That's probably what these two candidates for public office probably said when they saw that their campaign signs were posted right under a "For Sale" signs.
The top one is of Cameron Cnuty Judge Carlos Cascos who is running as in an incumbent against County Clerk Joe Rivera. Rivera is still smarting from the filing of a Texas Ethics Commission complaint filed by Cascos which mad all the local media where Da Judge documented what he said were egregious numerous violations of the Texas election Code.
One of the growing legion of readers in Harlingen sent us the photo via his cell phone to point out the apparent snafu.
Rivera, of course, denies the charges and says that Cascos resorted to the filing of the TEC complaint out of desperation in the closing month of the race before the Nov. 4 general election.
The bottom one is of Otis Powers, now the president of the board of the Brownsville Independent School District. Someone – one of his supporters? – inadvertently placed Powers' campaign signs right in front of a real estate sign with the "For Sale" prominently displayed when you drove east on East Price Road across the street from St. Luke's Catholic church.
The implication – which both would deny, we're sure – is that these two candidates are for sale.
Powers never removed his sing even after the picture was posted on the local blogs and still won.
The Cascos sign was just put up, we understand. Whether it will remain standing on the intersection of the Harlingen street is yet to be seen.

Otis Powers is scum at the bottom of the barrel. It's a shame that you put Carlos Cascos, a good apple, in the same barrel.
Finally, truth in advertising.
Carlos Cascos a good apple??? Rotten to the core!!!
Wanted by the N.A.C.O. Intelligence Agency . Report these mug shots to your local friendly police department. Take heed, you could be shot by the cops. To serve and shoot .
Otis Powers is Joe Rivera's treasurer...and for his illegal PAC too. Birds of a feather....
Looks like we are at the former Soviet Union with the party greats pictures. Tovarich Coscovith and Comrade Otinsky are true heroes of the Motherland . Their great mottos are: "what's mine is mine and what's yours is mine".
Isn't that Commie talk ?
