apparently, someone let the air out of my wife's tires due to her obama sticker

[Lerkfish]

Can't prove it, didn't witness it.

she drove home from parking in a open public lot, noticed the car drove funny but didn't know why until she parked in the garage and was almost on the rim on one tire.
We weren't sure if there was an actual leak in the tire, but it was too low to drive back out again, so I used the hand pump to pump it halfway back up and watched it carefully, it lost no air, so I drove to a gas station and filled it completely back up and its fine.

so.

we think someone deliberately let the air out of the tire.


repugs are getting desperate and nasty out there. Y'all be careful.

1. Noted.

I had similar issues in 2000 when my tires were slashed and a huge nasty wad of chewing tobacco was spit on my Gore sticker. I knew immediately the reason for the vandalism.

16. No stickers, no shirts, no signs. Not for me. Just my vote.

Why ask for trouble? Most of us live surrounded by people unhinged by constant exposure to Fox "News" and RW radio gasbags, whipped into a frenzy of hate and fear by Palin/McCain. I don't see what I would gain by tempting them with a bumper sticker. I'm not going to change anyone's mind; my vote counts the same with or without the sticker.

3. Could it have been due to her driving?

Just askin':shrug:

4. um. don't think so, she's been driving for 32 years and this never happened before

and the air was completely gone from one tire, and filled up just fine with no leak.

I'm curious as to how you think her driving could cause that effect?

[MNDemNY]

6. I was being rather tounge in cheek...

but maybe she pissed someone off with her driving, or parking.Could be other factors at work.

7. ah! sorry didn't get you at first.

but no, she's a very good driver. Her and Rain Man.

14. Occam's Razor

I'll go with the bumper sticker.

5. They "keyed" my brothers car last election

and my magnetic Obama sticker was stolen off my car this time around.

Repiggies are hateful people.

We can thank idiots like Limbaugh for that.

8. Intimidated no more

Don't let a few teenagers and bitter men stop you from supporting your candidate. Stand up for your candidate. They need to see that Obama supporters are everywhere, and that Obama supporters are mainstream types. The new bumper stickers are plastic and come off with no mess, so that excuse is no good. For many people that is the extent of their campaign activity, and we love to see them.
Hey you will surely get a few thumbs up for Obama, and pay back your neighbors who still have a frickin W sticker on their car.

11. oh, not intimidated, just giving a heads up to others

:)

[voteearlyvoteoften]

13. Did not mean to imply intimidation in your case

Letting air out of tires is serious business, far beyond stealing a campaign sign.
Lets intimidate them by voting and kicking the bums out. I hope the people responsible are caught and arrested.
Domestic terrorism could be the charge.

9. This is what they are reduced to...

Wild eyed republicans acting like 12 year olds

[paparush]

10. I've had 2 flat tires since adding my Obama stickers. Coincidence?

[TheCowsCameHome]

12. Maybe the air was taken for the flats on McCain's Straight Talk bus

Seriously, that's a shame - what petty thing to do.

15. Things like this are actually good

While it justifiably annoys you, at least more and more people get to see just what type of inbred wastes the right-wingers are.
