Copycat/parody of this thread.

So, I'm driving down US-290, going to work. All of the sudden, the car to my right puts his turn signal on to merge in my lane. I notice he has a Bush/Cheney 2004 bumpersticker. Not only do I not lay on the horn, flip him the bird, or scream expletives at him, I actually ease off the gas to let him in!

And you know what that repub did after I let him in? You how he expressed his appreciation?

He waved thanks in his rearview mirror!

Now I ask you, am I a bad democrat? Should I have stepped on the gas and cut him off?
============================================================

Folks, road rage and politics is a bad mix. During the morning/afternoon commute is not the place to express your contempt of the current administration by engaging in road-warrior tactics with anybody with a republican or conservative bumpersticker. I've seen threads here about how people were harrassed by assholes on the road for their leftie bumperstickers. How about showing the same solicitude to other drivers that you yourself expect, regardless of political affiliation?

End of morning soapbox sermon. Can I get an "Amen!"?
