Tea party group’s message on Elkhart billboard draws fire

A tea party group’s political message on a billboard here has unified local Democrats and Republicans, generating bipartisan criticism.

The heads of the two parties here even used similar language in blasting the sign.

“I say I’m appalled,” said Dale Stickel, head of the Elkhart County Republican Party.

“I think it’s appalling,” said Shari Mellin, head of the Elkhart County Democratic Party.

The message in question, from We the People of Marshall and Fulton Counties, a tea party group, appears on a billboard at the busy intersection of Nappanee Street and John Weaver Parkway, where Nappanee curves into Bristol Street. It depicts a group of armed military men splashing through water and says this:

“The Navy SEALs removed one threat to America... The voters must remove the other.”

Pantywaist stoneless RINOpublicans like Dale can wonder why they continue to lose elections until the GOP-E goes the way of the Whigs.

[Wurlitzer]

What’s the problem? Asking the voters to remove a threat to the USA is the perfectly legal and appropriate approach. That is how it is supposed to be done.

The only thing disgusting is the GOP’s response as they are telling the good people they do not think odumbo is a threat to the USA when he clearly is.

Like more and more of us suspect, the GOP is becoming assimilated by the communists just like the Democrats.

[Venturer]

I like the sign.

I can understand Yellow dog Democrats being upset.

The Local Republican leaders are upset because they are RINO cowards, I would bet that Republicans not in the leadership don’t have a problem with it.

[Realman30]

It’s too watered down for me.

============================================

Ditto!

It could be a lot stronger. lol

Sounds good to me - of course the Rats will magnify it all out of proportion to what it is and those flaccid RINO's will echo the call.



Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[Servant of the Cross]

I find it hilarious that even the Democrat party head knows exactly WHO the billboard refers to as the other threat to America ... (without even naming him)

[mfreddy]

What is the problem with this? It clearly says voters, and what voters do is vote.

We (conservatives) have been called tea baggers, racists, bigots, homophobes et al, and the left is offended by this?

Kiss my ass.

PS: Republicans criticizing this for the sake of appearances need to pull their heads out and clarify that the policies of this president are putting the future of our nation in jeopardy and that is the meaning of this message.

So freaking tired of the left being offended every time the breeze blows.....

[I still care]

Proof again that the Republicans really don’t like the TEA party.

They are just the inconvienient date they occaisionally have to bring to the dance. Like the aunt’s daughter, and they barf and gag the whole time, but if they don’t bring her, they know all hell will break lose. As soon as they possibly can, they will ditch her.

“I say I’m appalled,” said Dale Stickel, head of the Elkhart County Republican Party.

Reminds me of John McLame critiquing Cunningham for calling the clown Baraq "HUSSEIN" Obama.

If the GOP does not want to get down and dirty with this filthy commie and his uber leftist party, then just plan on forever being out of power up there in the District of Corruption. Evil is winning.

[Gargantua]

Anyone who doesn't like this message is a drooling imbecile, and should be neutered so they cannot reproduce, tainting the rest of society with their defectively afflicted progeny.

;-\

[ScottinVA]

Should’ve said, “We the People are coming to rid ourselves of the other!”

[snuffy smiff]

I’d say this Dale Stickel clown should resign or be terminated NOW!

Along with every other spineless RINO backstabber.
(Hey, I can still dream, can’t I?)

[NTHockey]

Naw, it’s just the two factions of our one-party system joining together to trash the mutual enemy - the TEA Party.

[UncleSam]

Who can forget!

[mlizzy]

The sign is done very well. Wish we had one in Chicago.

[wordsofearnest]

I’m surprised he’s made it this long.

[Sloth]

Anything that appalls Dems & RINOs, I’m in favor of.

[Saltmeat]

I understand the statement, but I fail to see the problem.

[Nifster]

I think it is very clever....and true
