Sign wars

Freepers pay no attention to the 70% approval polls, paying time instead to a much more important metric: campaign signs. Law may say you have to take them down after the election, but Freepers are taking solace wherever they can find it.


jessduntno knows what's going on, and he can see the future:

Buyers remorse...wait until it becomes apparent how out of his depth he is...it will get REALLY ugly...

silverleaf starts rational be then...

They won

Who needs signs

besides keeping them up is often against local ordinances.
I’m trying to remember some of the grander houses that had these signs posted, so maybe someday, when the dark and cold take over, I can send them a letter of congratulations for their choice

Viking2002 observes the revers phenomenon:

No, down here in Alabammy, they've been arrogantly popping up like fungus on everything since Il Duce scammed his way into office. It's been the McCain/Palin signs that have turned to vapor.

MrB again pipes up with something mostly off topic:

I am meeting some real internal resistance to being affable to people with 0bama stickers.
Supporting 0bama “constitutes material cooperation with intrinsic evil”.

austinaero sees the resistance everywhere!

I noticed a curious thing regarding signs and I posted it here a week or so ago.
There were scarce few O signs in my neighborhood to begin with and they are all gone.
However, a lot of us still have our McCain/Palin signs out. Isn’t that interesting? I think it’s like some silent support network, or a smattering of solidarity.

Some call it sour grapes, others call it solidarity.
