My magnet got a thumbs up today from an unlikely (I guess) source
I drive a Sonata with a magnet that says "Support the Troops - end the war now". I have had it for several months now, it never garnered any attention. Today I was at a stop light and heard a horn behind me tooting, and I looked to see a 50-ish guy with a bushy beard on a Harley giving me a thumbs up. At the NEXT kight he pulled up along side me and repeated the gesture, which I then returned.

Hmm. A clean-cut college professor and a scruffy-looking Harley agreeing on the war. Another demographic in our corner.

"Nurses don't believe Bush's Lies" -- must have been on her way to work, the hospital was nearby. I beeped my horn and gave her the thumbs up and the sign of peace. I'm seeing a lot of antiwar stickers around town these days, but then, I live in the DC suburbs.

3. You sound suprised...
Most bikers value their freedom most, and they can see their freedoms being eroded. Also alot of bikers are Vets, and know exactly how Bush and his buddies are going to "support the troops" when they get home. I have alot of biker buddies and only a couple of the deepest "Murika love it or leave it" guys support the war.

And will do my best to be in front of any car sporting a W 04 or a Bush/Cheney 04 sticker.

On edit - here's another good one.

8. That is so cool!
The other day I was at an ATM machine and the car behind me honked their horn and said they loved my bumper stickers! We are slowly winning them over.
