Anyone notice the change in bumperstickers?
Just drove from Orlando to Ft. Myers and back again. I didn't see one Bush sticker, but I saw in their place, lots of Jesus stickers.

"Yes, I pray, get over it."

Painted on the side of a car: "Read the bible, it's all true."

Anyone else notice it?

1. I live near an air base
so the code is "support the troops" or "God bless America."

The Stupid/Corrupt 04 stickers are LONG gone.

7. I did see a support the troops yellow ribbon.
And a very old and faded "United we Stand."

3. Bush is Poopy
That's one I've seen recently.

As juvenile and scatalogical as it is, I laughed out loud.

4. Must be a regional thing.
I've never seen anything like that in MN. What I have seen lately is almost no Bush stickers at all -- but I don't think anybody removed their Kerry stickers because they are still all over the place. No Jesus stickers at all. The only religious sticker I've seen around here is one that says "God Bless the Whole World -- No Exceptions."

6. There was a week not too long ago where I saw more
Kerry stickers than Bush stickers. Now I only see an incidental "W" where I live. But I didn't see even that on my drive down to Ft. Meyers this weekend.

18. We need to start distributing anti-Bush sickers for under a dollar
If they were as cheap as the yellow ribbobs, I bet we'd see more of them.

We need a $0.99 "Impeach" ribbon.

5. I've noticed the Bush/Cheney '04 stickers are quite rare these days!
Thank you, God! I was so sick of seeing them.

I kept hoping they would fade, start to shred, or something, but they must have been made from the very best decal stock there is. Those things were made to last until 3004, I swear.

I'm glad others are noticing this. I thought the same thing a few weeks ago. Lots of people removing them. That should be a bad sign for Republicans in November.

9. I saw an angry woman scraping one off her Cadillac with an ice scraper
a month or so ago. Passersby applauded her. She said she was so mad at Bush that she was NOT DRIVING her car again until that sticker was off.

She parks in the same spot in a parking garage every day. I later noticed an IMPEACH BUSH sticker where the old "W" sticker was! :rofl:

Ya gotta love it...

12. Well, it's good to know that when they believe in something they
believe passionately in it.

I'm pretty sick and tired of the New York Republicans. They sit back and vote for Democrats when the local Republicans get too greedy and start selling old landmarks, but then turn around and vote Republican in national elections so they can keep more of their money due to tax cuts. They don't personally have any great love for private parochial schools, having been raised on the public school system. Just opportunists, really. Not passionate about anything.

11. Of course they're made of high quality materials
The best that Myanamar can provide -- like their t-shirts were made in Myanamar too.

13. I just saw a "Not Fonda Kerry" sticker parked next to my car today
And on Friday I saw a car with "Bush/Cheney" and "Boycott France" stickers on it.

I wrote the words "Idiot" and "Nazi" in the dust on the back of that car.

16. Maybe needed
A few new ones, like: "Love America? Take it back!"
I'm just waiting to see how many Repubs put up any signs for their candidates before Nov. The churches should fear using their marquees and pulpits too, for political bigotry.

20. I'm seeing much less of those stupid "support the troops" magnets
Maybe they just faded away to nothing, and got removed.

Edited on Sun Apr-02-06 09:39 PM by Richard D
I have it both on a bumper sticker and on convenient shipping lables that will stick anywhere.
It's amazing how many people give me thumbs up or run up to me in parking lots voicing their approval.

Edited on Mon Apr-03-06 03:24 AM by Seabiscuit
removed, although there are still "Support Our Troops" stickers. OTOH, there are a whole lot more "Impeach" stickers all over the highways, roads, and parking lots. Some cars are just plain covered with anti-Bush stickers.
