Poll question: How many "W '04" stickers are there in your area now?
I used to see them everywhere. I even caught my neighbor putting one on his F-250 about a week _after_ the election. You know what I'm talking about. Those damn "W '04" stickers. Assuming a post-election high point of ostentatious display in late 2004/early 2005, how many W '04 stickers (relatively speaking) are you seeing in your area these days?

19. I kept my Kerry sticker on until the end of December...
after that I saw no point in keeping it on my car...maybe the thugs had the same idea...either that or they are no longer proud of our distinguished leader.

3. Very Few in Marin
A lot of the yellow ribbon support the troops decals though.
And one woman who drives something like a RAV that has a huge flag and huge signs that state: "Freedom Isn't Free"

My mindset jerks into this whenever I see her "Well, Freedom is sure free for Some People. It certainly is free for those who get to spend their day doing little other than parading around the freeways inside their gas-guzzling road hogs proclaiming how much scarifice it all entails..."

A lot fewer!
Here in Georgia, those "W '04" stickers were EVERYWHERE before and after the election. The same for those "Bush Cheney '04" stickers. But recently I've been seeing a lot less of those. It's especially been a while since I've seen one on a gas-guzzling SUV or pickup truck.

On the other hand, I have been seeing a lot more of those "F The President" stickers! :D

4. an interesting twist: less "w" stickers, but more bush/cheney campaign
stickers.
Don't know what that means, exactly.

7. I don't either
but I've seen some of both on cars here in NW Arkansas. The one that turned my stomach was the truck with Bush/Cheney stickers and a sign bragging about how many "kills" his son had made in Iraq.

31. My thought, too
I am in Little Rock - still see some, but number seems down from just a month or two ago. Isn't this about the time of year car prices are the best? (not that it matters to Bushie's rich supporters)

6. One reason why I think I see fewer recently
People can't afford to drive their SUV's as much. You don't see W stickers on many vehicles that get over 15 MPG. Suckers.

8. Atlanta area Bush stickers
I live in the intown area of Atlanta and there are anti Bush stickers on thousands of cars. Then if you travel out I-285 (Beltway) I still see way to many W's on large SUV's, trucks and Hummers. I have a Social Workers Against Bush and a Fire Rove on my car.....Cheers...... www.seangettings.com

16. Welcome to DU from a fellow GA DUer!
Check out the Georgia forum. We have ocassional meet ups at Manuels in Atlanta. Sometimes Mike Malloy and his family attend!

I live in Athens but work in a nearby red county. The bigger or more expensive the vehicle, the more likely it is to have a B-C sticker, a W sticker and/or a fish symbol.

:hi:

9. About the same...still more Kerry/Edwards stickers than * stickers
but I am in southern Arizona which is one of those tiny islands of blue sanity when you look at the election results by county. Arizona is a big red state, but there is a nice solid block of blue in the southern tip.

11. I've been noticing a lot fewer in the last couple of months...
and I live in a red, red suburb of Dallas where they were about as common as the SUVs that usually adorned them. I think it was right around when all the Rove/Plame stories were coming out that I began noticing them disappearing.

13. I think anyone who shills for the
chimp on the back of a vehicle, ought to replace the W or chimp/cheney sticker with one that says "Another Clueless Moran."

And, yes, there are brainless idiots here in Southern California who still proclaim their own stupidity by displaying those stickers.

14. a LOT fewer, in my red town
Edited on Wed Oct-05-05 12:33 PM by meganmonkey
Virtually none where I work, which is very blue.

Although the other day I saw the FUNNIEST thing.. I passed a semi truck with block letters on the back that said:

GET RID OF THE LIARS - VOTE REPUBLICAN

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
I thought maybe it was a joke until I saw the guy's face in the rear-view mirror as I was laughing hysterically

18. I have noticed some stickers disappearing, but still
there are more than I thought there would still be.

While visiting the outlaws in Ohio, I saw a "I stand with President Bush" sticker. Talk about hurl-worthy! :puke:

25. There are less W stickers in Manhattan, if that helps.
During the election I saw one or two buttons all season. Now I see none.

In fact I saw one of those ridiculous Bush/Cheney Farm and Ranch team ones. What the hell is that all about?

27. Thankfully , Im in a Democratic area of Ohio
Lots of Labor Dems who would kick a republicans ass if he looked at us sideways.

Not many have the balls to fly a Bush sign.

To be fair though...we still have about the same number of Kerry-Edwards stickers.

29. I don't see as many as I used to.
But I recently moved to a bluer neighborhood in a blue city in a blue state, so that may account for the drop-off.

30. Still see Kerry stickers. Still see some Bush-Cheney, too. I think
some Texans still admire old Cheney, who is honest in his nastiness and not a fool. * is a joke. I get a lot of compliments for my "Bush Lied" sticker.
