What evidence have you seen of *'s low approval ratings?

[Bouncy Ball]

Have you noticed W stickers disappearing from cars where they used to be?

Signs gone out of yards? (One guy a few blocks away had a sign in his front yard that read "SUPPORT PRESIDENT BUSH!" and it disappeared about four months ago. Now the guy ACROSS from him has a sign out that reads "HAD ENOUGH? VOTE DEMOCRATIC!" Hee. Those must be fun block parties.)

Do people not seem as willing to discuss bush anymore? Do they change the subject? Act uncomfortable?

I've seen all these things. It's like he's persona non grata. It's great to see.

[Swamp Rat]

1. Yep

Here's one to cover the old pro-Bushler stickers:

[Deja Q]

2. A * supporter is selling his truck...

Has a * sticker on it, but he forgot to remove it and no doubt it's still for sale because of it. He's been trying to be rid of it for at least 6 months.

[Bouncy Ball]

3. Pfffft!!

You aren't gonna give him a little selling tip and suggest he remove it, are you?

LOL.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

4. Bouncy, I don't know about you, but here in the red, red, N.Dallas burbs,

the evidence is mostly "indirect". I don't hear anyone talking about what a crappy job * is doing or what a disaster Iraq is and WTF are we doing there etc.

What is mostly evident is ABSENCE of any talk about politics and what not. And a lot less W stickers than before.

[Bouncy Ball]

6. Yep, that's mostly what I'm talking about.

I used to see this swagger and sort of a bragging, smug style when *'s name came up in the past. Now, it's more like crickets chirping outside and someone changing the subject ("they say it's going to rain tomorrow").

I think that speaks volumes, though.

[elehhhhna]

14. We have a ding ding new neighbor who "thinks we should bomb Iran"

I offered to print his enlistment papers off the 'net then & there.

Haven't seen him or his wife much, lately.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

20. Ah yes, the classic "what 'we' are you talking about, Kemosabe?"

"We" = poor suckers who would actually sign up in the military

[roguevalley]

18. same here in red alaska. I have been accosted by people at the

pump who are FED UP and at the drugstore. they are talking and it doesn't look good for the repugs. also, the letters to the editor in local papers are a good hint. it doesn't look good for the pugs up here, not there and not out in the streets. you used to get opposition when you would go off in public on the idiot. now people nod in agreement.

5. my asshole bil has turned on the bush--bil is still an asshole though.

BTW whenever i see a car or truck or land yacht next to with a Bush sticker i always try and see what the driver looks like---am i alone in this?

[bluethruandthru]

8. You're not alone.

I usually point at them and laugh! Hah!

[Stinky The Clown]

10. Nope ... you're not alone

I even try to assess people's politics in the grocery line or in other stores ... mostly by their reactions to the anti-bush or pro dem tee shirts I almost always wear.

[janx]

21. You DO? Does Sparkly wear them too?

I'd love to see a pic...!

[Stinky The Clown]

29. Well, she's not quite as brave as me ......

.... I'm a lot more 'in your face' than Sparkly. The last political tee shirt she wore was a few weeks ago when she and SparklyJr went out with Kerry04 t-shirts on.

I have a whole fleet of anti-bush t-shirts. Of late, they've all gotten many positive reactions. As little as a year ago, not so much. For example, my Hero-Zero t-shirt with Democraticunderground.com on the back and the pictures of Kerry and Il Dunce-in-a-flight-suit side by side was not a crowd pleaser at the Viet Nam Memorial just last year.

[greekspeak]

17. I try to do the same thing. The motorist usually looks like Dennis Hastert

whether the motorist is male or female. Or, it is some grumpy looking person with a face so pinched with Repukelicanism that looks like he or she just ate a sour apple.

[Stinky The Clown]

7. Well ...... I posted this over in GDPol ........

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x2655653

Even retired military seem to be 'off the bush' ... if they were ever even on board.

