Miz t. and I are on the way home from a visit to daughter and family near Boston.
She gave us an Obama magnetic sticker.
I put it on the gas tank door.
Did you know the whole rear end of a Prius is PLASTIC?
Yep.
Going through Virginia, one car passed us and gave us
Miz t,. lady that she is, shot them the bird.
In Tennessee we saw a big billboard "TAKE BACK AMERICA - FIRE OBAMA"
"Paid for by MicMinn County Republican Party"
But no from passing motorists.
???
Now we're in Chattanooga for the night.
Tomorrow we travel the length of Alabama to our home on the gulf coast.
We're keeping the magnet on.
Fuck 'em.

(70,210 posts)in fact, all the ones i have met are mostly intelligent and rational.
the president of the chicago tea party got beat like a drum in '10. didn't even win his own precinct. so, i don't lose too much sleep on them.
they are bad out in the burbs, tho.

(37,648 posts)That's cool. While Union internationals are pouring millions into Obama's coffers, Union members are out in force, busting their asses to get Obama reelected and some people show their support by purchasing non-union, non-American built cars. If you ever wonder why Dems have a problem with white, working-class voters, look no farther than what you drive.

Toyota was the only hybrid I could find back then.

My magnetic sticker is the one that looks like the romney logo at first glance but it says ROFLMAO.
I take it off when I park as I'm certain it will walk.

(54,256 posts)This morning we're leaving the motel in Chattanooga.
I slap the Obama magnet on the gas tank door.
And Miz t. says..."Hon?"
"What?"
"I don't want to be run off the road back in Alabama. I understand that you want to make a statement, but is it worth the risk of our lives?"
I stop and think about it.
Jeez.
"Do you really feel that strongly about it?"
"I do Hon. We're in the winter of our lives. We want to see our grandchildren grow up. At least for a few more years? Really. Let's just cool it for now."
How the hell do you argue with that.?
It makes me sad and pisses me off that politics has come to this.
Thanks Fox, Coulter, Beck, O'Reilly, Limbaugh, Rove, et al.
This is the 'America' you've given us.
I put the magnet in the back seat.
