"Kerry-Edwards" signs and bumper-stickers making a comeback?

[NEOBuckeye]

Maybe it's just me, but I've been noticing a lot more "John Kerry" and "Kerry-Edwards" campaign bumper stickers on cars lately. A house convieniently situated across from the rear driveway of a Walgreens drug store in my neighborhood has even posted a Kerry-Edwards sign from the 2004 campaign in its yard.

Anyone else think America is starting to realize who our real president ought to be? Maybe it's that, or else everyday Dems are passive-aggressively making their decision in 2004 known to everyone else.

ON EDIT: I should add that I'm in the Akron-Cleveland area, which is far and away the blueest region of Ohio.

[Joebert]

1. In Nothern Colorado, just the opposite.

I haven't seen a Kerry sticker in months, but I see more W's than I EVER saw back in November.

[paulk]

15. there's quite a few in Denver

bumper stickers and even some yard signs.

there does seem to be more "W" bumper stickers, though - that and those "support the troops" yellow ribbons... mostly on SUVs or large pickup trucks.

It's really noticeable - the difference between "Bush" and "Kerry" vehicles...

[Imagevision]

60. Kerry was your President - they just stole the election again

Amazing how we all just accepted it and got over it!

And all the behind the scenes investigations went unreported by the msm.

What do you think would happen to this country if the truth came out, even Kerry knew that.

Imagine how other countries would view the US. Kerry caved, never folllowed thru with; "this time your vote will be counted" and maybe, just maybe he had no other choice.

[FreedomAngel82]

26. I haven't

seen much of either really. I still see W stickers here and there and every once in a while I'll see a "Kerry/Edwards" or "John Kerry" stickers.

[Paul Dlugokencky]

65. Lots of "W" stickers

here on Long Island, too. The worst one I've seen yet was "W = Winner 04". But there are still Kerry stickers aplenty as well.

The Kerry sign is still up in front of my yard, just in front of a "Don't Tread on Me" Navy Jack flying on our flagpole.

2. I passed a car today...

...that was plastered. And the stickers were fairly new. I honked, waved and gave a big thumbs up at the stoplight and we and the kids did a synchronized "Bush SUCKS!"

[greymattermom]

9. yep

[d_b]

3. I've seen more Kerry/Edwards stickers

since the election. I'm in Anchorage, Btw.

[derby378]

4. I've seen a few fresh Kerry/Edwards stickers, too

I'll tell you this much:

John Kerry ran a lackluster campaign. The convention in late July was, for the most part, tepid at best. Kerry's own strategists said that he faced certain death in the Presidential debates without a lot of intensive rehearsal and coaching. But I'll take John Kerry over four more years of * any time.

At least Kerry was trying to listen to the American people at times.

[k j]

49. Hmmm...

I was at the Boston Convention... and there was absolutely nothing "tepid" about it. There was nothing tepid about the debates, either. Nor was Kerry "trying" to listen to the American people "at times."

[seg4527]

5. i see them everywhere in Minneapolis and St. Paul

And before I moved here in January, I lived in rural Pennsylvania, and they were still everywhere. Cars, lighpoles, etc.

[dflprincess]

11. I've been thinking

that I've been seeing more of them lately. And that's mainly around Bloomington.

[Carolab]

17. St. Paul here.

LOTS of 'em on cars spotted on I-94 and still some yard signs about.

[kansasblue]

6. I was trying to remember....

I was trying to remember how long they hung around in the past and if that means anything. Gore stickers in 2000? Dole in 1996? I'm seeing alot but then Lawrence is fairly liberal.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

7. Kinda early for a nostalgia movement, no?

No. It is not.

But when you look at the terror alerts that were as thick as fleas on an old hound-dog, the Swift Boat Whores, the media's complicity, the war drumming, and the obvious electoral manipulations...then, fast forward to today...well, people got to be catching a clue.

Fact is, he did not run on SS "deform". He did not run on these massive cuts in programs. He did not run on instituting a theocracy. He ran on none of this at all.

