Dogs Against Romney" bumpersticker and have gotten nothing but thumbs up and inquiries as to where they could get one. I live in a deep red part of Michigan.

was vandalized repeatedly (flattened tires, bent radio antenna, broken headlight) for my anti-war bumperstickers. A couple times I was pretty sure some pro-war Yahoo was dogging me on the street and freeway. Few things scarier than being in a sub-compact (Nissan Sentra) and getting bird-dogged by some land yacht.

with all sorts of Kerry and anti Bush bumper stickers on my truck. My feeling was that it was a good day if I don't get shot at

Yeah, having a Kerry sticker in 04 and currently an Obamacare sticker is very scary here. It's a risk I take. There are a lot of DUers here who have no idea what we have to go through. But, I won't quit expressing myself. No one's gonna stop me.

I live in Mississippi and I have been truly afraid of what would happen to my car if I displayed my 'Women for Obama' sticker. These are some seriously rabid republicans.

nobody messed with the sticker and it was still on the truck when it was sold this year. Wear it with pride!

and put it on right under your obama sticker.
so when they see one, they will see the other.

I have a Karate sticker on my car, and people leave me alone.

It works!

Apparently, the President Obama campaign donation site is mailing me one for my donation.

So anticipating this bumper sticker in the mail, I noticed a bumper sticker on a car at work.

It simply said "NObama"

Then a fear crept into me. With a simple marker, one could easily change my sticker to read the same. So then i concluded I will tape the sticker on the inside of my rear window so it cannot be violated.

I'm not afraid to put up the sticker. I'm afraid that the party of "God's ethics" will vandalize my sticker. Or in much simpler terms, the guys at work would do this and just brush it off as a "practical joke". Perhaps I'm paranoid, but it is a far cry from buying preserved food and ammunition.

The deep red, batshit crazy Teabagger zone. They've not messed with my car yet. However, I have had a run in at a gas station once. Which was just verbal and I asked them if they kiss their mother with that nasty mouth.

Do it. You'll feel good for supporting the president in a "red zone."

and last weekend wore my Obama 2012 Tee Shirt out to do the weekly shopping.

Mrs. 1StrongBlackMan just knew I was spoiling for a fight. I got several positive comment and even more nods; but a few "mad mugs" ... But it was worth it when a tattoed bald guy, that stood about 6' 4", got off his bike and made a bee-line toward me. As I braced myself for some teaparty sh!t, he said, "It must be tough to be an Obama supporter in this town."

I responded, "Not really ... I don't see that we have a choice. I work for a living!"

He smiled and said, "you got that right. brother."

I'm convinced that Arizona is in play this cycle.
