Local Republicans
.
Our local Republicans will never win any award for making good yard signs. First there was Tea Party County Commissioner Andy Meyers and signs for the 2002 election that gained him even the scorn of some in his own party —-
—- which was just damn offensive.
Now, the best they can come up with is this one I saw tonight in front of a local criminal defense lawyer’s office.
“Honest to gosh,” Juanita says, “I had to drive past this sucker three times to figure out what it said at the bottom. Then I had to stop my car, get out, and climb in a danged ditch to take a picture. Any pictures from the road weren’t readable at all.”
“So, let’s face it, it’s a poorly designed yard signs. Too many words. Goofy font.”
“However, that misses the point. The point is that the GOP does not, I repeat not, need to be slinging mud in the spending department. I know they’re all so old that they forget things, but how can anyone forget 8 years of George Bush running this country into debt?”
“I mean, who can forget that other than the old people who sit in their yards and yell at little kids? I know they forgot it because they’ve overdosed on tea.”
It’s missing something.
Wards.
We can’t afford to go back”wards”.
(I always say “wards” any time I hear a Republican talking about how they want their country back. I just feel someone has to finish the sentence for them)
1Can I just say that nothing, NOTHING, would make me want to go back to any part of Texas (other than to meet Juanita at the Salon, of course) until, that is, I watched the PBS documentary on the latest Van Cliburn piano competition this evening. I mean, seriously. Who would imagine that the people in Fort Worth would make me jealous? This thing made Ft. Worth and the people in it seem like the most civilized folks on the planet.
‘Course Bernadette Peters is going to appear in a new production of Stephen Sondheim’s “Follies” at the Kennedy Center just in time for my birthday next year.
But still . . .
2Isn’t the republican sign a little well stupid?
if they are claiming that the country is in a mess, then you have to change.
To stay the same would be I guess…… well, republican.
To bad they have no ability for introspection. The bush years did not work. Therefore change needs to occur.
Oh right, we are dealing with republicans. Head, meet wall.
3What I like about the sign is the blatant mis-spelling of any more. Two words. We don’t like to have any more bad spellers anymore.
