KERRY/EDWARDS WILL WIN PENNSYLVANIA
THE MAJORITY OF PENNSYLVANIANS DON'T BUY INTO THE BUSH/CHENEY GANG'S LIE MACHINE OR DIRTY TRICKS.

They are doing the same here in the central part of the state, BUT we are fighting back if you know what I mean......
BTW the kerry yard signs I gave out are durable plastic and slip over the metal pole. I tell the people to take them off at night and slip them on in the morning.

Yes, let's compare the stealing of signs....that Independants could have removed to:
The shootings in two republican campaign offices....
The theft of three laptops from a republican campaign headquarters.....
The nasty article on the Guardian [a left wing site] that asked "where are the assassins" [then listing names like Hinckley] "when they are needed"....directed at the life of this President.

I personally believe that the democrats have acted in a MOST desperate way with all the hatred they've displayed during this administration and I like the way David Horowitz summed their actions up.

In 200 years of this nation's political history, there has never been a hate campaign as massive, as nasty, and as personally vicious as the one directed against President George Bush.
Part of this hate is a product of the generic politics of destruction practiced by Democratic Party leaders in every election cycle as a matter of course. In the 2000 campaign the Democrats placed ads in black communities across the country accusing the President of killing a black lynch victim "a second time." They even got the daughter of the lynch victim to do the dirty work voice over for them.
This year the Democrat who would be President is touring the country telling black audiences that George Bush won the election in Florida by "stealing one million black votes" – an ugly, racially divisive and mendacious charge which, if Republicans were behind it would elicit howls of foul play from the nation's (leftwing) press, instead of their present discreet silence on the subject. Not a single actual victim of such theft has been identified by civil rights organizations or the Kerry campaign because none exists. The Civil Rights Commission and the press investigated these charges at the time and found them baseless. As of course they would, since all the contested precincts in the Florida recount were in Democratic counties.
But it is the specifically personal attacks on Bush that reveal the ferocious insanity of liberal hate in this political season. For two years, George Bush has been derided as a "moron," a "dummy," and a Cheney "puppet" by liberal elites, even though his college test scores rank him in the top 10 percent of the nation, and even though newspapers such as The Philadelphia Inquirer give him full credit for orchestrating his own alleged vendettas. He has been accused of being a military "deserter" despite the failure of the media to prove this charge in four election campaigns, despite his logging 574 air hours in a plane dangerous enough to be referred to as "the widow-maker," and despite his honorable discharge from the service.
As President, he has been denounced as a traitor who has "betrayed" Americans, a liar, a corrupt manipulator who misled America and sent its young and innocent to battle in full knowledge that their mission was fraudulent and their deaths needless. It has been charged that the sole reason he sent the young to die was to line the pockets of his corporate Texas cronies. He has been accused in advance of being responsible for any dirty nuclear bomb that terrorists detonate in the United States. And these are merely the attacks originating with Al Gore and Ted Kennedy to be spread then through the Democratic ranks. Not a single Democrat, by the way, has stood up to deplore the recklessness of these smears, or to speculate on how such attacks might affect the fortunes of the troops under the President's command. Instead of fulfilling their role as neutral arbiters of the facts, the media have regularly given these destructive and despicable accusations a free pass.
The personal attacks on Bush began even before the war in Iraq started -- a war which was authorized and justified by Bill Clinton and Al Gore and ratified by the majority of congressional Democrats in the Iraqi Liberation Act of 1998; then ratified again in the congressional Authorization of Force Act of October 2002. John Kerry signed on to both resolutions before he turned his back on them because Howard Dean was passing him in the polls. These attacks on a President carrying out a bipartisan policy began with an unconscionable personal strike by Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle on the very eve of the war. Even as our troops moved into harm's way to enforce United Nations Resolution 1441 – an ultimatum that called on Saddam to disarm or else -- Daschle claimed that Bush's "failed diplomacy," not Saddam's intransigence, was responsible for the war.
I have been invited to respond to today's Inquirer editorial, which takes aim not at the Democrat hate mongers, but at their target, describing him as a vindictive politician with an "enemies list." How's that for a fair-minded press! Inquirer editors have every right to be partisan, but what kind of judgment would make a man more sinned against than sinning, and responsible for the security of us all, the butt of an editorial like this?
The Inquirer editorial rehashes a discredited canard about Joseph Wilson and his wife who, it claims, were punished by Bush for revealing that he had lied about Saddam's attempt to get nuclear materials from Niger. Yet a bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee investigated Wilson's charges and rejected them, concluding that the President's statement was "well-founded." Wilson's story was evidently a political dirty trick to undermine the rationale for the war, but the media are so consumed by their own anti-Bush passions that they can't even play fair a year and a half later, when the accusation they endorsed turns out to be false.
If George Bush loses this election to a man who has been on all sides of the issue of war and peace, and has shifted his positions according to which way the political winds blow, Americans will surely suffer consequences in the coming months of the war on terror. But then they will have only themselves to blame, along with media that did not meet their most fundamental obligation to stay above the political fray and tell the American people the truth.

