Okay, my Republican friend is talking to me again and relayed this information:


He said he went out and found a typed message on his windshield. And it said:

"I'm sorry to inform you that your car has been vandalized. It appears someone has stuck a Romney/Ryan sticker on the back of your car. I just didn't want you looking like an idiot driving around all weekend."

Signed, a concerned citizen.

Pretty much word for word what you just posted, except it said "Obama".

Weird.

there are two in my apt complex and that note might make a difference to one of the people, but the other also sports:

Reagan/Bush
McCain/Palin
Limbaugh/Beck

and

Obamnomics: punish success reward failure

etc.

this guy is not making a great living. the car is not old enough for the reagan/bush sticker, but it's old enough. my complex is very modest. why he's a right wing reactionary? you got me. i have a couple theories but i don't know, because they all involve some degree of cognitive dissonance.

My theory: In his reality, his life would not only be successful, but also all bright and shiny, if only "those" people weren't in office, messin' up his country. He's certainly not to blame for his ignorant, miserable life.

There always has to be a "them" at whom to point the finger of blame. Mirrors are avoided at all cost.

Don't know if it will do any good, but it's still funny as hell and just might make the driver think for a moment.

I love that, too! It actually does tell me something negative about those people. By thy voting record art thou known, and all that...


Glad you're here! We need you - we DO NOT have this thing nailed down yet. Should be obvious after that abysmal debate last week...





Now get to work.

Here in the only red county of Maryland, I see *very few* R-money stickers at all. 4 years ago, it was all McCain/Palin, all the time. (I still see one car with a "Don't mess with Sarah" sticker on it and it gives me a chuckle.)

There is a HUGE R-Money poster in the same spot the McCain one was last time and it takes all my restraint NOT to spray paint "hahahhahahh, really???" on it. My luck, it'll be the one time I get caught. Also too: someone stole our Obama yard sign and I was pissed so I won't do that to anyone ... but still, I can dream right?