"I didn't vote for this!" is something you are gonna keep hearing a lot. Do remember to remind those people that say this that yes, yes they did and they just were not paying attention to the fact that voting for the chimp was effectively voting for Ayn Rand, John Birch, Torquemada, and Crazy Gugenheim, all rolled into one. The evidence was there, too.

When they get to the part about not trusting Kerry, ask them if they trust all this, and remind them that with Kerry, at least none of this nightmare would be occurring. For a nightmare it is, and I lived through the Nixon Era. He may have been a daft little man, but he would never have attempted this.

I will say it again: by 2006, this country is gonna be going tilt.

It's gonna be a madhouse.

[FreedomAngel82]

27. During the campaign

I don't remember Bush talking about much really. Most I remember is 9/11, 9/11, Saddam Hussein, Kerry attacks, 9/11, 9/11. I never heard what Bush was going to do for me and why I should vote for him (yeah, right).

[Darkhawk32]

8. My wife was worried about having our car vandalized before the election...

now we're putting a K/E bumperstick in our window.

Gonna tell all the dumb bastards that all the crap going on in this country is NOT MY FAULT.

[BlueIris]

57. Before the election, some evil little Republican scratched the

DATE TAG off the license plate of my car. That's Machiavellian, people.

[Clarkie1]

10. Haven't seen a Kerry/Edwards sticker in over a month - S.F. Bay area

[Maat]

12. Yes. I saw more today than I did right before the election.

I'm in SoCal.

[Nikki Stone 1]

13. I've been seeing more Kerry stickers and more anti-Bush stickers

I would love a "Don't blame me, I voted for Kerry" bumper sticker.

[FreedomAngel82]

28. Me too on the sticker

Not long ago I saw a sticker that said "Elect Kerry/Edwards."

[LittleClarkie]

47. I saw "I don't have to like Bush to love my country"

Looking closer, it was done by the Two Unemployed Democrat Co. from www.seeyageorge.com.

I'll have to see if they're still there.

This was right next to a "I support any soldier" yellow ribbon.

[KaliTracy]

14. I'm in one of the "reddest" areas in Ohio (bush rallied here to 50K) - but

YES -- I'm seeing "fresh" Kerry-Edwards bumper stickers -- a few more than I saw on my daily commute. My workplace is 99.9% Republican (lone liberal), and my neighborhood is 95% Republican, but I am seeing more in the grocery parking lot and when driving to and from work than when the campaigning was going on.... I try to give a positive response whenever I see them. It's not like we're being overtaken by them or anything, but they are out there.

Have to say that there are an awful lot of "Viva Bush" and W stickers, too, though.

(I wanted to print out the word WHY? to superimpose it to their bumper stickers....)


Edit: I'm between Cincinnati/Dayton (West Chester, Ohio - close to Warren County (home of the terror-threat "lock down" on election night).

[onehandle]

16. Still tons of stickers here in Atlanta.

Not so much in the selfish red suburbs.

[vince3]

18. A lot in MI

[zulchzulu]

19. Many multi-Dem candidate stickers here in Madison

Of course, there is a plethora of Kerry/Edwards stickers on cars. There are also quite a few with various combinations....Dean/Kerry....Kucinich/Kerry....Clark/Kerry...sometimes Clark/Dean/Kucinich/Kerry....

I have a Kerry "Real Deal", which is a slight variation from this on my car...

[Nikki Stone 1]

20. I want a Kucinich/Boxer sticker.

:)

[zulchzulu]

24. How about a button?

[eridani]

30. Love it?

Are you selling it?

[zulchzulu]

36. It's all yours

I just made it...you're welcome to use the design and make buttons...

[eridani]

29. Same with Seattle--lots of combinations

A decent number of solo Kerry/Edwards stickers also. Dean/Kerry and Kucinich/Kerry are the most common. I've seen solo Kucinich and Dean stickers also.