My neighbors had a giant Bush/Cheney sign in their front yard that was smashed apart last Thursday night. And this is a republican neighborhood. The local republican HQ told me to bring my Bush/Cheney sign in each night because of so many Bush/Cheney sign thefts.

The Guardian is a UK site that many lefties here have copied and pasted articles from....
This is posted for the record of just how low the left continues to go.

Guardian columnist: Where are the assassins when we need them?
Francis Till
Following closely on the heels of its disastrous attempt to meddle in the US elections through a letter writing campaign, the Guardian has published a column that appears to plead for an assassin to come forward and kill President George W Bush.
It could represent a new low in mainstream media commentary.
The columnist, Charlie Brooker, apparently reviews television programmes for the Guardian.
In his October 3 column, Dumb Show, Mr Brooker reviews the debates between Mr Kerry and Mr Bush and finds both candidates lacking -- but reserves a particularly venomous evaluation for Mr Bush.
He writes: Throughout the debate, John Kerry, for his part, looks and sounds a bit like a haunted tree. But at least he's not a lying, sniggering, drink-driving, selfish, reckless, ignorant, dangerous, backward, drooling, twitching, blinking, mouse-faced little cheat. And besides, in a fight between a tree and a bush, I know who I'd favour. Fair enough, if a bit over the top.
But his closing paragraph has set the internet's blogging community ablaze -- and some have speculated that an outage that hit the website early today was caused by a retaliatory hacker attack.
In that passage, Mr Brooker writes: On November 2, the entire civilised world will be praying, praying Bush loses. And Sod's law dictates he'll probably win, thereby disproving the existence of God once and for all. The world will endure four more years of idiocy, arrogance and unwarranted bloodshed, with no benevolent deity to watch over and save us. John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, John Hinckley Jr - where are you now that we need you?
As one American blogger queried, incredulously: "one has to ask, if the person in charge of Guardian UK has gone stark, starting, raving mad?"
But the well known Powerline Blog perhaps summed it up best: "This is, of course, where the liberal campaign of hatred and violence has been going for some time. I do think it is likely that someone will get killed; I hope it isn't President Bush. One can only wonder: if such a tragedy occurs, will the liberals come to their senses?"

This reply is for members of the Bush/Cheney Gang's lie machine.
In 200 years of this nation's political history, there has never been a hate campaign as massive, as nasty, and as personally vicious as the one directed against John Kerry and John Edwards by the Bush/Cheney Gang's Lie Machine.
Part of this hate and scare is a product of the Vice President Dick Cheney and is practiced by Republican Party leaders in every part of the U.S.
This year George Bush is touring the country telling black audiences that he and his gang will win the election by "stealing 10 million Kerry/Edwards signs "
But it is the specifically personal attributes about Bush that reveal the insanity of his elite base of supporters. George Bush has time and again proved himself as a "moron," a "dummy," and a Cheney "puppet".
As President, Bush has been denounced as a traitor who has "betrayed" Americans, a liar, a corrupt manipulator who misled America and sent its young and innocent to battle in full knowledge that their mission was fraudulent and their deaths needless. It has been charged that the sole reason he sent the young to die in Iraq was to line the pockets of his corporate cronies.
Words similar to these were posted by a ILL member of the Bush/Cheney Gang's Lie machine. I found it very easy to change a few words to better fit the TRUTH ABOUT BUSH/CHENEY AND THEIR LIE MACHINE.
JOHN KERRY AND JOHN EDWARDS WILL WIN PENNSYLVANIA.

twig125silver, around where I live its only the Kerry/Edwards signs that have been taken and or destroyed. The smarter Democrats and like minded Republicans here have left the bush signs "standing strong and staying the course" WHILE FLIP FLOPPING BACK AND FORTH WITH THE WIND. LOL. Like bush says about the mess in Iraq we Democrats and like minded Republicans realize "its only a few bad people doing bad things" LOL
JOHN KERRY AND JOHN EDWARDS WILL WIN PENNSYLVANIA.

People from both sides of the fence are acting crazy. Not one more than the other. Stealing or destroying signs is so juvenile it doesn't deserve comment. Everyone here knows how I feel about the laying sack of you-know-what Bush, but I will never agree that it's right to steal signs from people just because their choice is not yours. I don't think anyone here thinks that it's right either.
IMO, instead of continuing to spread the hate, I'd prepare for all out war in this country and not by any terrorist organization. The last time the country was this divided and this hateful toward one another was during the Civil War. History does repeat itself and if anyone thinks it could never happen here again, you'd better get your head out of the sand.
Thanks to this administration, we have become EXACTLY what bin Laden wanted us to - a country divided.

