GOP vandalism

Saturday, October 28, 2006

WITH LESS than two weeks till the election of Nov. 7, I wish to congratulate the Republican Party for the high-minded and honorable way in which they are conducting themselves. I refer to the theft and vandalism of Democrats’ yard signs; it’s going on all over the county. Well done, Republicans! I’m sure every Democrat in Lyon County — especially those who had signs in their yards — will switch their votes. Way to win an election!

Seriously, this behavior is reprehensible, but not surprising to anyone who’s been paying attention for the past five years. Republican corruption is evident at all levels of government. With such lawlessness in high places, who can be surprised at the lawlessness we’re seeing locally? And what other tactic can the Republicans employ? Their record is abysmal; they can’t run on that. So they’re resorting to fear and (with regard to the yard signs) petty crime.

It’s time to vote them out. On Nov. 7, mark your ballots for Democrats.

Yes, this is true! ALL Republicans are evil vandals because someone took your yard sign. Since we are lumping everyone together today can I assume all Democrats are ignorant since you are obviously a Democrat and you wrote this ignorant article? Both parties have corruption at the highest levels so might I recommend that instead of choosing a team and supporting them blindly that you do like I do and vote independently based on which candidate you think is best?
