Regarding the Bush sign in Orlando Florida - it has changed
Now it says, "Our Leaders" and has pictures of Bush and Mel Martinez.


I wonder what idiot is paying for this. Personally I think it just makes them look bad - Although I did think of accelerant and a match when I passed by.

1. There's a single GOP billboard in my town...
Currently it has a picture of the bible and the text says something like it's time our votes matched our faith and the one before it said "tax cuts create jobs" and had our state reps phone numbers. I've been thinking about some creative civil vandalism, but it's pretty close to down town and is pretty well lit... oh well...

D.H.

5. Tax cuts create minimum wage jobs...
should be more like it. 90% of the jobs being created are minimum wage or just above with no benefits. Yeah, those tax cuts for the rich are REALLY rocketing the American economy. Take a look at Wall Street, they believe it, correct? :shrug: Well, maybe not. It sure puts a lot more money in THEIR pockets though.

Welcome to DU! :hi: We need all the help we can get in fighting these swine. Thanks for the help.

4. Just like the giant pictures...
of Saddam in Iraq, huh? :eyes: Aren't the sheeple in this country picking up on a pattern here yet? :shrug:

Propaganda is running rampant in this country and all a majority of people care about is, "American Idol". :banghead:

WHY are Americans so stupid? WHY don't they care? I'm amazed.

7. Everyday I ask myself the same question & wonder,
how damned cold & hungry will the sheeple have to get before they take to the streets? But then, it will be too frickin' late as they realize that you can't eat or burn cheap plastic crap from Walmart.

I'm sorry to say, but I think America's 'wonder years' are over. I'm fortunate to have experienced some of the best years for most of my life.

:cry:

13. I pass this very billboard once or so per week
and never fail to give 'em both the third finger salute. Childish, yes, but it brightens my day.

14. Do what I did. Contact Disneyworld and tell them you won't be
going there until the sign comes down.

22. Clueless, I called when it first went up, which as I recall, was just a
few days after the "election."

21. I think I'm going to contact Martinez and tell him he looks like an ass
Maybe I can ask him who paid for the sign?

23. No, have your aide do that with no intention of printing it and then
mail it to him by accident.

19. Good thing billboards aren't allowed in Alaska!!
I can't imagine what they'd come up with :o

The only thing you see off the sides of the road here are mountains, moose and the northern lights... :)
