Wow! So far this week I've gotten three thumbs up . . .
...and two honks from passing motorists. I've been sporting some pro-Kerry & anti-Bush bumper stickers for a couple of months now & this is the first positive reaction I've received. Received one negative reaction.

Is the tide changing? Do you feel it?

3. You're lucky
I have an Anybody But Bush (I've ordered some Kerry Edwards stickers but I don't have them yet) and my car got keyed. And I get flipped off about twice a week.

4. I know what you mean
I still have my Dean sticker on my car, one for my Senate candidate, Mary Squires, and one that says "In an arranged marriage with John Kerry, Still in love with Howard Dean." I live in Redneckville (Covington, GA) and I get the usual losers in their big pickup trucks flipping me off and thumbs down all the time. I just smile back and flash them the peace sign. It truly pisses them off when you don't respond with anger at their anger.

5. A big 4x4 Pickup in Houston
Hey ... hey ...

Easy on the big pickup stuff ..... I suspect it is THE reason I have not been keyed or Cheneyed .... is that it is a stereotypical "redneck-mobile".

Got a Kerry sticker AND a "w" encircled with a red circle with a slash through it right in the middle of the back window ...

I ALWAYS welcome the chance to convert the brain dead ....

It's tough down here in "w-land" but we ARE makin progress !!

Help make a SOLID conversion today ... although I admit the main comment was "That Edwards is a good lookin feller isn't he?" But hey; we'll take em anyway we can get em. The looks got their attention enough to read all about The Shrub Cartel's crimes and John and John's record and strengths !!

I have the misfortune of also livin in Tom "Hairspray" DeLay's district and I can tell ya'll ... even us dumbass Texans get sick and tired of bein drygulched and lied to by a bunch of slimeballs.

My personal mission is to help end the political careers of "w", Perry, Cornym, Hutchinson, Perry and yeah ... that weenie DeLay.

Any help ya'll can give us ($$$$ and letters to editors) would much appreciated.

Oh yeah ..... and our other car is a 740IL .... Mama doesn't "do" pick-um-up-trucks .....

7. last night
In Baltimore (where you're more likely to see Kerry stickers on Jettas than
BushFuckoff '04) I saw a big ol' Dodge Ram p/u truck with 3 stickers:

"Harley Davidson"
"Union YES"
and "W" inside the red circle with line thru the middle ("No W").

woo hoo!

'course not 200 yds away was a Toyota p/u (!) with:

"War IS the answer"
"I'd rather be historically accurate than politically correct"
and
"W '04"

This was outside a pub that had a week long 'wake' for Raygun...

6. Someone spit on my Kerry sticker this weekend.
I came back to my car and saw the spit right on the sticker. Very gross. That shows you the mentality of the average bush* supporter.
