Poll question: Which bumper sticker should I put on my car?
Here are the choices, let me know what you think. I am torn, so the winner goes on the ol' Minivan of Radicalism tomorrow. My neighbors always look to see what new "statement" I have, so it does definitely get noticed!

(I'm leaving the Kerry-Edwards sticker on.)

3. Tee hee.
I already am.

What happened was, first I put on the TEXAS DEMOCRAT sticker. Proudly. It is still on, but it's kinda small and down on the bumper so it's not too bad.

Then I put some Dean stickers on, way back when. Those came off.

Eventually I had "Show Bush the Door in 2004!" which was replaced by the beautiful Kerry-Edwards sticker. I am defiantly leaving that one on, I want people to know I voted for the SMART one. Plus I'm proud of my vote.

I had a sticker for a state candidate on there, but I took that one off.

So now I have room for others. And I found that bumper stickers are like tattoos--you get one and you think "Eh, what's one more?" and before you know it you are driving the Ghettomobile, better known in this house as the Minivan of Radicalism.

A LOT of people know my car, I found out. It's a very distinctive color and I've had people say "Oh I KNOW that van!" then they describe it. Quite freaky.

So it gets seen. A lot. All three, you crack me up. I wouldn't be able to see out the back window. I see it as providing a service. If you are behind me, I give you some reading to do at stop lights.

13. Good for you
All 3 are good. I applaud you for being so "public" in your activism. I know that sounds conflicted, but that is my life. In rural Arkansas and owning a small business, it is scary to openly declare oneself as an activist, especially for the left. In dealing with my customers, if they asked I would tell.
A big majority in my area "think" they are Bush supporters. I say "think" because they are generally nice people who know very little beyond the headlines of the nightly news, and "think" that Bush is a symbol of morality and Christian values. Very frustrating!

5. Ok um,
did you miss the fact that I live in Texas? Yeah, like I want my windows busted out.

LOL! (But serious about the windows part. Unfortunately. They can be THAT rabid.)

7. My "Show Bush the Door in 2004" sticker
had to be replaced FOUR times and I got a nice lovely scratch down the side of the van one of the times (jokes on them, it's old, it's a light color and I really don't care about the paint job that much).

I have a friend who had a big ol' "FUCK BUSH" sticker (not just the Buck Fush one) and she got her windows smashed in with bricks or a baseball bat or something. All four of them. And the sticker was gone.

Rock! If I had the balls, and physically I don't, and didn't need my car, I'd do that!

8. I would recommend the (Bush Again?) sticker!
It features the face from "the scream", and to celebrate your getting into graduate school, I'd be happy to send you one. I just ordered 20! Oops, I'm doing that exclamation point thing. You can PM with your address, if you'd like.
