Well, well, well - isn't this a cute Republican trick? (TX-22, DeLay "country")


October 31 - Well, well, well - isn't this a cute Republican trick? These guys are slimy as boiled okra.
The signs (see below) including the one about Democrats being terrorists were not the work of a lone Republican nutcase. No, siree.
Take a little lookie right here at this PDF. It seems that Mr. Pressler got $2,800 from Commissioner Andy Meyers to pay for these signs, and according to the Texas Ethics Commission there are plenty more signs to come.
Hey Andy, Mr. Christian Coalition, when Sweet Jesus comes back, He's gonna be plenty hacked about your signs. I'm personally telling Him about them. I'm also going to point you out in the crowd. Maybe you can use those signs to build a shelter when you're left behind.
... There was another one (sorry, no picture) at Garcia Middle School that said Democrats are for the Terrorists. The school took it down. Many of their students are from the mideast.
They have another one that less offensive, but very stupid. It’s says, Want Higher Taxes? Vote Democrat. Geezzeee, how ‘bout that national debt? Hate Your Grandchildren? Vote Republican.

2. Ugh. I wish someone in the Dem party would sink to their level, at
least for a week. I just hope most people aren't so easily duped.

8. No hyphen on the sign.
I guess that's how they're getting around the problem of the voting machine not having a hyphen (at least that's what I read here).

3. I'm in love with that crazy lady, Juanita
Edited on Tue Oct-31-06 08:11 PM by BrotherBuzz
I don't think the white-wing republicans from the 22nd district share my enthusiasm, but she has done a terrific job exposing the dirt, and reasonable people are listening. :rofl:

4. Damn that sign wouldn't last long in my neck of the woods
Those will probably backfire. Or spawn a whole new generation of really nasty ads. Snicker... Can you imagine if all the campaign ads sounded like that? People would be getting in wrecks, punching each other out at the stoplights...sorry, I'm getting carried away.

One could paint over the white letters with red spray paint, I suppose...

7. Way to piss off 49% of Texans
49%
The percentage of the Hispanic-origin population that lives in California or Texas. California is home to 12.4 million Hispanics, and Texas is home to 7.8 million.

Keep it up GOP. Use all the rope you need. :)

23. You mean Bob Perry. The biggest builder in H-Town is actually
a very Dem-my company, and not based here at all.

14. because this crap does NOT play well in most of America...
The days of pandering to the lowest slug in the room, secure in the knowledge that it won't filter back to the "nice, polite" people you also need are OVER, ROVER!

19. UH OH! The PLOT THICKENS! New info:
Edited on Tue Oct-31-06 08:50 PM by elehhhhna
Take a look at the sign here. See something on the ground behind the “Illegals” sign? Go ahead, I’ll wait and be here when you get back.
That little tad of blue got me pondering. I drove over to the sign site just to check and see if it was what I thought it was.
It is.
It’s a "Republicans for Bob Smithers" sign. These sons-of-a- motherless-goat Republicans cut down a Bob Smithers sign, stole his t-posts, and put up this rotten “Illegals” sign.
I guess what bother me most is that these signs were paid for by us - the taxpayers - because Commissioner Andy Meyers is the campaign contribution kickback king. You know he paid for this out of his campaign slush fund.
Expect them plastered all over the county this weekend. Expect me to go to jail for cutting them down.
