Ok, now I happen to think that putting bumper stickers with your political preference on your car is pretty stupid, but to each his own I guess.

Now, I can understand seeing Obama or McCain bumper stickers and I see a lot of them but I still see Bush/Cheney bumper stickers from time to time! Really?!?!

That seems crazy to me! Not only do they have the same sticker on their car from 4 or 8 years ago, but they still proudly show off their Bush/Cheney sticker!!! Granted most are old beat up pick-up trucks, but still...that's crazy! Are these people actually proud of their allegiance so much that they want everyone to know?!?!

To me the equivalent to having a Bush/Cheney sticker on your car is having a sticker that has a picture of a guy taking a giant dump on the world while sticking out his middle finger and telling everyone to fuck off!

    We saw a Kennedy/Johnson the other day. You could still actually read it. :)
    I still want you all to "take care"--I am just damn tired of typing it.

    Get the fuck out!!

    lol...

    In all seriousness, I recommend that people go here (http://www.makestickers.com/) and design their own. I get so sick of seeing people with same stickers. I have made some effective (if I do say so) stickers myself at their site.

    Examples:
    Love is more important than faith. (gets under people's skin.. and generates good conversation)
    Don't be a coward. Vote for Ron Paul. (this one has pretty much just generated hard stares hehe)
    Jesus hates war, stupid. (I haven't made this one yet. I don't think my wife will get in the car with me if I do)
    Love is more important to me than faith.
  • i still see a lot of 'kerry' bumper stickers
  • I see more Kerry/Edwards bumper stickers in and around seattle then Obama stickers. If libs are still proud of that tandem I have no doubt I will be seeing Obama bumper stickers for the rest of my life, win or lose.

    My husband and I were fumbling around trying to take a picture. I came home and tried to look it up online, and sure enough--it was an original.

    With this election year, I would put one on my car just for fun. :)

    They should replace them with bumber stickers that say, "It's my fault we're in this fucking mess".

    Actually, we should make those stickers and go around putting them on people's cars next to the Bush stickers. :D

    Two months ago I saw a McCain sticker for the first time here in DC/MD. I still haven't seen a MccCain/Palin sticker yet and I drive by the VP's house everyday to go to work.

    I'm in the city, so, I'm not driving much ... I do see a lot of folks haning signs in their windows ...

    Not a surprise .... (see location)

    95% Obama .... 5% Hillary Clinton. Have yet to see anything for McCain.

    There's someone down the street from me that still has a Dennis Kucinich sign proudly displyed .... along with an Obama sign.

  • I saw a Dole/Kemp sticker a few weeks ago. The weird thing was that it was clearly very new and showed no signs of wear or fading. :D

    Not around here...... Midwest, midsouth, Ohio River Valley... whatever you want to call it. Most I see are on nice, late model vehicles. I automatically dislike the drivers of the car because of that. I know I shouldn't, but I can't help it. Why would anyone be proud of that fact? Especially now.

    I have a Cheney/Satan '08 bumper sticker on my car. I parked beside someone with a W sticker at the market today.

  • Something I really like about my Obama sticker, it is totally easily removable. It even says "removable" on the sticker back so I took it off and put it back on. What a great invention...the removable sticker.
