I know a site full of 'Democrats' who would surely do something like that.

Because even HRC supporters are not ignorant, stupid, and asinine enough to resort to red baiting of a fellow Democratic nominee and his followers.

every minute... Maybe you're being sarcastic?

Probably the worst was how the Sanders' "honeymoon" (sic) in the Soviet Union played out here for days actually.



I'm actually pretty heartsick over the deterioration of relationships here because of the primaries. The name calling is pretty sad...

I had some Obama stickers taken off my car in 2008...in our employee parking, no less.

I'm prepared this go round...I've got LOTS of Bernie stickers. Pukes or Hill supporters can try all they want to silence my voice but it ain't gonna work.

Go Bernie!

Go Berners!

6. I always get my Democratic yard signs stolen here in very rural America

This year I put up Bernie signs in the field I keep my Anatolian Shepard. She's a really big shepard and she has a deep bark but she is as sweet as the lambs she protects. She likes to chase the cars as they pass the fence between the pasture and the road. Obviously she's protecting the sheep from those vicious cars.

Funny though, no one has touched my Bernie signs. I think I will put another one out there.

Tue Nov 3, 2015, 01:19 PM
Nov 2015

I usually write it in small letters on the edges followed by "Exodus 20:15." The yard signs tend to last much longer. I think it totally flummoxes them by showing how radically inconsistent their dogmas are. Of course that doesn't stop "good guys with right wing ideologies" from swearing at me when they see my bumper stickers or breaking my windows with their pellet guns, but at least the signs last!

exactly that. They organized into teams with pickup trucks and would go around late at night and steal all the signs for Democratic candidates.

20. Let me tell you about Orange County, California:
Tue Nov 3, 2015, 02:17 PM
Nov 2015

In 2000 and 2004 (when I lived there), having a Gore or Kerry bumper sticker was probably the surest way to land a speeding/failure to signal/unsafe lane change/blocking the crosswalk/anything-at-all ticket.

It was an open secret at the time that this was being done with the implied - if not explicit - encouragement of the sheriff at the time, Mike Carona (who was already measuring the drapes at the Governor's Mansion).

He later spent four years in federal prison on corruption charges and for tampering with witnesses during the trial (threats). This is him in happier days:

It just makes you look like an ass. And having to sneak around and do this would make me feel like a coward.

He refers to you as a bitch, a female designation, so you would not have testicles in the first place, making it ridiculous to accuse you of being ball-less.

sent me a free bumper sticker, first one I ever put on any of my cars. It's still intact but I don't drive much at all
