bring in those signs

The candidate also sent a message to states in the path of the storm asking residents to be safe and to look out for their neighbors, and encouraging support for local Red Cross organizations. He also asked his supporters to bring their Romney-Ryan yard signs indoors.
"For safety's sake, as you and your family prepare for the storm, please be sure to bring any yard signs inside," Romney wrote in the message. "In high winds they can be dangerous, and cause damage to homes and property."


and bring in those trees and electrical power lines too, theyre almost as bad as a rain soaked cardboard sign.

Just because you can't do anything about the trees and power lines does not mean you should do nothing about other loose objects on your property that can become projectiles.

And lots of campaign signs are made of more rigid material than cardboard. All the ones I have seen can withstand the rain, so they are obviously made of something more substantial.

Some are thin sheet metal and others at least have a hard plastic or metal edge around the periphery.

It takes 10 seconds to take it out of the ground and stick it in your garage. At the very least it will prevent the signs from becoming litter in your own neighborhood, if not preventing harm to someone else or their property.

Only a unthinking partisan would try to make points off something so innocuous.

sure there was a point ... as much point as kayla had when she threw out the thread about the current admin looting the WH when they lost the election ..

I didnt really notice, but did you mention anything about that being an unthinking partisan trying to make points off something so innocuous, or are you just an unthinking partisan hypocrite?

Ahh! So two wrongs DO make a right, apparently.

I have neither the time nor the inclination to police every thread on this board.

But two things come quickly to mind. First, look up the definition of innocuous, because you apparently don't know it. Per Merriam-Webster, it means "not likely to give offense or to arouse strong feelings or hostility".

The comment by the Romney camp to bring in signs was an innocuous comment.

Second, what was the innocuous comment to which Kayla was responding? I don't see one. She was insulting Obama, sure. But she was alluding to something that had actually happened the last time there was a Democratic administration. Some Clinton staffers trashed some WH property. There wasn't anything innocuous about that.

It's probably unfair to predict some Obama staffers will do the same thing. But, as bitter as this election has gotten, it is not totally outlandish to imagine David Axelrod taking a dump in the middle of the carpet as he is boxing up his stuff.

I understand the definition of an innocuous comment...unlike my first post, apparently my sarcasim escaped you the second time ...

but thank you for taking time to police me ...

got your feelings aroused though didnt it ..

What a fucking LIAR! Nobody prints political signs on sheet metal. How dare you sir!

Of course, if they did, then the people of the Northeast would have something with which to rebuild their homes after Romney leaves 50 million people in the sun to rot, like Bush did with NOLA!

It was clearly a political ploy by R-money. He didn't tell people to bring in their Obama-Biden signs thereby hoping that his incomplete warning would perhaps cause those Obama signs to do serious damage in gale force winds! What a sinister plot by R-money and his evil staff!

Have we really become so jaded?

Even a well meaning safety precaution is twisted to mean something else entirely!

. . . Lighten up people!
