Stunning news - I saw my first pro-McCain bumper sticker today
I think we have to be worried now - after seeing hundreds of Obama bumper stickers this year, I saw my first pro McCain bumper sticker today... and, I'm pretty sure it was not like one of those "McCain = Bush's 3rd Term" stickers, either.

It was in the Hartford, CT area, but was on a Mercedes SUV with Virginia plates.

Very worried.

1. 8 yard signs in Des Moines today
Of course they were all in front of the office of the Republican Party of Iowa. I have not seen a single one in front of a residence here. :headbang:

2. Did you destroy said vehicle and the occupants?
Republicans are a disease, and must be exterminated, stamped out. The country must be disinfected of them.

3. What's going on? I saw my first today on a Mercedes Benz...
White guy in a suit.

I was taken aback because this is the D.C. area and is Obama country. That's like going into Harlem waving a confederate flag. :puke::puke:

4. Watch CorpMedia jump all over this...
They'll claim the 1 McCain sticker for every 100 Obama stickers ratio proves the election is a dead heat!

6. We recently drove from rural VA to rural NY and
only saw ONE McSame bumper sticker on the whole trip-- up and back. And our route took us through MD and WestVA too.

The bumper sticker in question was on a pickup with Bush/Cheney stickers still on it, spotted in a fairly bleak area of PA.

9. I've only seen a couple.
And I live in Georgia! I've seen so many more Obama stickers, & that gives me hope, even in this very red state.

11. I heard about the stickers but haven't seen any yet
in MD, particularly in PG County (which is 95% African-American and very pro-Obama). You're right about one thing--if this old bubba gets in we're really gonna be screwed and I'll be haulin' my ass up to Canada for 4 years!

Scary thought.

:scared:

But the Ron Paul stickers continue to be everywhere.