I've pretty much gone to homemade issue stickers on bankruptcy, social security and anti-war myself. Currently in my back window I have DON'T GAMBLE WITH MY SOCIAL SECURITY next to a pair of fuzzy dice.

[snowbear]

21. Hey d_b ...

I agree with two things you said!

I live in Anchorage too... and one of my neighbors only recently put a huge KERRY/EDWARDS sticker on his mailbox. I mean.. he could have put it up during the campaign.. :o .. but nope, he JUST put it out!

Also... you are so right! There are LOTS of anti-W bumper stickers are popping up all over the place!

Pretty incredible for a RED "drill like hell" state like this! ~~~ :wow:

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

22. My John Kerry sticker has been on my car for over a year

and after the election I added "Draft Young Republicans". Neither one is coming off until 2008 when we have a Democratic nominee or when every single one of the American men and women that are presently in Iraq and Afghanistan are all safely back home.

Living in the southwest suburbs of Chicago, I've gotten quite a few thumbs up and no negative comments from anyone that's engaged me in a conversation. One older man, late 60's, wanted to know where I got "Draft Young Republicans. He wanted to put one on his car.

[postulater]

23. Someone just stole my Impeach Bush dot org sign today

but my Kerry Edwards bumper sticker is still on my car (I don't think anyone wants my 85 Saab with 225,000 miles on it, except me!).

[BlueIris]

56. Could these people please GET LIVES?

So, you stole the sticker. We still want him to hang. Idiots.

[cestpaspossible]

25. I've got the old blue one that just says

John Kerry
President

[whometense]

41. Me too.

It's a bit torn after the snows, but it's staying put. I see a ton of them every day, but I live in the Boston area, so it's no surprise.

[NVMojo]

31. funny you brought this up, I still have mine on my car and noticed

several today and wondered the same thing. I am in an area that is supposedly 80% RED!!

[MontageOfFreedom]

35. 80% red, or any of those stated numbers can not be trusted.

Remember, 80% red and the rest of the bogus numbers are distributed by Karl Rove. He's a lying, fascist proned criminal. It does not mean those were the real numbers at all with the amount of fraud that took place.

http://www.votersunite.org

One should be very suspect of those answers....Its much clearer that there are millions of republicans in so called red states, indeed all states, that voted for Kerry and had their votes switched to Bush.

[RedTail Wolf]

32. I have 50 left if anyone is interested

Contact me at [e-mail] for details if you'd like one


RedTail Wolf

[caledesi]

33. Never took mine off. Tampa, FL nt

[MontageOfFreedom]

34. Its starting to multiply.....A trend is forming..

People are awakening to the cold, horrible dream that.....Yes the election was stolen, yes these crazed fundamentalists are flooding the streets, and yes the karma is catching up.

[EMAN51]

37. "Bush made me a Democrat"

My favorite bumper sticker seen on a pickup in a Home Depot parking lot. I took a picture with my phone and made it my backdrop.

[Roland99]

40. I thought about getting one of those and putting it under my...

Republicans Against Bush sticker!

[KittyWampus]

38. Weird, But I Noticed Same. Perhaps It's Just That The Left Is Beginning

to coalesce and we're picking up on our fellow comrades existance to an even greater degree than in November.

[El Fuego]

39. I never took mine off.

I see them everywhere in Palm Beach County. Unfortunately, I still see a lot of bush stickers on the road, usually on big obnoxious SUVs.

[whometense]

42. Funny, isn't it?

I don't recall ever having seen a Bush/Cheney sticker on a Toyota.

[Arugula Latte]

43. Here in Portland (Ore.)

people never took them off. I'll see a dozen or two Kerry stickers in a day, and it's rare to see a Bush sticker.

Then again, we still have lots of people who kept their "Attack Iraq? NO!" stickers on.

I've got the W-circle-slash sticker.

