This D*mn House: Say It – But Don’t Display It
Good for you. And thank you, on behalf of my veteran husband, who would approve wholeheartedly.
Yet another reason HOA's are evil.
At our local fall festival this weekend, I saw the same blatant display. You could proudly pick up your McCain/Palin sign but no where could you even find a sign for Obama/Biden. I doubt the local politco's would allow Obama signs.
We lived in a house governed by an HOA and we had to review and agree to the HOA rules before buying the house. Homeowners in HOAs have the ability to change HOA rules if the majority chooses. The problem I found with my HOA is that most homeowners aren't proactive enough to change things.
Around here in the deep south the people with the Obama stickers on their cars are white people. The black people are wearing the shirts. So white people down here aren't worried about who they're voting for. We live in an HOA neighborhood so there are no signs.
I read an editorial yesterday on the NY Daily news website about an idiotic woman who said of Obama, "he's an, uh, uh, Arab" at a McCain event. McCain's response began "no, he's a decent family man..." Mac should've gone a step further--whether he's black or Arab is immaterial. Race is not a reason not to vote for someone.

We bought our own Obama signs a couple months ago online. We're finally seeing more pop up in our mostly white neighborhood. We live on the modest side of the nice part of town and go for walks through the fancy part. In front of one of the wealthy view homes, I saw a giant McCain sign that had to be 6ft x 5ft tall facing the main arterial. So Republican.
Thanks, everyone! Appreciating all of the patriotism and open-mindedness here. Of course, I wouldn't expect anything else from all of you. :-)
Freakin' HOAs man!
you rock! put your sign up proudly. we can see beyond race in 2008. I believe it is OUR time.
Thanks, ladies! The First Amendment trumps HOAs. :-)
