it also has a Jesus Fish and a giant American flag on it. Out of about 100 cars in the lot, about 40% have Kerry stickers or other libby stickers. It is the only car with a Shrub sticker. I am not into vadalism, but I'm REALLY REALLY tempted to:

Put a sticker with a slash throught the W over the W '04 sticker

Leave a list of some of Bush's "accomplishments" under the windshield wiper.

Or can some of the more creative minds here think of something else?

3. Leave it alone.
You have the majority around you on your side. Let them feel like they're the only one who thinks that way.

4. Nah, don't vandalize
Edited on Thu Sep-23-04 04:17 PM by Borgnine
I was pissed off when some asshole ripped off my Kerry sticker a few months ago, and I think we're above that. I like the idea of putting some sort of anti-Bush flier under the windshield wiper though. That way, their precious * '04 sticker remains, while they get a healthy dose of "liberal propaganda."

8. Absolutely. I can't believe...
some of the pro-vandalization sentiment I've read in other threads.

Dirty tricks? Sure. Mucking around with private property? uh-uh.

Besides, from a purely practical view, you never know who might wind up having to clean up the mess... like, say, the guy's wife, or kid, who might have been thinking about voting for Kerry.

10. I would NEVER vandalize a car
that's disgusting. Leave a list of Bush's accomplishments-yes. We often get flyers for the pizza joint that delivers down the street.

5. Don't vandalize.
We're better than them. We shouldn't stoop to that kind of childish nonsense.

6. LOL...you are too used to living in the "People's Republic".
But I hear you. I let a person cut in front of me while driving near Mohegan Sun Casino yesterday and, after he gave me a big friendly wave and jumped in front of me, I saw he had a 'Dump Daschle"bumper sticker. But ya never know, he coulda STILL been a democrat . :P

15. Yes we are a unique community
I bet the person with the W sticker either feels like a lone voice in the wilderness or superior to all us libruls.

7. I've got the opposite problem:
I haven't seen 40 Kerry stickers TOTAL down here. And I'd be pissed if some oval-W geek stuck a swiftboat flyer on my windshield, let alone did anything to the car itself.

I say revel in your 40:1 majority and leave it alone.

And thank your lucky stars you're where you are!

9. I'm in Mississippi and there are equal Bush to Kerry Bumperstickers
Only difference is that "W" stickers are not on cars that cost less than $30,000. Kerry stickers are all over the place, on all different kinds of cars.

Honestly if lots people are sporting Kerry stickers in MS, Bush is going down.

11. If you see the owner, make sure he knows you're a Kerry supporter
smile politley, and wave.

That seems to piss the ones I know off the most. Many want a confrontation--don't bite.

12. Do nothing.
Imagine the opposite scenario... you are the only car sporting a Kerry/Edwards sticker in a sea of W'04 stickers. How would you feel to come back to your car to discover vandalism.

It will only confirm their belief that liberals are hatemongers.

Honestly, I've never understood the benefit of political bumperstickers... nobody will change their vote because of a bumpersticker they saw, and it might provoke vandalism or roadrage. So why bother?

13. Don't vandalize
I live in a state with lots of both types of stickers. I hiss and raise my hackles when I see a pro-chimp or anti-Kerry sticker. I would go totally ballistic if somebody vandalized my car or Kerry sticker. It would NOT help chimp-co's cause.

Also, drive nicely if you have Kerry stickers. Some a-hole cut me off the other day and I was fuming about him being a freeper and guess what he had a Kerry sticker on his fender.
