I was listening to this innocent shopkeeper's lament this morning. He said he was ready to retire now.

I suppose if his employee's lost their jobs, it would be "Bush's fault."

My wife (litle rebel) just this minute advised me that our Support President Bush and our troops yard sign is gone...must have been stolen last night.

Okay, I will only address the biggest issue of theft then. DNC chairman Terry McAuliffe ripped the IBEW (the elctrical workers union) for millions. This money does not represent the the rank and files attitude in politics, a great many from the IBEW are to the right.

But even as he questions the president's credibility on the issue of corporate responsibility, there are questions about McAuliffe's own past as a private businessman ... In the late 1990s, some of McAuliffe's business ventures came under investigation by the U.S. Department of Labor, which filed suit against two labor-union officials, both of them with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers pension fund, for entering into questionable business arrangements with McAuliffe. Both officials later agreed to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in penalties for their actions, and the union itself had to reimburse its pension fund by nearly $5 million.

There may not be a great deal of violence in this article to look at, but when you relize that those same dollars (and their compounded interest and access to "leveraged" dollars at 8 to 1) are being used against you, who needs violence? Remember the business "golden rule" he who has the gold, makes the rules.

thank you.

Note that John Fund did some nice compiling and original reporting in WSJ online. He was the first one to put all the stories mentioned in the FR threads together, I believe. He mentions an investigation of these incidents as well.

Hey Doc! How are ya?!

Here in south central Kentucky, we've had so many signs stolen it's not even funny. I work at Repub Headquarters every chance I get, and we've got a gentleman there who makes the painted signs on 4'x4' corrugated white plastic...the latest "fun" for the vandals here is to cut them into pieces and leave the pieces scattered in lawns all over town. Before that it was spraypainting "Veterans For Bush" and "Democrats for Bush" signs with the word 'not' -- to make Veterans 'Not' for Bush, etc.

We've been getting nasty phone calls from the first day the Repub Hdqtrs opened, as well as "No on the Amendment" stickers placed on our windows. (Kentucky is having a vote on a constitutional amendment protecting marriage -- if you're from KY and reading this, be sure to vote Yes!)

We also get the 'this is my IQ' hand symbol from folks passing by headquarters.

On the bright side -- signs, bumper stickers, mugs, t-shirts, and more are FLYING out...people are tickled to get them!

HTH

I checked that out earlier and bookmarked it. Think kimmie7 pinged me to it. Good collection.

Tomorrow I'll do the editing and start it in circulation.

[Doctor Raoul]

How are ya?!

Better than nothing I've been told...

Glad to hear it.

If you are at all interested in personal experiences let me know. I canvassed my neighborhood, downtown Lansing, a month ago and it was horrifying. Its amazing I didn't get raped in broad daylight. Not kidding.

[Doctor Raoul]

I'd surely like to hear your report, however, without a police or news report about it, it doesn't fit in with the others, so I can't use it.

I'm sure others would like to hear about it too. Why not do it's own thread. Please ping me to it. I wouldn't include too much personal information in it though. The left wingers are violent, so be careful.
