Encouraged by missing bumper stickers....

[Jawja]

A big * supporter who lives in my building sported a whole back window of * bumper stickers on his SUV. Wore a * t-shirt on election day, 2004. In fact, the newest bumper sticker declaring support for the War Criminal occupying the Oval Office made me so mad, I ALMOST printed an application for the U.S. Army to tape to the back of offending SUV.

I decided against tweaking this person's nose.

But TODAY, I find that ALL * bumperstickers have been removed from the vehicle! I am delighted; for where I live, that means the tide is turning! The perjury over treason has traction - as well it should - and perhaps is even turning the heads of diehard supporters?

One can only hope, but I am definitely encouraged by what I just saw.

:bounce: :toast:

3. im suddenly seeing an explosion of more bush stickers

is someone giving them away in the Ft Lauderdale area?

I gota go get some Florida Dem stickers for my new car.. :patriot:

21. You're kidding... gads, some people are effing NUTS

I can (barely) see people being for him the first time around--
(they didn't know any better) but there's no excuse for putting
NEW stickers on their cars. Now that bushco's mask if OFF, how
can they be supportive??

That's tantamount to saying "I support torture," "I support the
huge deficit," "I support lying," "I support crooks," "I support
trashing the environment," etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

Those people are monumentally stupid, brainwashed, or downright
evil.

:spank:

4. Sorry to get your hopes up but he could be selling, trading in the car or

going job hunting and doesn't want to offend a potential new Dem boss. Also, maybe a new girl/boyfriend, starting a new school. I would love to enbrace your theory but I don't think there was a change of heart just some kind of change in life style. However we all can dream.

[Jawja]

8. I considered that, but

stickers supporting the Repug Senate candidate is still on the car.

[ailsagirl]

5. I see American flags hung outside people's houses. WTF is up

with that? Is it a silent statement of support for bushco??
I don't know what else it would be.

And I live in a liberal area!!

Go figure

[efhmc]

6. Even liberals are desperate to ge their country back. Mostly I see

upside down flags which are a signal for distress. My daughter and sil are very liberal but refuse to not be able to fly their flag.

[ailsagirl]

10. I wish I saw more evidence of desperation... mostly I see people

just going on with "business as usual." Not a great analogy
but it's tantamount to a group of people sitting outside their
house and smoke is starting to pour out of the windows and the
people are saying, "Nah-- it's not on fire. That's not smoke. We
don't need to call the fire department."

So many are in major, major denial.

:(

[CrispyQ]

18. Ditto.

I see the same thing. Most disheartening is this attitude in my Dem friends who were fired up last summer but totally apathetic & uninvolved this summer.

7. one guy on my street flies his flag every day

he's the only one.

then.... pre-election, i saw Kerry/Edwards sticker on his van!

i said, "I thought you were a BUSHIE!"

he said, " NOT ON YOUR LIFE !"


He probably doesn't talk much the the B/C guy across the st. from him.

[Raksha]

11. As a matter of fact, the Repukes don't OWN the U.S. flag...

...no matter how much they want to make everyone think they do. I fly mine upside down for obvious reasons.

[yorkiemommie1]

13. i have a dove of peace wreath

and an american flag in it.

mine is an interesting street. half fly the flag on every holiday ( EXCEPT MLK DAY - when I'm the only one who does ). the other half never flies it at all.

[ailsagirl]

17. The wreath sounds pretty-- good for you.

They don't fly the flag on MLK Day???? That's weird. :crazy:

[yorkiemommie1]

27. nope !!!

it's like they're making a point. i'd never miss MLK day, not only because I respect the man himself ( and the fact that if the original convenants in this subdivision were still in force, i and the other ethnicities, - of asian ancestry for the most part - could not live here. ), but because they don't think it's 'their' holiday.

twenty years i've lived here and except for that Kerry guy down the street who just started w/ the flag, i've been the only one to fly it on MLK day. i've written lttes about it and they've never been published either.

editing to add that my MIL started the flag flying tradition in the family - she kind of reminded me every holiday -. she voted Dem. until the day she entered a nursing home and wherever she is in the afterlife now, i know she is having a fit!!!

[ailsagirl]

12. Like AAR says, "Taking back America... because it's our flag too"

[yorkiemommie1]

15. that's precisely what my neighbor is doing

n/t

[Jawja]

9. Perhaps

folks are reclaiming the flag in hopes that the system will prevail?

[KarenInMA]

20. Being Liberal does NOT mean not respecting the flag!!

It means supporting the concept more than the silk/plastic/poly article itself!!

[DemGirl7]

26. I don't think so ...

My neighbors always have their flag hung outside, and they are not Bush supporters trust me. Me and my mom still have a little paper flag taped to our front door, and we are far away from being Bush supporters, both us curse Bush's name.

[XemaSab]

16. I've seen a lot fewer

stickers than I saw during the election, but many people don't "wear" their stickers year-round.

[eleny]

19. Making people feel ashamed for voting for you - the best!

Can you imagine voting for traitors to the nation? How embarrassing. After feeling ashamed, I'd be pretty pissed off.

[ailsagirl]

23. They don't seem to get it. That's what I don't get.

:shrug:

[stanwyck]

22. This is why my co-worker ripped off his "W"

it happened right after he filled up his SUV. He said he had a mental image of Dubya hand in hand with the Saudi prince. For some people, the environment, women's rights, healthcare, education, the lies about Iraq and the subsequent invasion....it doesn't matter. But money out of their wallet? Now that matters. And that little tax rebate is long forgotten now. (though Bush reeled in quite a few with that one). Poor suckers. They should have realized that the little tax rebate was no match for all the Bushy surcharges.

[ailsagirl]

24. Ah yes... that little rebate. Those were the honeymoon days, I

guess. He sure as hell wouldn't do it today!!!

[lildreamer316]

25. I'm still gonna put this sticker on:

(as soon as I make it up)
"I'd give up my tax cut for the life of one soldier"

[stanwyck]

29. Make it.

And I'll buy it.

28. Overlays for W04 Stickers

My daughter and I run a promotional product business -- you know, one of those "we can print anything on anything" print shops.

We've been toying with the idea of making self-adhesive transparent stickers exactly sized to fit over those annoying oval "W04" window and bumper stickers. We're scheming about printing some appropriate message on our transparent stickers, to the effect of "I voted for (W04) and all I got were lies and war" or "I voted for (W04) and I really f*cked up" wrapping around the "W04" oval.

Any other short, but barbed, message come to mind?

As I said, we're just toying with the idea... but imagine the remaining * sheeple sporting that "lies and war" text on their sticker... At the very least, the sticker would be removed quickly.

Sometimes I do amuse myself, really I do.

32. Welcome to DU, you schemer, you! :^D

[ScreamingMeemie]

30. Let's hope it's not because he's trading it in for a Hummer...

:hi:

[Jawja]

31. Well, if the SUV is

being traded in for a Hummer, he must be moving, because I don't think it would get through the doors of the parking garage!

:hi:

[OrlandoGator]

34. He's a fucking coward. He should stand by his man.

You don't see many Nixon stickers these days, either.

[Ladyhawk]

35. I took off my anti-Bush stickers because now is not the time to be

rear-ended or side-swiped by some maniacal bushbot. The neck...she's still healing. :D
