People who strill drive around with Bush/Cheney bumper stickers...

[theHandpuppet]

Just who ARE these people? I've even seen some Bush/Cheney '08 bumper stickers!

With our economy in shambles and poverty on the rise...

With the war that never ends claiming more lives every day...

With our environment on the brink of collapse...

Just who the hell still drives around proudly sporting their love for Bush/Cheney? And who in their right mind would want four more years of the Bushreich? What do they see in this incompetent and immoral regime that the rest of us must be missing?

My next-door neighbors.

They have W '04 bumper stickers alongside their "pro-life" ones. For them abortion is the ONLY issue that matters. I just can't get my brain around the thought process which enables them to vote for the murdering warmongers.

[theHandpuppet]

7. Yes, I see a lot of that combo as well

Only slightly outnumbered here by the "Sportsmen for Bush" stickers, which never made sense to me anyway.

[Tesha]

14. "Sportsmen for Bush" = Gun nuts. That slogan turns up supporting all Republicans. (NT)

[safeinOhio]

24. I saw a great one

Unemployed Sportsman For Bush. Ouch.

[theHandpuppet]

29. Was that for real???

:rofl:

Damn, I'd love to have a few of those to give away!

[safeinOhio]

34. It was real

However, I added the "unemployed" part to the one I saw. Wonder if the owner has spotted it yet?

[Echo In Light]

9. Yeah. A block away a righty woman had a "Adam & Eve, NOT Adam & Steve" sticker

Which, in our little neck o the woods this doesn't surprise me that this mindset exists, but still strange to see anyone advertising it. I noticed the sticker didn't last long before the next time I saw her car without it!

[kevinbgoode]

45. Well, then she would hate me. . .

Because my car has a bumper sticker that says: "I need to be spanked"

[theHandpuppet]

18. By the way, on a related note...

Back in '04 when I was out campaigning for Kerry one day (just passing out flyers) one woman came up to me and screamed "baby killer!" right in my face. Then she looked at my old collie I had with me and yelled, "I ought to just kill your dog!" And she just kept yelling it over and over until a whole crowd of people stopped and stared, wondering what the hell was going on.

Never will forget THAT experience!

[Echo In Light]

26. Wowzer...yeah, those authoritarians usually have a zesty delivery of their venom

We had a lot of property/auto vandalism in 04/Kerry signs/stickers ... those were the targets, not the other way around. My old beater even got key'd. Others egged, signs knocked down or stolen. Speaks volumes about the mindset of those who support the Bushites.

[Lorien]

53. Yeah, I had a Kerry sticker on my car, and one afternoon a woman

in an SUV drove up next to me as I was loading groceries into the back seat and screamed " I HOPE YOU BURN IN HELL YOU FUCKING COMMIE TRAITOR! YOU'RE A FUCKING COWARD"! I was about to respond when she slammed on the accelerator and sped off. I wonder who the real coward was, lol! Psychopaths are everywhere.

[mwb970]

35. What on earth does being "pro-life" have to do with supporting bush?

Can they not see the blood dripping from his hands? Oh, it's OK, it's not fetus blood so who cares?

[Lorien]

54. If it's not in a uterus or brain dead, they don't give a crap about it. n/t

[ixion]

2. they are the brain-washed kool-aid drinkers...unfortunately much of my family are among them

even after all this crap, they still believe * is an honorable man and a great president. How they can think this is really beyond my comprehension. Perhaps if I smacked myself in the head with a hammer a few times I might understand, but I'm not willing to go that far to understand their (ill)logic.

[Clovis Sangrail]

3. that's my town :(

[DarkTirade]

4. Of the only two people I know who have said bumper sticker on their car

one of them was one of my co-workers at my last job... and one of the most gullible morons I've ever met. The other had the misfortune of buying a used car and he couldn't get the damn sticker off without damaging the bumper.

Last I heard he was planning on covering it up with another sticker.

[Echo In Light]

11. Ha...paint or no, that fucker would be OFF before I got behind the wheel

[DarkTirade]

21. Yeah, I was a bit shocked when he was talking about finally getting a car

and the first thing I saw when I finally met this new car was that bumper sticker.

[Tesha]

15. WD40 will take it off.

The two rules of life:

o If it oughta move and it's stuck, use WD40.

o It it moves and it oughta be stuck, use duct tape.

Tesha

[Echo In Light]

17. That Goo-Be-Gone stuff should work also

[Tesha]

33. "Goof-Off" is another similar product. (NT)

[mwb970]

37. How about trying "Bushaway" or "Cheney-B-Gone"?

Those should work too.

