"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.

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A PRIVATE CITIZEN, NOT THE REPUBLICANS.]]>

http://www.plime.com/politics/l/69230/1/rss0_91.rss#q19« zebrahdh : Republicans were in office when it happened. Right?I'm not sure I understand your point.]]>http://www.plime.com/politics/l/69230/1/rss0_91.rss#q18http://www.plime.com/politics/l/69230/1/rss0_91.rss#q17« 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.]]>http://www.plime.com/politics/l/69230/1/rss0_91.rss#q16

stay focused America

I have to commute past it every day and it makes me sick. One day I'm just gonna paint over the whole thing.]]>http://www.plime.com/politics/l/69230/1/rss0_91.rss#q15« BrownTrout : Yep... lets string up the entire Republican party because one jackass puts up a few ill conceived billboards.

Democrats and Republicans ... two ugly sides of the same coin! Designed specifically to keep the people bickering and fighting over insignificant differences while the real decisions are made in haste and secrecy ... or just ignored all together. Ahhhhmerika! Gotta love it.Umm... Saying things like "Ahhhhmerika" doesn't really help change the uncivil and repulsive stuff, dude.

It is actually part of the problem.]]>http://www.plime.com/politics/l/69230/1/rss0_91.rss#q13« BrownTrout : Politics as a whole have become so uncivil and repulsive in this country, it's a wonder anyone wants to participate at all.Wonder no more sir, for the participants themselves are what make it uncivil and repulsive.

This makes no more sense than when the Democrats ran ads saying that electing a Republican president will result in the burning of black churches.

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."]]>http://www.plime.com/politics/l/69230/1/rss0_91.rss#q10