[Not_Giving_Up]

44. I proudly wear my Kerry-Edwards shirt...

Matter of fact, I'm wearing it today. Unfortunately, in Texas, the W04 bumper stickers seem to be everywhere. Just yesterday, I saw a truck sporting TWO Bush-Cheney stickers and one that just said "God". I wanted to ask the guy if the thought God was running for something too.

[CatholicEdHead]

46. Still wear my Kucinich T-shrts

I try to wear them biking after work if possible.

I can put my Kucinich bumper sticker back on at any time since it was on with adheseve magnets from the hardware store.

Right now I have Minnesota Public Radio ones on waiting for the coming Klobochar and/or Wetterling bumpersticker later this year or early next for the Senate race against Mark Kennedy.

[XemaSab]

50. I've had my Dean sticker on so long

It's come back in style.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAARGH!

[NEOBuckeye]

45. Kick

Wow. The tide really does seem to be turning. :applause::woohoo:

[ray of light]

62. You're from Ohio?

I have some people, including me, who really want to work on grassroots in Ohio for the next election. Are you part of a group? I could give them this information if you email me or if you post here.

[ThomWV]

48. I've Been Asked If I Had Any More

Never took mine off, never too the sign out of the window, and there are a half dozen of them on the quarter mile of road frontage we have here at home.

Neighbors have asked if I had any I could spare. Unfortunately I do not. This is is the high hills of north eastern West Virginia.

Thom

[Richard Steele]

51. Our K/E yard sign lasted until YESTERDAY...

...when the neigbor's visiting father stole it!

Nice Repub values: When visiting another state, trespass and steal from strangers!

So typical...*sigh*

[Piedras]

52. John Kerry President

Just put a new clean :) John Kerry President :) sticker on my car.

[La Femme]

61. Yard Sign

My Kerry yard sign is still up, as well as my John Kerry bumper sticker. Unfortunately I live on a side road where only my neighbors see the yard sign.

[nevergiveup]

53. Wow, I thought I was fantasizing

I have seen more Kerry bumper stickers in the last few days than in the previous two months combined and they look new. I have an oval 48% sticker on the back of my car and get many comments...all positive. I live in the (red) far western Chicago suburbs.

[Benno]

54. I see more

W's than Kerry stuff, but I do live in a conservative suburb of st.louis. Haven't seen any Kerry yard signs in a long time, occasional bumper sticker, but mostly Bush shit.

[BlueIris]

55. Those things still perk me right up.

In my neck of the woods, I would say that 99.99% of all drivers stuck them right onto their vehicles, resale value be damned! There are a few folks out in the area I live--it's rural, but they're some of the last hold-outs against developers in my city--who still have their Kerry/Ewards signs in their yard. Nice.

[mcd1982]

58. In Austin, TX...

I am seeing WAY more Bush stickers (usually the white oval W variety) than I ever did during the election season.

I'm not sure if it's because there really are more or if b/c most ppl. have taken off their Kerry/Edwards so it's not as balanced as it was.

On my car, I simply have "I Want Roosevelt Again"

[DeaconBlues]

59. My "Veteran for Kerry" bumper sticker has not left my car

and I live here in darkest Republican territory - Nebraska. I say let the fools who voted for Bush eat it.

[jogi1969]

63. i live in Bob Jones country

and i saw a SUV - a ford explorer short bed with get this - a Kerry/Edwards & a PROUD TO BE A DEMOCRAT sticker on the bumper - the really good part?
i saw it while i was driving past BJU.

maybe just maybe even the sheeple in SC - one of the reddest states - have begun to wake up -- i can dream cant i?

[JNelson6563]

64. Interesting take

While I hardly think these folks are rallying for a repeat of 04 I also doubt these are newly applied. I suspect people leave 'em on to make a statement and they would snap up new ones if made conveniently available.

I see a lot less Kerry/Edwards stickers around here lately but I've been seeing more and more Dem friendly statements. The source for many of these bumper stickers? Our local Dem party. It's a win/win. The people get the swag they want, the local party raises some money.
