  1. AG says:

    The reader is supposed to infer that Ron Johnson didn’t buy a place for his son because of political signs or democrats residing in the area? Can’t help but add your mark of drivel in your articles, can you Horne?

  2. AG I was present at the time of the senator’s visit and found his presence in the area somewhat incongruous. Ward 179 is not a Republican stronghold.

  3. Vincent Hanna says:

    Wonder where he bought a place for his son. If GOP yard signs were a requirement, River Hills, Waukesha, Brookfield, or Menomonee Falls seem like wise choices.

  4. AG says:

    Shhhh, don’t tell anyone… but there are a few other conservatives living in the area. I highly doubt the choice was made because of the political leanings of the neighbors unless his son plans to run for office.

    I just don’t see why you take an otherwise fascinating and interesting article and toss in the political nonsense…

  5. Vincent Hanna says:

    AG I know you don’t talk to your neighbors with Dem yard signs. You don’t fool me. “Dad, I can’t live by Dems. If you see any Dem yard signs, move along.” – Ron Johnson’s son. Totally plausible.

  6. Virginia Small says:

    Michael, so where did Ron Johnson’s son put down roots? Enquiring minds want to know.

  7. AG says:

    True, I actually tend to egg the houses who support democrats…

    Seriously though, I find it less than mysterious how the yard signs I put up for conservatives somehow get damaged but when we support a democrat (yes, it happens! I swear!) they are as pristine the day after election as the day we put them up…

  8. Vincent Hanna says:

    Depends on where you live maybe? I can imagine certain places in say Waukesha County where a Dem yard sign wouldn’t survive long.

  9. AG says:

    No way, conservatives would NEVER! You don’t know what you’re talking about Vincent..!

  10. Vincent Hanna says:

    OK you’re right I apologize.

  11. Tim says:

    I have a relative in Menomonee Falls that lost too many D yard signs to count.

  12. AG says:

    Tim, you LIE! That could NEVER happen!!!

    Actually that’s totally something that Jefferson Davis or one of his loony toon far right compatriots might just do.

  13. Vincent Hanna says:

    Jefferson Davis of Menomonee Falls?

  14. AG says:

    Yes, of Menomonee Falls, not the south.

  15. Vincent Hanna says:

    I think I saw him there on Monday near Fleet Farm.

  16. I don’t know about Dem/Republican animosity in the area, but the residents can be vicious. When I lived in the street section in question at 1144 E. Kane (also abutting Jeffrey Dahmer’s last victim’s building), in the time of monthly parking permits & odd/even overnight parking, the cretins across the street objected when out of necessity I parked in front of their house in their apparently exclusive space, leaving threatening notes, calling on a motorcycle cop to hide when I moved my car at night to see if I made excessive noise (he said I was as quiet as was practicable but still issued a ticket), eventually slashing my convertible top on my Olds Rocket 88. As a lowly-paid clerk just out of UWM I drove it that way the rest of its days, suffering thru the winters. Oddly enuf, I watched as the City Housing Authority built the high-rise for the elderly down the block in 1965, where I live today.