This concern about vandals stealing signs is silly in light of increasing danger from terrorism in our country and the Mid East. Today, for example, we learn that Bush has allowed 380 tons of powerful explosives to disappear from Iraq. By losing these weapons, all of our troops in Iraq are in serious danger. The explosives can be used to demolish buildings, make missile warhead and detonate nuclear weapons.
Incredibly, the International Atomic Energy Commission and European Union officials warned Bush before the war that these explosives needed to be safeguarded.
How can anyone believe that Bush is making us safer??? Now, by this neglect, he has facilitated the spread of terrorism across the mid east.
posted on October 25, 2004 06:31:46 AM new
From the New York Times...
"The immediate danger" of the lost stockpile, said an expert who recently led a team that searched Iraq for deadly arms, "is its potential use with insurgents in very small and powerful explosive devices. The other danger is that it can easily move into the terrorist web across the Middle East."
More worrisome to the I.A.E.A. - and to some in Washington - is that HMX and RDX are used in standard nuclear weapons design. In a nuclear implosion weapon, the explosives crush a hollow sphere of uranium or plutonium into a critical mass, initiating the nuclear explosion.
A crude implosion device - like the one that the United States tested in 1945 in the New Mexican desert and then dropped on Nagasaki, Japan - needs only about a ton of high explosive to crush the core and start the chain reaction.

Plus...It would take forty trucks to haul this stuff away...while nobody was guarding the material.

The government has been sitting on this information about the missing explosives for a few weeks now..... maybe longer. I wonder how they will try to explain how this happened and what kind of spin they will put on it?
Bush and his supporters keep saying that the world is now a safer place since they took out Saddam. Ya, right.

There have been countless reports of sign stealing during this election campaign from both Republicans and Democrats. A private investigator hired to track down the person responsible for taking Republican campaign signs in one Colorado Springs neighborhood caught the culprit on tape and made a surprising discovery.
The woman caught taking down Bush/Cheney and Pete Coors signs turned out the be the wife of the only Democratic state representative from El Paso County. Rep. Mike Merrifield, D-Manitou Springs, confirms that it was his wife who was caught taking the signs.

Katherine Harris's Car Trouble
Cops: Florida man tried to run down controversial Republican
OCTOBER 27--A Florida man has been charged with attempting to run over controversial Republican congresswoman Katherine Harris with his Cadillac. According to the below Sarasota Police Department report, Barry Seltzer, 46, told cops that he was simply exercising his "political expression" when he drove his car at Harris and several supporters, GOTTA JUST LOVE THAT DEMOCRAT'S REASONING ABILITY who were campaigning last night at a Sarasota intersection.
Seltzer--pictured at right in a booking photo--allegedly drove up on a sidewalk and headed directly for Harris before swerving "at the last minute." Harris told officers that "she was afraid for her life and could not move as the vehicle approached her," according to the report.
For his part, Seltzer--who's a registered Democrat--told cops, "I intimidated them with the car. They were standing in the street." He added, "I did not run them down, I scared them a little!"
That explanation did not stop investigators from arresting Seltzer for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a felony. Harris, Florida's former secretary of state, is best known for her role in the aftermath of the state's disastrous 2000 presidential election. (3 pages)

Linda, I don't recall you--or any other neocon that posts here--being upset in a similar episode involving a neocon farmer. Remember? The guy who said that dumping manure all over a public street to deter a gay rights parade was a legitimate way of expressing his political beliefs...
This just seems more of the same from the other direction, to me.

And, just like that farmer, I sincerely hope this guy is man enough to take his punishment. He's a liberal weenie? OK, his mother then, since it's all her fault.

Woman Arrested For Stealing Signs Speaks Out By Maria Tsataros
First Coast News
FRUIT COVE, FL -- Fabiola Armitage is back on television, only instead of a campaign ad the focus has been on her mugshot.
Armitage is a Kerry supporter and a strong believer in stem cell research. She's featured in an advertisement urging Floridians to vote against Amendment 3 on this year's ballot. The amendment would cap how much money a lawyer can make from a medical malpractice lawsuit.
St. Johns County Sheriff Deputies arrested Armitage for grand theft and battery this week. They say she had 78 campaign signs supporting George Bush and Mel Martinez in her trunk. Armitage tells First Coast News that she "was told by code enforcement that would be okay, to pick them off, to remove them from the right-of-way."
James Acosta, head of St. Johns County enforcement says that Armitage was "advised not to collect the campaign signs. We asked that she notify us of the area and we would send a crew to pick them up."
Armitage says she saw hundreds of Bush/Cheney signs illegally placed on State Road 13 and along Race Track Road. She admits to collecting as many as she could, saying she didn't know what to do with them and that "I thought it was okay to keep them."
James Acosta says keeping the signs is illegal.
Armitage was released from the St. Johns County Jail this morning. She's charged with grand theft for having those signs. She's also charged with battery after a woman who confronted Armitage about taking the signs claimed Armitage opened her car door and hit the woman in the back.
