I do not think that I am living in the land of Hatchie Malatchie ... that's an interesting take on my views ... You are angry ... you just don't see it ... every time someone posts about liking Chris Doherty your anger rises to the top ... and then a small insult flies ... like the Hatchie Malatchie comment ...

Now back on topic please .... signs .... Doomers is right signs don't vote and I for one just don't understand all of this craziness that is going on with people making others take down signs ... I'm not getting the whole intimidation game that's going on ... not only in the Mayoral race but as someone posted last night it is going on in other races. Lets see so far we have seen it in the Mayoral race ... the Sheriffs race and now in the school board race ... come on ... lets all leave the signs alone and if your neighbor wants a DiBileo or a Doherty sign ... that's their business ... if they want a School Board Slate sign or a Bob Lesh sign ... or perhaps both ... well that's their business ... how does it really impact someone elses life?

When the story of Dibileo signs gone missing and ending up in the river broke in the paper I agreed that it probably was some loose cannon that supported Doherty acting like fool, Doherty’s response I thought silly until now.

What does Gary really think Doherty is going to say… “No way Gary, I believe in sign stealing” or You know Gary, I think it was my campaign workers so I am going to drop out of the race. You win man!”

 

So that says to me that Gary is fishing for an angle, a diversion, free attention, just as Doherty claimed.  If this is the best Gary can do for an issue for this election he should save his money, if for no other reason it is starting to appear like he is a cry baby.  Yes sign stealing is WRONG very WRONG, however it is also a common event during any election.  Candidates generally just accept that it will happen to them.  They also accept that some of their kookier supporters will do it on their behalf even if it is without their approval. It is pretty rare for a candidate to cry about it to this extent.  So in my opinion, 

this is a huge attempt at attention for free, and a diversion.  Very weak Gary, very weak.

oooooooooooooo very slick,  very slick indeed!! lol  lol

HOLY MOLY  I thought the police hated Doherty so why help him? If (and this is a huge if)  they are involved are they really helping Doherty?  Or Gary?  Inquiring minds want to know ...well that is after Gary outlines his solution to the evil Emerald Ash Borer  invasion.

Gary, we could bus the murderers up from Wilkes-Barre and Williamsport if you would rather deal with them than one lone sign-stealing teenager.

You choose, big fella.

Panties in a bunch???? 

Dan "Retraction" Hubbard is the most uptight guy I've ever seen.  It's as if he walks around with a permanent wedgie.  He seems incapable of doing anything other than bitching and moaning about things.

You make some great points above, Lus... The whole thing reeks to me of past-due fish, too many things are convenient, like it was all staged.

You are wrong about the signs. NO stage. Our team signs were in the river also. I took all of them out including Gary's. Nothing worse in a river than litter. Signs bedamned but they do cost lots. It's sad stealing them is done but goes with the territory. Nothing underhanded is going on with the complaints. Really pisses me off though. By the way, the signs were in the river 2 days before the photos.

David ... I find it very hard to believe that they were in the river for "two days" and they did not wash away. Now if you knew that they were in the river for two days ... why was this not reported to Gary by you? And if that is truly the case then why was Gary not upset about it until the accusation of harrassment of a mentally challenged woman over sign placement took place? Your concern for the environment is wonderful David ... but let me ask you this ... Why didn't you pluck out all of the signs if you thought that this was no big deal ... and you were trying to eliminate litter from the river? Now I am only guessing that you didn't take them all out as you are the one who stated that they were there for two days before the photo's were taken ... or did you put them back for the photo op? Just wondering ... seems a bit fishy if you ask me.

And I saw that tape on the Newswatch 16 website ... and it is my opinion ... that to me the whole thing looked staged ... to me it was fishy that someone would have a camera trained on the sign in their yard ... equipped with night vision ... and they caught a person on tape stealing a DiBileo sign ... I find that unusual ... so it is again ... My Opinion that it looks staged ... you don't have to agree with that ... and that's ok ... like I said it is MY opinion.

If this is a couple of kids stealing signs as a prank, it's a non-issue.  As a kid, I did my share of mishief like knocking over snowmen and kicking piles of leaves. 

But...if the signs were stolen by persons working for the administration...with the blessing of the administration....then it is an issue. 

I've been hearing rumors, and it sounds like we will all know something soon enough; whether it was staged or real.  I try not to spread rumors without facts, so we just have to wait on this one.  

David...that wasn't Chris that left the poop...it was a cadre from the ICN...you know, the Italian Catholic Network.  There not as visible as the "other" ICN, but they do have a much better sense for the ironic.

::: We don't have his sign in our yard. Although our neighbors have the Doherty signs we, out of respect to them do not post a Gary sign. :::


Ya.....more like so you don't piss them off anymore than just living near them does....oh and since they know Missy Jans  politics, I guess they don't much mind offending you by both supporting Doherty LOL
