When I was driving to work this morning I noticed a bunch of political signs along the side of the road. The usual McCain and local shit, but a few of em bothered me. There were a few signs for Constables and Sheriffs proclaiming their political affiliation.

Partisan politics has no place in officers upholding the law IMO. I don't want constables arresting people or giving them harsher/more lenient punishments based on their political beliefs. Their job should be to uphold the law without bias

Does this bother anyone else?

I don't see a problem with it. They declare their affiliation publicly instead of hiding it from the world. They are still lawmen and have a duty to uphold the law without bias. If you feel they're not capable of doing so, then don't vote party lines. Only difference between the elected official and their subordinates is you know the party affiliation of the official while you know nothing of the subordinates - the ones that are out working the streets. No, the elected officials do not always hire based on party affiliation, either.
