Yard sign envy or
my sign is bigger than your sign.

Have you noticed the sign war going on? Geeezzz! I have seen one clown replace his Bush/Cheney sign three times now, each time resulting in a bigger sign. This seems to happen when normal sized Kerry/Edwards signs sprout up around his house on neighbor's lawns.

His latest freaking B/C sign is huge!!!!

Meanwhile, my K/E sign is "average" sized.

3. egads!
Methinks the size of a man's yardsign must be in inverse proportion to the size of his dick. the guy probably drives a WAY TOO BIG truck or suv as well. telling. very telling.

Herbicide + Crop duster plane + Nebraska = Yard sign viewable from space.

5. buy a cheap grim reaper
and leave it next to the BC sign. Hey, you're not defacing it and besides, it's almost Halloween.

6. There is a big one on main drag - in front of it "Bush lied soldiers died"
I just love it - get a chuckle every time I see it.

11. There's a banner someone put up on their business building
right next to the Interstate here.

It says "Protect Our Troops - Dump Bush".

Pretty cool. I'd say that peerson has some pretty strong feelings because that wasn't a cheap banner to get made up. It's probably 20 ft. long.

15. This is good stuff too - really surprises the conservatives the strong
stand some people are willing to make against this president.

7. Two big Kerry signs have been up on a major road here for some time now
and I've been amazed they haven't been tampered with. Today, however, I was even more amazed to see that right next to each of them was a much BIGGER b/c sign -- each with paint sprayed on them. One said "Liar" and the other said "Step Down." There was also a third sign further down the road with a huge 'X' through it.

Have I mentioned that this is in Texas? :wow:

13. Hill Country, but not one Gore sign to be found ANYWHERE in 2000
let alone multiple, very large Kerry signs on major roads! Unreal! Yeah, we're more liberal than other parts of Texas, but still.... This is unheard of.

That said, though, I had been feeling so good about my own neighborhood only having two signs for Junior in contrast to when the place was polluted with them four years ago -- well, they've started erupting out of the ground like poisonous mushrooms in the last two days. **sigh** One step forward, two steps back. And one big Kerry sign was taken off a guardrail near here. Up and down in one day. Still, those large, painted b/c signs give me hope for the future! :toast:

I'm also betting on some creative painting being done to the big Kerry signs soon, out of revenge. It'll be worth it, though, for the sheer amazement and delight in seeing what I saw today! "Liar." "Step down." "X." ROFL!

14. hee! very good.
The guy here in Dallas with his home-made 'Flush the Two Johns' sign (complete with ACTUAL TOILET) got his sign vandalized... THREE TIMES.

Not that I approve of that or anything.... but.... dayum, they've been all stealing our signs and sh*t.... so....

My neighborhood count is like 3 Bushies to approximately 20 or 30 Kerry. Funny thing is all of the Bushies put up two. Har. Insecure much?
