I drove through Bachman's district today....whew...

certain segments of I-94 have a 10=one ratio of Bachman to Graves (her dfl opponent) lawn signs along the freeway. but these were not "yard" signs; They were posted at the edge of huge farm fields and would have required more effort to get them there. Translation: ne loopy family loaded the truck full of them and went on a "black opps/ ,mission

there was one interesting sign....red house paint on an aging piece of lumber: "Stop Obama Socialism."

Gawd but she is awful....made a terrific fool of herself on an MPR "debate" last week in which she clumsily tried to avoid giving a straight answer to ANY question....

i will be so, so so pleased to see her kicked out of office....

Such a concentration of STUPID is dangerous ... and I'd avoid spending even a penny there like it was a big WalMart.

Where I live in Redondo Beach CA, a scumbag named Craig Huey (Baby Huey in my household) is running for state assembly after losing in a run for Congress last election cycle. He is a Teabagger running on the "More Jobs, Less Government" theme, wow taking real a stand there...

Anyway, his signs seem to be everywhere but if you look closely they are mainly on medians along the road or the edges of private property etc. There are definitely some on people's actual lawns, those lawns duly noted by me for when I walk my dog, (cough, cough) three times per day for the rest of my life, thank you. But the vast majority are just planted by some subordinates wherever they can, at night probably.

I mentioned in another thread that we should find out who he has "doing" his sign placement and hire them away from him for our team the next time because they are very good at it!!! LOL

If Bachman loses, it would be truly a CHANGE election, go GRAVES!!!

Bumper sticker for Graves:

GRAVES, CAN YA DIG IT???

Sorry, its late...

This is Americas intelligence test.

If we pass we get to advance to the future.

If we lose we get to relive the last 100 years

The Supreme Court lasts almost forever.

Let's see if there really are two Americas.

VOTE!

if the tests (votes) are graded accurately.

i don't know how we can be sure that is done.

but we DO need to make sure that those who suppress the vote, those who tell lies about the ability to vote, those who would discard legitimate votes, those who would manipulate the vote, those who would essentially "own" the voting machines for the purpose of manipulating the votes, those who would create the programs that manipulate the vote, they are all systematically trying to perpetrate a coup that overthrows the legitimately elected government of the United States of America.

THAT IS TREASON, by the broad definition. and those who participate in any part of it should be prosecuted to the fullest.

these people need to be identified, prosecuted and jailed.

and the democratic party needs to make sure that happens, rather than just make a few noises, then do nothing.

that "army of lawyers" that we have on the ground in certain states need to be active in every state, and DO what they are supposed to do. if they fail, it will be the end of the democratic party.

it is time for the people to take back control of this country.

and this is our last chance.

The incumbents probably either don't feel the need for the sign, or are too embarrassed to admit their loyalty publicly.

i am just joking about the signs,voting rights are one of our most sacred rights,men and women have been insulted and killed to get it.our duty is to preserve it.if it were not so precious,they would not try to take it away.

and WellstoneDem was merely pointing out that another viewpoint was to work and put time in to defeat her and actually try to stem the "stupid" coming from this place. Or, I missed the point and am wrong...

The exurbanites are the racist white folks who "got away" from Minneapolis because of all the "thugs" turning it into "Murderapolis".

These are the assholes who call Keith Ellison a "terrorist".

I was stunned to hear on the news last night that he was coming to St Cloud because Minnesota is in play for Romney. What a crock. He is going there to help Jim Graves defeat the wicked witch of the Midwest.
