I Post Mug Shots. Here’s What They Do.
I think most of you know that my friend Judge Susan Criss is running for state representative.
She’s gonna win and I am thrilled about that because she’s meaner than ten acres of snakes and one of the funniest people I know.
That, of course, does not fit in the Republican mode. So they have Young Republicans standing outside the polls with this little greeting to voters.
Yes, we’re playing darts with the evil faces of Barack Obama, Wendy Davis, and Susan Criss. Hey, at least Susan is in some high cotton.
I know young people are kinda nuts and do nutty things but the Galveston County Republican Party chairman has seen this and doesn’t mind.
Okay, it’s gross on many levels. For me, however, the most worst part is that it’s mean instead of cute. If they had “Pin the Tail on the Democratic Donkey,” that would have been funny. Instead, they go straight for the bloodshed.
I do not like these people.
I hate how people use politics to justify the very ugliest things about themselves. I pray that never happens to me.
1I do not like these people either, JJ. And, they are mostly all sitting in churches today, waving their hands in the air and singing praises to God. And tomorrow they will all be out bad-mouthing the Candidates once again, forgetting how they were waving their hands in the air and praising God the day before!!
They are just sad, angry, ugly people and I truly do not like them!!
2Is this legal near a polling place?
3Sadly, they are showing a tiny bit of class by not using guns.
4I gave no words that can describe how I.. feel about Cruz… how can he even stand himself!!!!!!
5At least there aren’t crosshairs on the faces, a la Sarah Palin’s graphics of Democrats, including Gabby Giffords. But this is a deplorable example of the old haters in the GOP nurturing the next crop of haters. VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS!
6Yep, PKM, it’s legal but it ain’t right.
7there were pictures and posters of Abraham Lincoln up all over the Confederate south. Folks threw knives at them. And then the Confederacy went down the drain. Is there a moral here?
8Juanita Jean, Texas needs fixing, but you already knew that.
Wondering where I got the notion it’s illegal, so checked our NV statutes. It’s 100 feet here. Appears it’s a state by state rule of 25 to 100 feet.
Special Election > Electioneering / Campaigning
Nevada Revised Statutes sections 293C.3572, 293C.361 and 293.740 govern campaigning and electioneering. The rules differ for early voting and Election Day:
Early Voting:
If the voting site is located on PRIVATE PROPERTY (mall, supermarket, etc.), no one may electioneer on the owner’s property without the owner’s permission (NRS 293C.3572).
If the voting site is located on PUBLIC PROPERTY, no one may electioneer within 100 feet of the voting area (NRS 293C.361)
Election Day:
No one may electioneer within 100 feet of the entrance to the building or structure in which a polling place is located (NRS 293.740)
Definition: NRS 293.740 defines electioneering as campaigning for or against a candidate, ballot question or political party by:
9• Posting signs.
• Distributing literature.
• Using loudspeakers.
• Buying, selling, wearing or displaying any badge, button or other insignia. A person may wear political insignia while voting only if he or she is reasonably unable to remove or cover it.
• Polling or otherwise soliciting information from a voter as to how the voter intends to vote or has voted.
• Soliciting signatures for any kind of petition.
First thing I want to know is how mean is ten acres of snakes and does that depend on what kind of snake is spread over that area? Sounds pretty mean,but it could be ten acres of garter snakes which is not too awful mean. Still a relatively delightful Texasism.
10If some Young Democrats pulled some carp like that it’s guaranteed that the DPS would be all over the place, the media would be buzzing like dung beetles behind the herd, TGOP officials would have truckloads of fainting couches delivered by hotshot, and the upper creepchelon of GOP’er ‘leaders’ would be screaming their heads off and parachuting DA’s in by the honeybucketful.
11doquixoterocket, the only snakes that count in Texas are rattlers and copperheads.
12@doquijoterocket:
13Long time ago I took a boy scouts adult leader training course. I learned there were 4 types of venomous snakes living in Texas. Along with venomous spiders, bees, wasps, fire ants, blister beetles, caterpillars, and scorpions on land. In the Gulf you find gaff top catfish, sting rays, and Portuguese Man-O-War. Yeah Texas IS a paradise, but sometimes it does seem that every natural thing bites or stings.
Yep Micr, in Texas anything alive bites or stings or cuts. It explains a lot.
