Brown Supporters: The Most Motivated Voters Ever? [Home made signs!]

96.9 Boston Talks ^ | 1/17/2010 | Michael Graham

“My thought is, perhaps Republicans should spend less on those printed signs, save the money for ads. I think, if they simply tell their supporters to put home made signs in their yards/cars, it’ll happen. And it makes a great impression.”

Agree. We were at the Tea Party marches in DC. The homemade signs were definitely impressive. People speaking from the heart.

“Sorry, I don’t see that at my work place. The Union fools still praise their Kenyan thug. They still hate Bush, Palin, and Reagan.”

My people at the workplace think Cheney should go to jail. I’m shaking them loose with a bipartisan message, but very slowly.

[ishabibble]

That was great, thanks for putting it up!

[Logic n' Reason]

WHY isn't Sarah Palin going to MA to assist Mr. Brown?

WHY?

obammer is there...charging up the idiots.

Where is Sarah?

[Starboard]

“Send him a few bucks!”

We have, and will send a few more bucks today. As they say, time to put your money where your mouth is.

[Madame Dufarge]

Well, “Disembowel ‘em all” seemed a little over the top so I compromised. :-)

[Daisyjane69]

Why, thank you.

You made my day!!!!!

This is a good time to share an observation I made during the March On Washington on September 12, 2009.

Having been at the Gathering of Eagles in 2007, I was struck at the difference and quality of the signs when comparing the liberal protesters and conservative protesters, so I did an analysis of the two groups in the pictures below:

This is from the Anti-War March, looking at the protesters as they marched across the bridge towards Arlington National Cemetery:

Now, compare the Moonbat protesters funded by MoveOn.org with the everyday people below who paid their own way and made their own signs:

For those who like her, Sarah is there. For those who don’t.....she isn’t. Don’t think it would be smart to inject someone so polarizing to so many into a campaign that’s going surprisingly well.

I've been to the Scott Brown campaign headquarters in Littleton three times over the past week. They actually turned me away for phone duty as every phone was currently manned. Instead, they told me to go home and logon to their website so I could make phone calls from there.

They are CONSTANTLY out of lawn signs. I was finally able to score one Friday night but they only gave me one because they felt sorry for me having left the previous two times empty-handed (they have a "reserve" supply for VIPs, I guess).

Just so you know, this has never happened before in Massachusetts politics. Usually, like Michael Graham states in this article, Republicans in Massachusetts have a hard time giving these lawn signs away.

During the 2008 campaign, I picked up a McCain/Palin sign at campaign headquarters in Concord and they had hundreds of them piled up. When they got my address, within the next three days, every local Republican candidate drove by my house to ask me if they could add their sign to the McCain/Palin one.

Don't forget that in Massachusetts, putting a Republican lawn sign in your yard can be a risky move. I still have neighbors who won't talk to me because of my lawn signs back in 2008. Others have had the signs trampled or had eggs thrown at their house.

Not so this year. People are actually asking me where I got my sign so they can go get one for themselves.

I have another idea...maybe we could get it started here on Free Republic. But it has to do with Facebook, Twitter, blogs, etc.

I would love it if, come Wednesday, Scott Brown has won. Then it starts happening.
On Facebook, people put up this message under their photo: “Can you hear us now?”.
Twitters send tweets: “Can you hear us now?”.
Bloggers insert a byline: “Can you hear us NOW?”
Make it THE universal message.

Wouldn’t that be kewl?!

Call me crazy but to just piss off the Obamatons and their lawn signs in my neighborhood in 08' (just to remind them they %*^& up) I might put a Scott Brown Sign on my front lawn.

And I am in Michigan.

In fact Tues, I may make a sign and go to a busy traffic area and stand their.

Just to remind people of the two Putz's we have in the Senate, Stabenow and Lenin, oops I mean Levin....

[Bronzy]

Great video. Now Indiana has to do the same and vote Bayh out.

[rolling_stone]

So who is going to tell Obama, Pelosi and Reid?

“I fear that we have awakened a sleeping giant and filled him with a terrible resolve.”

“We, The People” are starting to believe what Beck said many months ago, “We surround them!”

A re-supply of signs came in about 3 or 4 days ago, 500 arriving at 9 PM close in Littleton. They were gone by noon the next day. The next day after that, 1000 more came. Within about 24 hours, all gone! I drove up to such a pleasant surprise yesterday morning (Saturday) up Goldsmith street to the call center, and it was PLASTERED... a mile stretch with probably 15 signs. BTW, each new day at the call center appears to be a new record of total calls from all the volunteers. A caller can say they are a “volunteer”, as it distinguishes them from the SEIU-types paid to call.

Stop the politically correct BS>.........it is StabmeNOW and LENIN They are both commies !!!!!

[WellyP]

May this election be the wooden stake in the heart of the Obama Beast!
