Stealing campaign signs a cowardly act

Last week a thief came on my land and stole property from me. The thief took two Obama for President signs. The thief tried to take more than my property. The thief tried to take my right of free speech under the First Amendment.
I am a retired U.S. Army helicopter pilot with two tours in Vietnam, and some low life believes I do not have this right I fought for. I would like to meet this sneak thief who steals in the dead of the night.
This is a thief who does not believe in the right of the American people to express themselves. This is not an American. This is a traitor who does not believe in the U.S. Constitution or the rule of law.
Shame on you. Shame on your kind.

Hey copper, thanks. I’m actually not trying to argue with these guys. I am trying to get the actual facts about the two currently campaining candidates out there in case there are undecided voters looking for informed help. They (wave, howiseeit, etc.)keep going back to Bush, who is not running. REPEAT: BUSH IS NOT TRYING TO GET REELECTED!! Sorry - a bit frustrated. These guys are stuck in a time warp. The mainstream media is not reporting the truth, so it’s up to you and I and others to try to get it out there through venues like this. Thanks for your efforts. I hope you, like me, won’t give up until all the votes are cast and the election is over. Have you noticed how sane the conservatives seem, and how drugged out and looney MOST of the liberals responding on here sound? They remind me of my drugging days, thinking I sounded like I was making sense, so proud of my incredible brilliance…

How blind are you to NOT see what has happened to our country since BUSH took office??? Oh yeah, it’s somehow Clinton’s fault or some little terrorist over on the other side of the world (that the military trained and armed). Bush as governor of Texas drained our state of its wealth, then went on to drain the national government and use its power for their use. They call anyone opposing this as liberals and anti-american or un patriotic. I find NOTHING patriotic in fighting a war for interests of the wealthy. Those in power are draining the economic/corporate systems now. They spew fear at you and lies and you eat them up and become their puppets. It’s time for change and Obama has my vote and that of the majority. I’m glad I still live in a country that WILL be big and powerful and protect against corporate greed and represent all the people. Comment all you want, but the voters will decide (by even MORE than you “think” are invalid).

Geriberi, don’t waste your time on blind Obama followers like “buddy” and “wave”. You can point out as many facts about Obama, Chris Dodd, Barney Franks and other corrupt democrats and they will deny, deny, deny, the facts. Bush will continue to get blamed by them, yet they see video footage and records of special mortgage deals for Dodd and Franks saying Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are sound and solid. This was the democrats cash cow, all of them receiving kickbacks. Obama was the number two receiver of donations from Fannie and Freddie behind Dodd, facts are hard to ignore, but the blind continue on. Don’t waste your energy on blind followers, talk to open minded folks who havn’t decided who to vote for yet. No matter what Obama does or how many domestic terrorists he associates with they will have an excuse. CHANGE, no doubt, if Obama wins our Country will change, but not for the better!

So, IF the election was won as you say (which I don’t believe), then your reasoning is that two wrongs make a right. Wow. I’ll add that to my reasons for not trusting liberals.
And the companies you listed did not cause our current teetering on the brink of a depression. Fannie, Freddie, Barney Frank & the rest of the dems who insisted banks give loans to people who couldn’t afford them (thanks again, ACORN!!) are hugely to blame for this one. Again, hopefully, there will be a few conservatives left in government who will go after the TRUTH about this whole mess. Pelosi putting Frank in charge of looking into what happened is absolutely like putting the fox in charge of the henhouse. What a sick joke.

Diebold was such a swell pal to the Bush election and with the magic of their voting machines gave us the biggest disaster that the world has seen since the Fall of the Roman Empire. Now, that is what is called stealing an election. All in the name of the greed. For example Diebold, Black Water, Haliburton.

Believe what you want. Why DO you think he donated so much money to these guys? And why did his campaign lie about the donation and say it was for “lighting…“? The facts are the facts are the facts, and eventually, the truth about Obama will smack you in the face so hard, you WILL know it.
“Raped & pillaged?“ What ARE you talking about now?
And, in case you haven’t been paying attention, Bush is not running for reelection. I would not vote for him again (unless Obama were my only other choice). Just so you know, the Republican candidate in THIS election is John McCain. Not the same man. Just trying to be helpful.

Sorry, I don’t believe that Obama is involved in wrong doing. He’s way better than the other candidate and our only hope for change for the better. You don’t mention how the current president stole the last election nor how he raped and pillaged everything he touches to get all the $$$ out or to advance his self-interests or those he has to pay back. I hope to GOD that McDrain and Pain don’t somehow steal this one or I’m afraid we might be at the end of days for sure.

In Ohio, the Democratic Sec’y of State has arranged it so you can register and vote on the same day. Thousands of people have done that. She also has arranged it so that the localities don’t have access to the necessary databases to check the validity of the info provided by these voters. I believe Mon. is the deadline for contesting these votes, and she is blocking every attempt to do so. Once the envelopes are opened and votes removed (on Mon.), there will be no way to match the votes up with the envelopes with the phony names, etc., and all of these fraudulent votes will count. This is much more complex than people needing ID’s to vote. This is possible fraud that has the potential to change the outcome of the election.
Apparently, ACORN has hired people, including felons in some states, to register people, and pays them according to how many they register. The guy who registered 73 times did it as a favor to the people getting signatures, as did the other guy who registered 40+ times. You can’t blame this on McCain when it’s happening all over the country. And you’re very naive if you think that a simple ID will prevent many of those fraudulent registrations from becoming votes that count. ACORN is slick, determined, and very well-funded, and they will do whatever they can to get Obama elected. This is not the first time they’ve been in trouble for fraud - not by far. The fact that they’re allowed to continue to operate is a testimony to the power of lobbying, and the fact that Obama donated to them is a testimony to his character.

Is Ohio gonna let people vote without proper ID? Unless they are it makes no difference how many times Mickey Mouse registered. I also suspect that the guy who “revea;ed” he had registered 73 times may be working for the other side.
