Some folks know how to lose...gracefully...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

This banner is the work of the South Bay Republicans...

The building is where they had their McCain Headquarters...

[Lerkfish]

1. wow, that's impressive

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. I thought so too...

I spotted it yesterday, and decided it was definitely worth a picture...

And I was hoping they wouldn't have taken it down!

[Howardx]

13. is that in redondo?

looks familiar, is it right by how's market?

[JuniperLea]

16. I was thinking it was near Whole Foods

I miss Redondo.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. Nope, not Redondo...

This is in Torrance, at the corners of Hawthorne Blvd. and Lomita Blvd.

The view is facing SW...

[Howardx]

45. ah ha!

know the area well.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

47. I lived in Torrance from the 2nd grade through 6th grade

That was back when no one had a color TV unless you were "rich." ;)

[JuniperLea]

57. I lived in Lomita in those days...

And we had an old black and white Zenith for the longest time! We got a color TV before a lot of my friends did... only because my grandpa was a TV and stereo repair man and he fixed one up that one of his customers was getting rid of. Here's what the remote control looked like... yeah! Remote freaking control! We were stylin'!

[mitchum]

2. ...and then there is Sarah Palin...

blaming everyone but herself
She is certainly a loser, but there is nothing graceful about her

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. I agree...

Distinctly not a graceful loser...

Not like these folks!

[JuniperLea]

12. There is no grace in stupidity...

The poor vapid moose-killer doesn't even realize she's a joke and the world is laughing at her. All she knows is there's a 20% (plus or minus) portion of American society as vacuous as she who LURVE her! She's playing to the base whilst entertaining the rest of us.

[riqster]

4. Thanks, that was much needed nt

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. I'm glad I spotted it!

You're welcome...

[riqster]

26. In Ohio, the Reeps are still yearning for the 'good old days'

...of one-party rule. Theirs. I am glad to see that it's not the same way everywhere.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

43. There's a new day in Ohio, according to my friends there...

I think the Republicans will see the writing on the wall soon!

:hi:

[riqster]

44. Well, the dawn is slooooooowly rising here for we Buckeyes

...and that is a good thing. :toast:


The Reeps have not moderated their behavior as yet, which has actually helped Dems to grow their presence in a lot of key areas. In a way, it's kind of a good thing that the Buckeye Reeps are acting like sphincters. ;)

[JuniperLea]

5. Good for them!

I'm proud to be a South Bay native!

Now if we can just teach those guys who smashed out car windows in Torrance to get a clue.

One at a time, I suppose. This banner sets a great example!

Thanks for this, CaliforniaPeggy!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. Yeah, the Torrance incidents disturbed me as well...

You're welcome!

:hi:

[azmouse]

7. That gives me hope for this country.

:hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. Me too!

:hi:

[Hekate]

9. In that case, let me shake their hand

:hi:

Hekate

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. Go for it!

:hi:

[AtomicKitten]

10. That's lovely!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. It IS!

:hi:

Thank you!

[Lionel Mandrake]

11. Republicans being nice?

Somehow I didn't expect that.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

25. I was genuinely surprised as well...

Hence the pictures!

:hi:

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

14. Am I reading this correctly?

I'm looking and looking, but I can't find any misspellings.

[JuniperLea]

18. Nice Republicans who can spell!

A rare breed!

:rofl:

[struggle4progress]

50. It's like returning home after eight years in The Twilight Zone: kinda disorienting

[wildflower]

19. Since the election, I've noticed that some Republicans...

really do believe in supporting the president, right or wrong. However we may feel about that concept, I commend their consistency, and graciousness. This is nice to see. Thank you so much for posting it.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

29. My pleasure!

I was totally surprised at this...

It's a very pleasant reminder that there are some decent Republicans around...

This area is not noted (for the most part) for extremists at either end of the political spectrum.

[JeffR]

23. Thanks Peggy! Always nice to be reminded that "Republican"

doesn't always equate to "hopeless dickhead".

[CaliforniaPeggy]

30. Ah, you're welcome!

I was so pleased to spot this yesterday...

I don't get through this intersection very often; I could easily have missed it!

:hi:

[NanceGreggs]

24. Now that's a lovely sight!

Thanks for sharing this with us, CalPeg!!!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

31. Glad you agree, my dear Nance!

My pleasure, as always...

:hug:

[AlCzervik]

27. Kudos to them.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

34. Absolutely!

:hi:

[Coexist]

28. that is awesome.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

35. Thanks...I agree!

:hi:

[wroberts189]

32. That doesn't sound like them at all ...

I am sorry ... pubs just do not do this type of thing. Not any I know at least.

But if they did ..I give them props.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

37. They really did do this...

And how do I know?

Right below the banner, you can see the office where there are still some flag banners up...

A couple of friends of mine went in there to scope out the McCain headquarters while it was active...

So we know they put up this banner...

This area is known for moderates on both sides of the aisle...

36. What wonderful grace and class

Kudos to those Republicans for their decency, integrity and class.

That really touched my heart. Thanks Peggy

[CaliforniaPeggy]

40. My dear socialdemocrat...

I thought so too...

It also touched me...that's why I went today to get these pictures...

You're welcome, sweetie...


:hug:

[progressoid]

38. Those aren't cheap. I'd wager it was the building owner or landlord that put up the sign.

As soon as the GOP lease was up they put up the banner. :shrug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

41. I doubt it...

The landlord of that building is a Republican...

And I believe he was involved in McCain's campaign...

[nini]

46. It was provided by a Democrat - here's the story

http://www.dailybreeze.com/ci_10912047?IADID=Search-www.dailybreeze.com-www.dailybreeze.com

[progressoid]

48. Thanks for the info! Democratic banner on a Republican building. Cool!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

49. Thanks, nini...

I hadn't seen that story...

[specimenfred1984]

39. (D)s probably picked up their lease, I doubt it's repukes who put it up

The repukes were busy with their "you're a terrorist" propaganda, just in case anyone forgot for 1 second what lowlife scumbags repukes actually are.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

42. I don't think so!

The owner of the building is a Republican...

And my area is not known for extremists on either side of the aisle...

[graywarrior]

51. Classy!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

52. My dear graywarrior!

See post #46, by nini...

Apparently the banner was put up by the Democrats, after having asked the Republican owner of the building...

Well, at least they agreed to do it!

[graywarrior]

53. Ohhhhhh. Interesting

[City Lights]

54. Very nice!

:thumbsup:

And surprising considering they're Republicans. ;-)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

55. Well, I was wrong about who put it up...

Read post #46 to see who really did...

It's still a nice banner, dammit!

:hi:

[City Lights]

58. Oh well...no surprise afterall.

;-)

You're right though, it's a great banner. :hi:

[Orsino]

56. Ha! All your base!

But that's a nice gesture.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

59. That it is!

:hi:

[TK421]

60. Very cool! I'm glad the sign didn't say "BUY GUNZ NOWW!!!!@$"

Thanks Peggy!
