(Think: The Proclaimers – 500 Miles)

I put over 100 miles on my truck today for lawnsigns. I burned about 12 gallons of fuel. I have a diesel and that cost me round $50, thanks to anti-Drilling policies of the left.

Gosh darn it, don’t steal lawnsigns. That goes for everyone. I don’t care what party you are in, don’t do it. It makes you look like a 1st grader, nay, a kindergartener. Plus it is illegal.

Campaign signs are property of each candidate, and taking them without permission is considered theft. 

Unlike some political bloggers, most notably the DFL bloggers at MN Pooplus, I have never stolen campaign signs nor taken them down with out permission from people who had their lawn vandalized for homecoming or if one turned up on property I was an owner of. MNPooplus had someone on the NARN today who was taunting Michael Bordkorb over whether he had ever taken some done before. Obviously in a tone to lead one to believe that they think theft of political opponent’s property as simply part of politics as usual and perfectly fine in their eyes. 

It is juvenile and childish to steal lawnsigns. I hope all sides make sure that their surrogates and official party units understand that only political cowards resort to stealing lawnsigns. Oh and the fact that it is illegal. Unless they are stuck in High School and on a scavenger hunt for some lame Homecoming contest, it is inexcusable. If that’s the case, maybe you aren’t ready for political involvement yet. 

I drove well over a hundred miles helping with lawnsigns for Congresswoman Bachmann today, and dang near spanned the 6th Congressional District in my travels. So excuse me for sounding like a crabby old man, but childish tactics belong on the elementary playground, not in elections. 

Knock it off you darn kids! 

Oh and for juvenile lefties who get the giggles at stealing lawnsigns, let me use some of your own fear mongering junk science on you.

It took consumption of carbon emitting fuels to get that lawn sign you stole installed in the first place. By stealing the sign you are causing global warming and accelerating the demise of the world by your intellectually vacant tactics by forcing someone to repeat the trip in an automobile to install a replacement lawnsign. 

Get off the lawn! Dang whippersnappers! I know your Father!
