Tell us about campaign signs in your neighborhood

[jschuck12001]

Please.

Forgot to add 'None'.

I live in an all white neighborhood in Pasco county florida, Its all Mccain/Palin around here.

i'd say it's about 1.5:1 obama. there are actually more signs for local ballot initiatives and statewide candidates than presidential candidates, although there's a bob barr diehard down the street.

state hasn't gone anything but dem in 28 years; i don't expect signs will maKE MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE.

i'm seeing more vote Yes on 1 here
and in Portland and Augusta as well

vote YES on 1, means you are voting DOWN the tax on drinks, is my understanding? no?


I hate the way they try to confuse the issue by wording things the way they do....

I think we ought to tax the shit out of soda, personally.

The stuff is poisoning our people.

You know they not longer even call it adult onset diabetes, anymore?

Now they call it type 2 diabetes.

Want to know why?

Because now kids are getting that kind of diet caused diabetes in elementrary school.

Corn sugar folks...it's in soda and it's killing us and more importantly it's killing our kids.

Soda is worse for you than cigarettes for criminy's sakes.

i don't agree editec....sin taxes are regressive taxes and are a robinhood in reverse....just think about it....it hurts the masses....and it is never counted as doing such. I think all taxes should be reigned in like this and just put in to the income tax rate, if the money is needed instead of secretly hiding the taxes we pay according to our means.

100% of all yard signs I've seen are for Obama, even in the white neighborhoods.

I rarely even see a McCain bumper sticker.

That is correct...I think...so do I.

I'll know for sure when I read the referendum on Tueday.

I'll be voting to impose a tax on bottled water, soda and alcohol.

Hate to do it, of course, but the state is broke and we really either have to increase revenues or start cutting social services that hundreds of thousands of Mainer truly are counting on.

Since a huge amount of the money levied on these taxes will go onto bottled water that Nestles is sucking out of the land (they own Poland Spring and other bottled water companies) and sending out of state, the net cost of this to Mainers is more than offset by the amount of money netted by the taxes imposed on those bottles going out of state, I am informed.

I'll pay another nickle on on my soda, bottled water and beer to keep those social services going.

I won't even miss it.

my ground water has arsenic in it, so we can not drink it, we use about 14 gallons of bottled water a week, until we can afford a specialized water filtering system that removes the arsenic in it, which will be about $1500 dollars installed to do it for the whole house, then buying a specialized filter replacement every 5 years after that for about $300 each....

we can buy a reverse osmosis water filtering system just for the kitchen sink to remove the arsenic, but this method is very NON GREEN....for every gallon you use to drink, it flushes out about 5-10 other gallons of water, down the drain as non usable....i can't stomach doing something like that...

I'd rather see the income tax raised if the state needs more money so that everyone pays for maine's needs....

I won't go bonkers if it passes, just expressing my thoughts on it.

What about casino, how ya voting on that question?

Care

Looks like McCain in a landslide!

i wouldnt say that
but he might get the 2nd CD here in Maine

yes
and it will be interesting to see if Mainers will be stupid enough to vote to raise their own taxes

they dont seem to have a problem with borrowing money(every bond issues passes, but without MY vote, i vote no on all of them on principle)
