2008-07-18T23:45:45+01:002008-07-18T23:45:45+01:00Businessman Mike Meehan says he has put up three billboards such as this one around Orlando, Florida.
"Please Don't Vote for a Democrat" reads the type over the picture of the twin towers after hijacked airliners hit them on September, 11, 2001.

2008-07-19T21:08:35+01:002008-07-19T21:08:35+01:00« pocksucket : I don't think anyone's stringing up the Republicans - just this one fool.

Certainly no-one in this thread anyway, and the initial post is at pains to point out this is someone acting of his own violition, not for the party.Maybe not in this thread but this particular story has been thoroughly plastered on the news channels over the last few days. The implication being that this represents the GOP's stand on things in the upcoming general election.

I wasn't directing that comment towards anyone here but I maintain that this (like many other "individual" incidents in both parties) is on the fast track to being overblown and overhyped in the media... at the expense of REAL news and REAL issues that Americans should be considering before they cast a vote.]]>292539

Democrats and Republicans ... two ugly sides of the same coin!

Still, someone would have to be pretty stupid for something like that to sway his/her vote.I have learned a valuable lesson in life: never underestimate the stupidity of people, especially in large groups.

To quote Einstein (possibly, I've seen so many versions I have no idea if he actually said it or not):

"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe."]]>292356
