My hubby says the ovals look good too he didnt like the square ones which i got at the RNC office in Eugene where ive been volunteering. my kids stuck the stickers on their bedroom doors when i wasnt looking so i guess i needed new doors anyhow:o they are hard to get off although my sister says to use liquid fabric softner on them and they peel right off.

I live in Austin and just finished driving through Kerry country with my W04 sticker displayed on my truck. Those a$$holes only work at night and in crowds. I love to pi$$ them off. I'm 65 and have even tried walking all humped over, with my Bush stuff on, thinking I could attract one of them. That is probably a violation of the baiting game laws, but no Game Warden caught me.

Well Seattle did put up a statue of Lenin, probably bought it from Russia on ebay. Listed under Metal Junk Figure, free just take it.

Wait till they loose and start screaming that the silent majority stole the election. Then they'll really get violent. When people start getting shot at polls is when we've had it as a republic.

Oh for God's sake, lets get it on. Most of the military present and past is right wing. It shouldn't take long.

Over the last few years, I've taken to parking on certain Mpls streets where we have GOP lawn signs.

I have a baseball bat too. I still don't know if I'd use it because I've never caught anyone.

But if feels good getting out and staking out a location or two. Better than sitting around and waiting for it to happen.

A couple years ago we had a Republican in a close runoff for Mayor of Houston and the sign wars were getting very nasty. I lived right next to a major road at the time and I used to always put a lineup of GOP signs out front.

My signs were getting stolen all the time so I decided to take steps to inconvenience the Democrat theives. I went down to the automotive section at wal-mart and bought several containers of WD-40, silicone and just about every nasty messy gooey machine lubricant I could find. I took it home, put my new signs up, then drenched them in several coats of the stuff. The signs were the chloroplast with wire frame types too so I poured a bunch of oil inside of them as well. To cars who see it the sign looks normal since the WD-40 is clear, but to theives...well, that's another story and it didn't take them long to figure out that i'm not somebody to mess with.

That evening I sat outside watching my signs off to the side of the building where they couldn't see me from the street. Within 15 minutes one of those leftist volvo station wagons pulls up to the curb and a homosexual activist who worked for a campaign that was trying to block an anti-gay marriage benefits referendum for city employees. He opens up his trunk and pulls out a couple of their "stop hate" signs against the ordinance and sticks them in the right of way across the street. As he's walking back to his car he simply could not resist stealing my signs though. He glanced around, grabbed one, threw it onto his back seat, then realized what I had done to it in anticipation of somebody just like him coming along. I heard a string of profanities as he hauled off down the street.

Attention All Freepers with Bush Signs in your yard:

Here are a couple "sign defense" tactics I've employed successfully over the past several years. I've seen it inconvenience many, many Democrat sign theives and even witnessed one leftist ruin the back seat of his volvo wagon when he tried to steal my sign.

1. WD-40: Buy yourself a can of WD-40 or silicon spray lubricant at the hardware store and coat your yard signs in it from top to bottom. The spray is virtually invisible to drivers passing by on the street so it won't alter your sign's appearance, but when the snotty little leftists come around to steal it they end up getting WD-40 all over themselves and their cars when they throw the stolen goods in their back seat.

2. CHEWING GUM - This one is kind of gross, but that's the point. If you have a wire frame sign dispose of your chewing gum by stretching it out placing it all over the wire. It's difficult to see at night when they come to steal the sign, but it'll be the first thing they discover when its all over them and their car.

3. FIREANTS - If you have a fireant problem in your yard hammer that wooden stake with the political sign on it right into the middle of the biggest pile. It'll stir up the ants and they'll be crawling all over the stake and even the sign itself. Anybody who steals it will end up taking a couple hundred ants along with them.

4. SYRUP - a short term alternative to the WD 40 approach. The main drawback with this one is that it will attract bugs and stuff and will make your sign pretty nasty after a couple of days. But if you're putting it out on the night before the election (which is when the 'rat sign theives are in full swing) coat your sign in syrup and leave them a nasty surprise when they pull it out of the ground.

Experiment with things like these so long as its safe. I've heard of people "booby trapping" their signs in dangerous ways but do not do this - it's dangerous to unintended others and in many places it is illegal. There is precious little that you can do to completely stop somebody who wants your sign from stealing it, but use that to your advantage. If they're gonna steal it, make them work for it! And make them severely inconvenienced by what they end up getting - e.g. a sign stuffed full of WD-40, bubble gum, fireants, coffee grinds, syrup or other nasty but generally harmless things can make a quick mess of a Kerry supporter's volvo, hybrid, or hatchback retro clunker.

Those, like me(long haired geologist in environmental field), are generally exceptions to the rule and I seriously doubt that out of any given population of say, 1000, of said reubenesque femme fatales that 999 of them are going to be pike and sword carriers under the 'Rat banner...

While checking out some bewgroups I subscribe to, I see more and more people lately posting off-topic by posting stuff about/related to the election/ Considering it was a sports newsgroup, I posted a polite (yeah, a waste of my time) notice to not post off-topic. Then I set up a filter to block my newsreader from downloading it. What kills me is how many people (overwhelmingly Kerry supporters), complained I was trampling their rights by not READING what they have to say. WHAT? One went so far as to start e-mailing me his views directly. A simple threat to his ISP and a quick addtion to the e-mail filter took care of that, but it just amazes me how these kind of people feel that you must listen to what they ghave to say, What next...two-way telescreens (that can't be shut off) in our homes like Winston Smith put up with in the book "1984"?

"I moderate a dance newsgroup, and we have a strong 'no politics' policy, because we are soooo divided politically. Three times in as many weeks I have had to clamp down on people posting inflamitory chain emails etc. Which quickly turned into Bush/Republican bashing threads.

Yep, and they were all Dems, and they all got huffy about 'freedom of speech'. It is literally like the rules don't apply to them..."

I can see one specific reason to remove signs/stickers for our side...just for the day after the election while some people go temporarily insane, then put them back up/on

I think it all has to do with a skewed view of what freedom of speech really is.....to most Dems (primarily younger ones) it means I can say whatever I want whenever I want.

You can't stop me, even if I ask you not to.
You have to interact with me with affirmation.
You have to keep buying my stuff, coming to my concerts etc.
And if you tell me that you disagree, that I am an idiot and ban me from your newsgroup, then I am trampling on your freedom of speech.

ARGGHHHH!!!

I deposited a very good check. In six days I wrote a check drawing on those funds. The check was returned as "uncollected". When I check I was told the policy was not to make funds available for 8 days.

Seperately, in Texas, I have looked into this in detail to find that in Texas the bank has ten days use of yoiur money before you can take it out.

Yet, if I write a checfk these days the clerk will hand me back the actual check after processing stating "the money has been shifted to our account now, thanks".

You figure it out.

The banks are stealing the free loan. It is really that simple.
