There is no need for him to work for ACORN. The Rio Grande Valley is heavily Democratic. One of my arguments for Texas going blue is the Valley, Corpus Christi, Laredo and El Paso. Us Texans up North tend to forget about those areas. They are heavily Democratic areas that vote more and more with each election.

That is what Hobart did. He looked for unregistered Democrats and helped them register. As long as what he did was legal, and I think he has good ethics, I applaud it. But I abhor what has been shown in other states by ACORN even if it helps the Democrats.

Somehow I imagine the neighborhood being talked about would allow a Nobama sign to slip through the cracks though, but if it were a McCain sign it would be ordered down immediately.

How does a private subdivision not permitting signs (political, real estate) equate to socialism?

I didn't say "stay off my threads" here as this isn't my thread. Besides, there ARE rules about deliberately taking threads off-topic as you like to do. But you insult my "attitude" and appearance repeatedly yet continue to address me. And then you even have the gall to insinuate that I'm a lesbian. It doesn't make one bit of sense.

I'd put you on ignore but that would give you carte blanche to say all sorts of rude crap about me. So, from now on, I simply won't respond to you and if you continue the personal attacks, I'll just report your posts.
