Weird, isn't it? Sometimes it is predictable (I guess a sort of visual profiling or behavioral profiling, which is not a great thing to do, but I suspect we all do it a bit...), sometimes not. Finally, the Obama lawn signs are available around here, and we and our neighbor are proudly displaying each of our signs...but when you find out that the people you think may be liberal/Democratic are festooned with the RMoney signs.....hmmm. Will be interesting to see how the dialog goes the next time we run into some of them on future dog walks!

(3,657 posts)personally know they are one issue voters, abortion. There's nothing else they vote over, Fundamentalists, nice people but not too interested in any other issue.

(461 posts)near a quarter mill a year, yet they think they need to protect themselves from Obama's tax hike on the wealthy? Some friends, who aren't stupid, who make less than 100K, think the RR ticket is great. I think they are grossly misinformed.

(27,787 posts)My Obama sign is UP ... and there are 2 others.
I only know 3 of the families with the RR signs, and I'm not at all surprised. Two of them are homes of retired couples. And one is a family that reminds me of Leave it to Beaver. I don't know the other 2.
I've had the Obama magnet on the car for months. Had an Obama sign in 2008, and received my Obama signs last week, so I put that up this weekend. I bought 4 again ... in 2008 I had one stolen and put up another. That one survived ... and in the last week prior, I gave the other 2 away. Plan to do the same this time.
I have a guy down the street who used to put NOBAMA magnets on his car. He stopped using those. Now he has, I kid you not, a magnet that says "Miss me yet?" with a picture of Bush. Our daughters play on different softball teams, and I'm hoping to be parked near him after a game so I can stop, make an obvious effort to read that, and then appear to be thinking about it ... and then say ... "Let's see ... worst terrorist attack in US history, worst stock market crash since the Depression, worst housing collapse since the Depression, worst recession since the Depression, and an 8+ year trillion dollar war against the wrong country ... sorry, can't imagine anyone missing that guy."

Which I would sort of expect to be loaded with Romney supporters.

(1,922 posts)In my area, subdivisions are where one can find some pretty boring folks. I cannot imagine living in one of those things - MacMansions, tract homes, whatever.
It would suffocate me.
