Polite approached Stoltzfus on Nov. 12 and ask him to remove the pictures. The standholder has refused to do so, prompting Polite to say he will ask City Council to change the law so that all political items would be banned in public places.

Polite says political items do not belong in Central Market and if Stoltzfus refuses to take down the photos, he’ll take the matter before City Council to get the city law changed to ban all political items in public places.

“There should be rules,’’ says Polite.

And when re-election time comes I am sure Polite will not put up any campaign material or signs in public places. After all, "there should be rules."

Of course, as politicians have done since the beginning of time, he will have the law written to exempt politicans campaign material.

This is hilarious! What a great article to post--thanks!

I can't believe that petty little democrat politician is trying to strong-arm the market...what a clymer!

[Sunshine Sister]

Sounds like someone has a knot is his BVD's! What a hoot!

[alancarp]

I think I know what this thread needs:

[YouPosting2Me]

The market is public property and ...

Isn't the Office of the President a 'public' position?

[Tempest]

Wow this really goes beyond the pale. The democrats have really hit a new level of facist nuttiness with this one.

[GraniteStateConservative]

When he approached Stoltzfus three weeks ago, he said the photo offended him and city Democrats.

Polite says he had received complaints from constituents who thought the photos were inappropriate, especially after the presidential election.

FReepers should give this guy all the business he could want. It's worth it to keep hearing liberals whine. Hilarious.

Call the Waaambulance, Polite.

[First_Salute]

Bump.

“There should be rules,’’ says Polite.

Sounds like there should be a petiton to have this guys last name changed to something more appropriate...like Nasty.

Bush may not have won Lancaster City but he won the county 2-1.

Good men (and women) like Stolzfus helped.

Jim Zink, the owner of the Herb Shop stand, says he is a Democrat. But he’ll hang a photo of Bush to support Stoltzfus’ right to hang his.

I'm very touched by that comment. After having shrieking radical leftists shoved in our faces for the past couple of years it's easy to lose sight of the fact that some Democrats may actually be sane. Thank you, Jim Zink. You're a great American.

Stoltzfus, who operates the Upper Crust stand.

"Upper Crust" -- a perfect name for the evil rich Republicans .... LOL

[Question_Assumptions]

Hmmm. I think I'm suddenly in favor of putting George W. Bush's face on the $20 bill...

[Echo Talon]

I don't think Polite is being very polite...

[Clioman]

“There should be rules,’’ says Polite.

Absolutely. Rule 1: Re-read the lst Amendment. Rule 2: Change your last name to something that more accurately describes your brown-shirt attitude.

[ol' hoghead]

This sounds like a bad case of "Sore-Loserman" to me.

ol' hoghead

[JennysCool]

Remember that guy who sued some years ago because Mary Hart's voice drove him crazy? Sounds like Polite is cut from the same cloth.

[Robert A Cook PE]

“There should be rules,’’ says Polite.

Rules?

Thought there was a "Rule" about political speech.

(The First Amendment is still in the Constitution Sir Billybob, isn't it?)

[EggsAckley]

Dear Mr. Polite,

Bush won...........get over it.

[angkor]

Does this whacko suggest that all pictures of presidents, mayors, and governors (and City Councilmen) should also be removed from all state, county, and city office buildings?

No, I didn;t think so.

[Patti_ORiley]

Polite is quite a rude dude.

By his logic, no images of President Bush should be shown on public TV, hung in court houses, or in police stations.

Don't you just love it when the libs show what they're made of!