[Bouncy Ball]

11. LOL, great post. Especially the bored, sleepy

bartender.

[proud patriot]

9. lots more thumbsups on the road ..

It's been ages since I've been flipped off
or yelled at .

young people coming up to the house to let us
know they think our yard signs and bushoccio
is cool ...

There are 2 holdouts in the neighborhood with
their bush stickers ..All the rest are gone .

[Bouncy Ball]

12. You just reminded me.

I saw a car near my daughter's school with "IMPEACH BUSH NOW!" shoe-polished in white all over the windows. I was gobsmacked, I've never seen that before around here.

I wanted so badly to turn back around and see who it was, but we had an appointment to get to.

[proud patriot]

22. It's window chalk not shoe polish

You can buy it at party stores in the wedding
or bingo sections ...Washes off super easy
and comes in lots of colors .. White is more
visible from afar

[Bouncy Ball]

25. Well, LOL, it USED to be done with shoe polish.

I'm a bit behind the times in this area, I suppose.

[Jigarotta]

13. maybe they're starting to feel like people

instead of a political arm.

all I can say is don't rub their noses in it and point and laugh. we are all the same (cept the uppercrusty 1%)

[Bouncy Ball]

15. I don't. I love it.

Even my in laws are sending my husband anti-bush emails, which I never in a million lifetimes thought I would see.

[greekspeak]

16. Very little. Of course, in Tallahassee, he wasn't popular to begin with

I would say that I have seen a little more distaste for him. I think that the people that support him are holding steady. I hear people talking about all the evil "libruls" and wearing their Club Gitmo shirts like badges of honor. I still see a lot of cars with "Bush/Cheney 04" stickers. One I saw today had some crap about there can never be too many children, just like there can never be too many flowers. I think she meant white American babies, not the brown ones in other countries. I still see houses with their support signs all over them. The guy with the "support president * and our troops" recently put up a fresh copy. So the morans are still about like always.

HOWEVER

On campus, the rhetoric has changed a bit. When I first got to Florida State, the campus was fairly quiet about the Dipshit in the White House. There were a few stop signs with "bush" painted under the "stop." Now I see more bumper stickers that excoriate Shrub. There are some who have chalked the horrifying statistics of Iraq on the exterior walls and sidewalks. There is even a template someone used to put a picture of Shrub with the words "intelligent design" under them. Nobody has tried to clean these up; they are left to weather naturally. I think that some of my students this summer have a glowing disgust with Shrub, right under the surface, about to burst out.

[Roon]

19. They are discussing the immigration issue

It seems to work!

[jrw14125]

23. will not discuss. or just forward stupid emails already debunked on snopes

[Rageneau]

24. I won't be satisfied until all GOP politicians are wearing WPE* T-shirts.

WPE = Worst President Ever.

[ArbustoBuster]

26. Among my friends, the liberals and moderates are speaking up...

...and the conservatives are shutting up. Any discussion of the government or the economy is turning into a "drive those corrupt Republicans out of office" session. The conservatives who used to bluster and spew their talking points are now being slapped down by everyone else, instead of getting a polite hearing from us...so they're keeping very quiet. And looking uncomfortable when politics are discussed.

It's heartening.

[Bouncy Ball]

27. Gas prices are an especially uncomfortable topic

for bushies, I have noticed.

[tlsmith1963]

28. Nice

Now they know how we've been feeling the last few years. It's been pure hell. Let them experience some of it for awhile.

30. My brother..

.... works in an office full of wingnuts. He is literally the only politically sane person there, and I take full credit for that :)

Everyone used to talk politics/Bush all the time. They used to delight in making him uncomfortable.

But no more. Nobody talks about Iraq, nobody talks about Bush, nobody talks about politics any more.

Once in a while my brother flashes them a smug smile. Bless his heart :)

on edit: BTW, he works in Fort Worth, TX, I'm in Dallas
