		<description><![CDATA[Perhaps you should include a disclaimer in this piece saying &quot;We do not approve in any way of vandalism and destruction of campaign signs of political opponents.&quot;

The article seems to imply that the vandalism was fine, even kind of cute.  

Again, Ron Paul&#039;s opponents did this to us in the 1990s, viciously.  They destroyed hundreds of our signs.  Mostly done by the vicious Democrats in Victoria County, and their helpful imported thugs from Houston.  

I don&#039;t wish campaign signs being destroyed on anyone, cause there&#039;s not only the cost of the signs, but the time it takes to dig the ditches again with post hold diggers, hoist them up, and knock them in.  4x8s are an absolute bitch to put into the ground.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Eric, I wasn&#039;t saying I approved of the sign vandalism, but that it illustrates how deeply Erwin is hated in the state.

It may not have been done by liberals, though.  I know quite a few Republicans and L/libertarians who hate his guts, too -- and the libertarian/real conservative group has the most active sign warriors in this part of the state.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Being an Alabama resident I will say Hank Erwin is an embarrassment to the state of Alabama.  Of course more than half the Alabama Legislature is an embarrassment to the state of Alabama.  On the other hand more that half the US Legislature is an embarrassment to our country.  OK, now I&#039;m depressed.  :::runs off to go cry in my cornflakes:::]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yup, he&#039;s a prohibitionist asshole. And as a Republican, I&#039;m embarrassed that this guy is in my Party.

That said, he didn&#039;t deserve to have his campaign signs destroyed like that.  I&#039;ve been in numerous campaigns, including Ron Paul&#039;s many congressional efforts here in Texas, where the Democrats vandalized our 4x8s.  Those things can get expensive, $40 a pop.  

I&#039;m almost sympathetic to the guy now.  Though, not quite.]]></description>

Um, by the effect that Hurricane Katrina had, I think that it would probably be more accurate to say that He wanted to punish Welfare recipients.  After all, Mississippi got hit hard, too, and they recovered just fine.  The casinos were up and running in less than a month.

Or maybe He wanted to punish Texas, as so caused the human equivalent of a plague to come infest some of the largest cities.

After all, He would know what He was doing, wouldn&#039;t He?  He has a good grasp of cause and effect, better than Hank, at any rate.]]></description>