[Echo In Light]

46. LOL...imagine the various product tag lines! "Pesky ol Bush got ya down..?"

[ProfessorGAC]

57. As Well As "Ooops"

The Professor

[DarkTirade]

20. That's a good maxim to live by, really. :)

[Echo In Light]

5. I still see plenty of them

Some likely keep them on out of spite, which may shed light on why it is they were attracted to this this regime, and how the media portrayed them and their desires from the start.

Also, for some authoritarians, the more wildly belligerent their favored leaders become in turn serves to rev up their cadre's eagerness to follow over the cliff's edge.

[boobooday]

6. The ones I've seen lately are all faded, and tattered

And look like someone has unsuccessfully tried to remove them.

[theHandpuppet]

10. You're lucky!

There's something rather frightening about seeing someone whose car sports a "Bush/Cheney '08" sticker! :scared:

[boobooday]

27. Good god, you gave me a chill

:scared:

[babylonsister]

8. The same people who will support McCain. nt

[KaryninMiami]

12. I deliberately try to get in front of them so they can see my IMPEACH BUSH & CHENEY bumper sticker

Works better on highways then local roads however. A friend once reminded me (as I jockeyed into place in front of a Bush-Chaney 08 stickered car) that Florida allows people to carry guns in their cars and suggested I be a bit more subtle. Sometimes I just try to stare them down- it is a mystery to me too though, how anyone could still have a Bush-Chaney anything one on their car...

[Echo In Light]

16. I don't do that, but plenty of Big & Stupid Vehicles With Flags will...

...roar past me, and/or cut me off when its driver is offended by my DISSIDENT/inverted flag sticker. :crazy:

Oh, incidentally, yes I do actually categorize those types of vehicles under the "Big & Stupid Vehicles With Flags" heading. They're like a bad rash on the pop culture landscape.

[Tesha]

13. Wealthy. Religiously insane. Stupid. Racist. Choose one. (NT)

[Hubert Flottz]

19. Crash Test Dummies I guess!

If not they should be!

Snake Handling Believers?

JUST PLAIN EVIL?

[JohnnyLib2]

22. Subtle signs--

I know two level headed, well-intentioned Republican families who bought into the God-patriotism-GWB stuff in 2000 and had that 'stuff' revived in 2004. The bumper stickers quietly disappeared in the past year.

It seems like some of the cars at our church have also lost the bumper stickers. Not all; they are around, but not as many.

Another subtle sign; I haven't seen one McCain sign in our KY town;
there are maybe 3 for Ron Paul. Go figure.

[The_Commonist]

23. They are the Upside-Down People

Everything in their lives and minds is Upside-Down to reality.
Their organs kundabuffer are still functioning.
They are the people Orwell warned us about - war is peace, freedom is slavery, etc.
Their conditioning was mostly based upon ancient fairy tales, filled with contradictions, and they have not thought through the implications of living inside of those contradictions.
For the most part, they do not function beyond the reptilian parts of their brains.
The Upside-Down People would rather destroy the planet and all life on it than be shown to be wrong about anything they believe, and they will likely succeed.

Of course, there are a few people out there who know what they are doing: they support the Neo-Con agenda of destroying the functions of government and privatizing everything, and killing off as many people on the planet as possible - for profit - but those people don't tend to advertise that...

[theHandpuppet]

31. There's another side to this as well

There are some among the "left behind" crowd who actually cheer on the complete disintegration of the nation and planet because they believe ths wil bring on the rapture. No shit. I see their bumper stickers all the time, e.g., "In case of Rapture, this car will be unmanned!"

[tanyev]

25. I still see plenty here in Collin County.

The delusion is powerful here. On the brighter side, they must be really demoralized about '08. I haven't seen ANY McCain stickers.

[Ishoutandscream2]

50. Saw my first McCain sticker in Rockwall County yesterday afternoon

I about fell over myself, laughing like crazy. I guess economic hardship and endless war is a big turn-on for them.

[mikeytherat]

28. People who aren't getting laid. Seriously.

Pull up next to a Bush/Cheney-stickered vehicle and look at the driver. Whether male, female, 17 or 70, it is all the same - the pursed lips, clenched teeth, locked stare, and general unhappiness expressed in the face indicate, "I'm not getting any - can you figure out why?"

mikey_the_rat

[Crazy Dave]

30. I still see more of them than for any other candidate combined

Even on vehicles that seem never than '04.

[theHandpuppet]

32. Weird, isn't it?

Some of the stickers I've seen look NEW. (Not counting the Bush/Cheney '08 stickers). I've only seen one Ron Paul sticker and one for Guiliani. Let us hope this bodes well for the level of Republican enthusiasm come fall.

