I have to stop getting so pissed
I still see those Bush and Cheney bumper sticks on cars and I just lose it. I have to get in front of them because I can't stand to look at those stickers. I just keep thinking of the shit they have done to our country and swear I just lose it. I know its stupid a 47 year old women getting pissed at a stupid bumper sticker but just kills me to see that they are stupid enough to still have one.

1. I heard it suggested that we get cards to leave on their windshields...
"so how's the bush thing working for ya?"

either that or pull in front of them and throw a handful of nails. I KID. I love when I see W stix on the vehicles of the poor who just dont get it. I want to pull up to them and throw a handful of condoms in their car in order to prevent the idiots from reproducing.

16. "I understand what can happen in the marketplace." - George W. Bush
"What I think the president ought to do is he ought to get on the phone with the OPEC cartel and say we expect you to open your spigots. One reason why the price is so high is because the price of crude oil has been driven up. OPEC has gotten its supply act together, and it's driving the price, like it did in the past. And the president of the United States must jawbone OPEC members to lower the price."

"[W]e've got good relations with a lot of members of OPEC. If the president does his job, the president will earn capital in the Middle East, and the president should have good standing with those nations. It's important for the president to explain, in clear terms, what high energy prices will not only do to our economy, but what high energy prices will do to the world economy.

It is in the Saudis' best interest for the price of oil to mellow out. It's not only in our country's best interests. It needs to be explained to them, it's in their best interests.... [a]nd I will do so.
" - George W. Bush, 1/26/2000

3. It's quite all right (Just watch that blood pressure).
I'm the same way. Those Bush stickers always catch my eye and I can get a little testy (Just ask the missus).

9. I can't let it go when I see a bush sticker
and the person is within earshot ..

I like using their own tactics against them ..

"shame on you having that bush sticker on your car
you need to support our troops and take that sticker
off your car . Bush caused our soldiers to die for the
profit of a few ."

I let 'em have it ..

10. Yeah, the W04 stickers are making a statement. What about Kerry stickers?
It's an "in your face, Rush tells me what to think" statement, but it's a statement, from the hard core, deadender 20 percent of the population who think he's just great.

Was on the road nearly all day. Saw a few SUVs with W04 stickers; lots of Obama stickers, and ZERO for McCain. Not a single one, and this is the DC area, where people are political animals.

We also noticed how many Kerry stickers are still out there, without an Obama sticker. What's up with that? Isn't it time to but on Obama '08 sticker on your car, if you still have a Kerry 04 sticker?

14. I used to leave military enlistment forms on the windshields of cars with * stickers
Edited on Sat Jul-19-08 04:18 PM by rox63
If they support * so much, they should be willing to enlist and fight in *'s war of choice. Or if they're too old to enlist, they should send one of their younger loved ones in their place.
