What would this collection of bumper stickers and magnets say to you?

A Russ Feingold 04 bumpersticker

A "Support Kerry 08" bumpersticker

A yellow ribbon magnet with a peace sign and the words "Bring the troops home now"

A hand that is either giving you a peace sign or a victory sign with one purple finger.

4. i don't know but it might get people's attention and get them interested

in looking it up to see what it means and they might just end up learning more about things during their research.

5. A friend

Someone that I could agree with when discussin g politics..:shrug: I agree with all of those signs but don't have any on my vehicle.

6. The reason for each being there

"Russ Feingold" because he's my Senator.

"Support Kerry 08" because I do.

The yellow ribbon with the peace sign and the "bring the troops home now" message is about as close as I'm ever going to get to a yellow ribbon that says what I want it to say. I'm hoping that it's main message is "I support the troops, but not the war". While not perfect, it's closer than just the average ribbon. Though I suppose the Kerry sticker and a normal yellow ribbon would probably convey the same basic message.

I liked the peace/victory magnet, because regardless of what the original intent was, I saw a peace sign with an Iraqi symbol of voting on it. So for me, it symbolizes the Iraqi people's hope for peace. And for their sake, I hope for it too, though I think this administration is as likely to back into success accidentally as anything else.

But still, y'all confirm my fears that it's a bit of a message wapatulli.

So, which decoration needs to go for it to be more coherent?

8. Thoughts from Wisconsin

I was with you until the purple finger. That was way too iconic for the Republicans. I just can't stop picturing the lemmings as the State of the Union.

My bumper sticker "Who would Jesus Bomb?"

[Blue Belle]

9. Mine is a quote from Voltaire....

"Those who can make you believe absurdities, will make you commit atrocities".

Then I have a "W" that is circled with a slash through it placed just below the quote.

[LittleClarkie]

12. So tempted to try and find a W sticker and add "TF" to it.

As it is, there is a triangle that came out of my yellow ribbon magnet that I want to take a sharpie to. I'd like to write "Pick one" on it, and put it on a car that has both a "support the troops" magnet and a W sticker. Sorry, either support W or the troops, dude.

11. Maybe if it didn't look like a peace sign

The woman who had it on her car said her husband was making them. I asked what they were supposed to mean. She kept going into a description of the Iraqis voting and then giving that victory/peace sign to cameras. I kept having to repeat "I know about that. But what is the message you're trying to convey."

Yep, definitely because it struck me as a peace sign, if it had been that one finger up deal that the Repubs were doing at the SOTU speech, it would have been a different story I think.

Confusing maybe, but as J17 said, maybe it'll make some folks think down here in Freeperville, Wisc. (Suburb of Waukesha County for you, since you're in Wisc.)

13. Don't talk to me about Freeperville

I live in Oshkosh.

10. I honestly don't see the schizophrenia others see

in your choices.

one can support the troops and support democratic elections in Iraq, and still be a good democrat.

7. A Democratic Wisconsin family member of a soldier in Iraq

who has hope that the Iraqi elections will do some good, or this person is an Iraqi expatriate in addition to the above.