[Crazy Dave]

36. The Ron Paul and Guiiani were the only other two I've seen, no McCain

But I could count all those still on one hand. I see at least one Bush/Cheney '04 or the W'04 sticker every single day, no exceptions.

As far as the dems., I see more Hillary stickers than Obama in this area but spotting those are days apart.

[theHandpuppet]

39. Have you seen the windshield decals?

The ones that say, "W- STILL THE PRESIDENT!" I've seen a number of those around here. Like we should be thankful his ass is still in the White House?

Haven't seen ANY Dem stickers around here yet but our WV primary isn't until May so you can't easily find a source without ordering them on the internet.

[Crazy Dave]

40. I'm sure the WV primary is going to be very important

Worldwide media attention like you guys probably haven't seen in a while. It will also be declared as "an important victory" for whichever candidate wins it. Did you ever think it would be like that?

[theHandpuppet]

42. Honestly, no

Our primary is so darned late I never expected it to be of any importance at all. Not many delegates but it would seem even a few makes a difference this year. I still expect the state to go red come Nov because the GOP in the heavily-populated eastern panhandle is well organized and well funded. You would think that all the D.C. commuters who have moved out here for the cheap real estate would vote Dem but they are VERY neocon, unfortunately. Their sheer numbers now cancel out the heavily Dem areas like Charleston and Huntington.

[Crazy Dave]

56. Yeah but look at Wyoming

It was getting 27/7 coverage and they have only 12 delegates. Even with a win for Obama they were literally split in half but it was still declared a "major victory and comeback" by the Obama team.

Much like all the hoopla and spin the Hillary camp put on when they called winning the American Samoa caucus a "major victory".

[theHandpuppet]

59. Um... watch the talk of primary candidiates, okay?

It could get this thread locked. And just so you'll know, I'm not voting for your candidate, though from your post I assume you thought otherwise.

[Crazy Dave]

61. My guy or your gal

They both can be full of shit sometimes :hi:

[RebelOne]

38. Still plenty of them here in North Georgia.

I live just northwest of Atlanta in a very red county and see those idiotic stickers all the time.

[madokie]

41. when I see one I try my best to get in their line of sight so I can laugh at them

I do a pretty good iteration of a belly laugh too even if I have to say so myself. ;-)

[hyphenate]

43. Here are a couple we can put on AFTER January, 2009

"Still Suffering from
the Bush Regime"

"I'm too poor to be fed
up after Bush-Cheney"

"You can't blame the Clenis anymore
for the State of the Union."

"Nixon almost looks like a
saint compared to Bush-Cheney"

"Hoping to see Bush-Cheney in
Gitmo being waterboarded!"

"We need to see Bush and Cheney
getting exactly what they deserve!

"Can't wait to see Bush enjoying the
pleasures of torture first hand!"

[ThatsMyBarack]

44. Next time I see one....

I'll just think to myself, It's almost over....:patriot:

[varkam]

47. My guess is that these folks don't read the newspaper.

That's just my guess, though. :hi:

[lonestarnot]

48. And even if they do not, it is still a demonstration of mental defect.

:hi:

[Echo In Light]

49. Yet most newspapers don't even touch upon most Bushite/gov't atrocities

Just sayin'.

[varkam]

51. Certainly not to the extent that outlets on the internet do, but even still...

If you're even dedicating 1% of your brain power to paying attention, then supporting Bush et al. is pretty much indefensible.

[Echo In Light]

55. Maybe. I suspect Bushite supporters do pay attention...of sorts

But they see everything through a very particular lense.

[Ichingcarpenter]

52. Non apologist Fascist Nazis

as far as I'm concerned.

It would be almost like wearing a swastika armband to Buchenwald these days

[Brewman_Jax]

58. I've seen those on older models

late '90's to early '00's, on car models owned by those less likely to have benefitted from this mis-administration. I haven't seen them on a Lexus, BMW, Mercedes, Cadillac, i.e., those most likely to have benefitted from this mis-administration. Not that it has never happened, I've just never seen it. Things that make you say, "hmmm..." :shrug:

[theHandpuppet]

60. I would agree with that observation

Of course, one then has to wonder why the people who have suffered the most under this maladministration are often the ones sporting the bumper stickers?

[bermudat]

62. They are still sporting the bumper stickers in Wake Forest/Raleigh, NC

These bumper stickers are invariably on SUV's and trucks.

[Wednesdays]

63. Really, why are you surprised?

All you have to do is spend 15 minutes watching Fox News, and you'll see why. A lot of people around here in Oklahoma eat that stuff up like it was made of honey. And there still are TONS of W '04 bumper stickers on SUVs in this area. :puke:
