Rev. Childress, Have You Heard of Doorknobs?

Rev. Dr. Clenard H. Childress Jr. and David L. Taylor Esq., Line C candidates for the New Jersey General Assembly, promise “immediate tax relief for homeowners now.” How about immediate window-cleaning relief for car owners now?
These doorknob hangers, which were stuck into the driver-side window of two family cars, had to be peeled off yesterday, and left a lovely rectangular pattern that doesn’t look like it will be any fun to Windex off.


Seriously, that’s enough to lose my vote.
It’s that time of year. What bugs you in political advertising? Attack ads? Robo-calls? Sticky campaign literature?

    All of the above. One of my pet peeves is leaving literature on the car windshield in the rain. Does NOT endear me to your cause or candidate.
    The calls are annoying, especially if they are Robocalls. A live human is always best, don’t they get this?
    Also, one sign on the traffic island is enough. Don’t need 14. Yes, I am speaking to you, Chris Christie.

    Forget rgw windex Debbie!
    Take a wash cloth and run it under HOT water.
    then ring it out & place in ON the sricker
    for like 20 minutes. The sticker will then
    peel right off, leaving very very litte
    residue, if any.

    I hate it when you see dozens of those lawn signs in a row… If a home owner wants to put them up in support of a candidate, I guess that’s one thing. But, having them every 5-10 feet over a mile on the side of 46 or Bloomfield Ave is just obnoxious.
    (I’m thinking of someone campaigning in my mom’s town in specific, but I know a lot of people do it.)

    “Seriously, that’s enough to lose my vote.”
    As if an evangelical, Christian, pro-life minister ever had a chance at Ms. Galant’s vote.

    If leaving that mess on the window isn’t bad enough, my vote would be lost based on:
    “You’re vote on Line C….”
    Way to spend all that money and not even proofread your material.

    “You’re vote”
    Why would anyone vote for someone when they haven’t graduated 3rd grade yet?
    This would have gone straight into the recycling bin but I saved it so my husband could get a good laugh when he got home.
    I’m thinking Daggett.

    The residents of 57 of the United States agree with you!

    You trespass on my property and put junk signage there, I throw in the street. That’s where you can pick up your litter. No votes for you!

    Do us a favor, ackme, just find the nearest trash can and do your civic duty.

    If typos, or generally sloppy treatment of the English language, make you choleric, grover, then you’re better off not ever reading this site. Either the original items or subsequent posts in reply.
    (All that money charged for advertisng, for example, and yet the Baristas’ crack staff can’t spell “caberet” correctly.)

    Perhaps these gentlemen are the candidates of the Bad Grammar party, or even the Misplaced Apostrophe party (there seem to be legions of members in that one!)

    Don’t Windex, use a paint scraper.

    One of my favorite ad typos was an ad in Montclair Magazine by a local furniture maker whose copy included the phrase “Fine Carftsmanship”.
    Now, if something is botched in our shop we remark on its carftsmanship..and insist it get fixed.

    Ah, the sweet irony of a typo in cathar’s post complaining about typos on this site.

    Figures his campaign workers would show little regard for the property of others. Clenard Childress is about as close to a fascist as they come nowadays, at least this side of the Mason-Dixon line.
    For a taste of this gentleman’s philosophy, theology and political position, check out his websites; they’re at http://www.blackgenocide.org and http://www.theurbanprophet.org. Pure racism, hysterical homophobia, misogyny and intolerance, served up with a heady, soul-savin’ evangelical Christian flavor.
    I’ll let this “urban prophet” do the talking for himself: check out his rant on “Parents fight homosexual indoctrination of kindergarteners.”
    Back, back, I say, to the nearest red state!

I would love to see Santorum get the nod. Maybe then the politically comatose members of society will wake up.
