What a shocker. Voter intimidation being reported.

Or those with jobs...

If she's going to be taking down signs other people put up in a common area, then she has to accept the consequences. This is a far cry from some guy standing in front of a voting place wielding a night stick! Give me a freaking break.

In my mind, however, apart from the lack of tact exhibited by someone swearing at anyone over some campaign signs and the sympathy I feel for your wife for being so subjected, these osrts of stories have very little bearing on the merits of the issue.

It was merely an anecdote for exies anecdote. It pissed me off this morning that is all.

Truly shocking development and actually a true story. Likely members of our stake shouting profanity at my wife. I wish I was there to defend her.

I don't disagree with you that screaming profanities is idiotic, but you have to admit, it's not even close to the same level as brandishing a nightstick at the entrance to a voting booth. Ironically, much like exie is an embarrassment to all Mormons, these idiots are an embarrassment to their respective causes.

Acceptable consequences include verbal harassment? OK I gotcha. I already knew you were a dickhead...thanks for the confirmation.

If you look up the word Mormon, there is a picture of me. What are you talking about.

You sound like one of those disenfranchised Mormons who never had a calling comparable to what you thought your qualifications were. I've seen plenty of guys like you. Don't mock those of us who have held those callings.

I follow the prophet. Do you have faith enough to do likewise?

When you start a thread that isn't worth hijacking let me know.

Wait a minute. You just went Joe Biden on someone who was yelling at your wife and then you resort to name calling? Classic!
