i am so pissed.

I work in an office complex that is right next to the interstate on a heavily traveled road. when i was at the Obama office week before last, i got an Obama Biden sign to counteract the Romney sign that was put in front of the office complex.

it's gone. it was here this morning at 8 and today at 11:20 it is GONE.

i want to go tear that fucking romney sign out and rip it to shreds.

oh and i HATE fucking republicans and their refusal to wage a campaign in a civil manner.

I hate their refusal to admit that they can't win on ideas, so they have to resort to dirty tricks, lying, cheating & stealing. It's getting harder & harder for me to respect anyone who supports this party.

of covering it in super glue. maybe even just cover it with baby oil...
i feel violated - on behalf of the campaign, and the country itself. violated by republican FUCKS and their anything goes can't sink too low approach.

It is a violation, we are dealing with thugs. Stand strong, get them back in a positive way. Post another sign, laugh at them for causing another donation and grease the new sign.

i could ruin some republican asshole's outfit. i like it. don't know if i have the guts to do it, and after all i am a democrat. we play fair. if i could make myself invisible i would definitely, positively do it.

Mix some hot sauce in the oil, this way when they touch their face or pick their nose or rub their eyes, they'll get a surprise!

8. do you think i could do that with a sharpie?
Thu Oct 18, 2012, 12:01 PM
Oct 2012

really, just a piece of paper and a little scotch tape would work....
hmmm

what i might do, is get about three of them - it's a fairly long expanse of grass. then put one directly in front of the romney sign and the other two a little ways away.

then maybe massage them all with, say, motor oil. maybe leave a note assuring the fucking thief that every sign they steal results in another donation to the obama campaign.
i don't know.
i'm not even surprised they did it. i am surprised at how pissed off i am that they did it.

it is the law of probabilities. You are dealing with a very informed public. Thanks for the unnecessary warning. Now try to play by the rules... please.

Too bad they didn't sell the little ink bags like the ones they show on movies and tv shows that get all over the bad guy when they are trying to steal something. Let the Rethug explain the stains.

"smile for the camera, THIEF!"

oh, i really like that. i think that's what i'll do, i'll go get another yard sign, and put a label on it warning whoever steals it that they are being caught on camera.

yep. maybe, definitely, that might even get the mofos to leave the sign alone.

I know what you mean. I live in Arizona, and I assume that you do not. Out here, I am surrounded by them. I have to listen to them when I watch the local news, I have to listen to them on elevators, but I am getting better at not biting my tongue. As I am sure a lot of us know, it is not just a difference in ideology; they tend to be factually misinformed. So I urinate on the opposition's campaign sings locally. I was only caught one time (I believe that I was urinating on Rick Renzi) and they were not willing to arrest me until I indicated that I would do it again. I am a reasonable man, as I am sure all of you are reasonable people. On the other hand, I do not want to be the liberal that they see in their mind's eye. The passive guy that wants to reason with them is perceived as the week guy from whom they should not expect reprisal. I used to be the person that they wish they could be, but I was never that passive guy. I used to be a Marine and there is nothing they can tell me. So you keep doing what you are doing; be reasonable, just, use sound judgement, rely on facts, be careful when arguing with fools, etc. I will be out here pissing on signs for you.

Thank you, and I feel your pain. I was stationed in Cherry Point (Havelock NC) and your struggle with low info assholes is duly noted. I did meet a few good people while i was out there, I must say. There are even good people here in AZ. I just try to be one of them.
