democrats stealing their own signs to make a story.
Yes, it does happen all the time.
Whenever lawn signs for a state-wide GOP candidate go up in Minneapolis, they are frequently vandalized or ripped off.
I know this. I've replaced more than a few of 'em over the years.
It is aggravatting (sp?) and un-necessary and I wish it wouldn't happen...but the Democrats definitely don't have any business whining about this sort of stuff.
