GOP spins Democrat’s signs (GOP Shenannigans)

Republicans posted their own political signs above, below and in front of Pederson’s campaign signs on major street corners in Scottsdale and Phoenix during the weekend.

On some corners, the Republican signs obscure the bottom of Pederson’s signs, which provide his campaign Internet address, www.pederson2006.com. The Republican-made signs proclaim, “Liberal Agenda, Supports Amnesty.” Arizona Republican Party chairman Matt Salmon approved the signs, which party spokesman Garrick Taylor said are a legitimate voter education effort.

“It’s just a simple, yet effective way of telling passers-by and potential voters of some of the distortions that the Pederson campaign is attempting to put forth,” he said.

Pederson campaign officials are checking into whether some of the signs are posted illegally. Republican signs that are physically attached to the Pederson signs may violate municipal sign laws, said Kevin Griffis, Pederson campaign spokesman.

3. they should be careful of the ideas they give us in an actvist year...

our imaginations far exceed theirs.

4. Can't run on the issues? Break the law -- it's the GOP way!

It's only primary season, and they're already rolling out their 2006 dirty tricks product line. We'll see what Garrick Taylor has to say when he's hauled into court for breaking the law. "Voter education" my ass. Yeah, and theft is simply income redistribution.

5. Does that mean we can attach "Fascism Supporter" to the GOP

candidate's signs?

6. If the Democratic signs are on private property

left there by permission, and the GOP bozos stick up their signs, couldn't they be accused of trespassing? And wouldn't the land owner have the right to destroy their signs?

7. In New Mexico, you can't post political signs on

public property, and I always assumed someone had to get permission from the owner of private property to post there. Doesn't make sense that someone who would host a Pederson sign would give permission for this repub. crap also, so these gumbas maybe breaking the law.

[0rganism]

8. Wow, so the property owner hosted the Pederson sign just to deface it?

That's new & different.

9. Childish and pathetic.

...I'm just always amazed at the cheap stunts the GOP comes up with. And more amazed at how well they work. Sadly.
