(or worse) because I recently put a DU sticker on the back window. Has anyone experienced problems having their bumper sticker on their car (I'm in VA)? My attitude is "f*ck them! They shove their W stickers all in my face; here's mine!"

1. Good for you!
I just ordered a "John Kerry for president 2008" bumper sticker.
I am sick of seeing the Bush ones too!
What does yours say?

2. Oh, it's just the democraticunderground.com sticker that I got for

donating. I like your sticker, though. I want to put an upside flag magnet on my car, but I think that will invite trouble, especially in this town (Richmond).

6. I backed my car up so it faces 'out' in the parking lot at work, but can't
do this when I park on the street. I put it on so I can peel it off easily, though I hate to to do that. Doesn't it suck that the freepers apparently don't seem to give a shit, but we have to worry?

Here's something: I interviewed w/ a company this summer (I determined pretty much off the bat I didn't want to work for them b/c the guys were obnoxious and rude to me during the interview. Well, I happened to see one of their company trucks on the street today...with a "Bush-Cheney" sticker on the window. Jackasses.

5. I haven't put one on yet...but I'm going to.
I've been a member for a year. I think Skinner and the Admins are revamping the store, and I requested that they put DU bumperstickers in there. I'm putting it on when I get one.

BUT ... we live in Rethuglicanland out here in the Inland Empire (San Bernardino and Riverside Counties - I live near Temecula, Ca.). My husband got worried when I put 'ABB ,' two 'Kerry/Edwards' stickers, a PFAW (People for the American Way), and a 'Defend America - Defeat Bush.' on the minivan.

As it turns out, no one bothered me. The neighbors gave me a few looks. The BIG NEWS is that I got a lot of 'thumbs up' from all the progressives I did not even know were here. So, it can be a great thing! You may be surprised by how many people agree with you.

Have any of you flipped anyone the bird (either to his/her face or as you drove by) who has a Bush-Cheney or W sticker on their car? I need to be careful, as I don't want to get shot, but I've actually done this while speeding by. Not very smart I admit. I get so pissed!:nuke:

9. Getting your car keyed usually doesnt happen...
but it might get taken away. I remember my dad's Wesley Clark sticker was torn of his car when he was in the Repub stronghold of Kern County in CA.

Thanks. Fortunately, I wasn't hurt; freaked out, but that was about the worst of it. We like the car.
