The scummy and deceitful Republicans, knowing they cannot win this election, are creating situations across the country designed to suppress the vote. Among their devious ploys are billboards like this designed to frighten lower income people, notably African Americans and Latinos. Another ploy is advertising that suggests that persons can vote by phone, which, of course, they can't; or need a certain form of i.d. which they don't. What's most disturbing is that these deceptive practices are from many businessmen and lawmakers who would describe themselves as true Americans and yet their goal is to corrupt one of our greatest freedoms. I consider this kind of behavior treasonous, but apparently it doesn't outrage so-called respectable Republicans as much as it should. It's also a shame that billboard companies are even willing to accept such dishonest and unAmerican promotions. Every city has its taggers. As distasteful as I find graffiti, I fervently hope that many of these billboards are soon spray painted with the word: Lie!
Note: Seems that graffiti wasn't necessary. These controversial billboards in Ohio and Wisconsin were taken down following complains from community organizations that they were intended to suppress votes (duh). The anonymous group behind the billboards chose to remove them rather than crawl out from under their rock and face the light of day. Jim Cullinan, a spokesman for Clear Channel Outdoor, the company that owns the billboards and sold the ad space is trying to look like a reasonable human being, despite the fact that he was amoral enough to sell the space in the first place.
