OK, I live in L.A., but still |
|
I had to drive across town today (100+-degree heat but clear air and beautiful) so I did a bumper-sticker count to pass the time.
Pro-Kerry/anti-Bush bumper stickers: 5 Pro-Bush/anti-Kerry bumper stickers: 1
Even for the L.A. area this seemed a bit out of whack. But it did make me feel good. My favorite bumper sticker:
(Next to crossed-out W: "Let's not elect him again in 2004.")

I drove from the valley to the beach and back again. I saw mostly Kerry stickers except for maybe one Bush sticker. We were going kinda fast and I couldn't really see. I have a question for other LA DU'ers, however. Okay, everytime I'm driving on the 210 around Sunland, Tujunga, Lakeview Terrace on the way to Glendale from Northridge, I always see a Bush/Cheney sticker or something equally as idiotic. Like one time, I saw a sticker that said "Jane Fonda is an American traitor bitch". Why is this? Has anyone had similar experiences on this stretch of road or am I just more sensitive to this kinda crap?

2. Kerry supporters are fired up, bush supporters are embarrassed! |
|
It's pretty hilarious. In Portland, I've seen ONE bush/cheney sticker in the last 6 months, and it was in a suburb. I know the support is in there somewhere, but it's not PROUD support.

I've seen quite a few W stickers in the SW Portland/Beaverton/Tigard area, but they are outnumbered about 15-to-1 by Kerry-Edwards stickers. :)

SW Portland 'burbs are at least 50% pro-republican. And even in Beaverton they're outnumbered, Big Time, by the visible in-your-face Kerry support. On the eastside, well, you'll have to go out to Clackamas to find the bush signs.
Word: the republicans are ASHAMED of their candidate. Spread it!

3. I recently saw a small W04 (almost unnoticable) sticker |
|
parked between two large and noticable Bush/Kerry stickers. I wished I'd had a camera with me because it seemed prophetic.

4. Here in Palm Springs area |
|
I notice the same thing; about a 3 to one ratio of Kerry/Edwards bumper stickers to Bush/Cheney. Encouraging; as the area has many wealthy residents.

6. I've seen exactly 2 bumper stickers in my town. |
|
both of them Bush/Cheney '04.
Not a surprise; the life blood of this community is the defense industry, and it is pretty hardcore republican. More and more dems have moved in, but they are a quiet lot; the local powers that be can be pretty damned intimidating.
Most of the people I've spoken to, on the other hand, can't wait to get rid of *. It might be that I'm picky about who I spend time with, and it might be that teachers, for the most part, are smart enough to know the source of the current public ed disaster.
