Poll question: Did you get "Bush-Tagged?"
Lookee, lookee! I got Bush-Tagged!

Our car has the following bumper stickers on the back: Kerry/Edwards, Texans For Kerry, David Van Os, Martin Frost, Gary Page, and MoveOn.org. After a quick stop at Blockbuster to pick up Kill Bill: Vol. 2 for last night's viewing, look what showed up on my front bumper!



Ho ho! Hee hee! I got Bush-Tagged! Now, the question is - did you get Bush-Tagged yet?

1. So has that convinced you now
to vote for Bush/Cheney? Is that the purpose of these things? What a stupid waste of time.

7. Peeled off quite easily
One good yank and it was gone. I considered putting it in our 2004 election scrapbook, but if I really want one, they'll be easy enough to find.

3. No, I haven't, and if somebody tries to do such
Well they better not hope I catch them, for even though I'm pretty non-violent, I would call the cops on them for vandalism, and sue them for the price of removing said bumper sticker.

36. I'm with you MADHOUND. Your name reminds me of when
I was a teenager and we use to sneak and drink MAD DOG 20/20. Now that stuff got us a buzz but eventually sick to.

Thanks for the memories. I miss the 70s. My teen years and early 20s. Where has the time gone?????

5. No, but it would give me a good opportunity
to finally go out and buy one of those 'kid who looks like Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes pissing on something' stickers and put it right next to the Bush sticker. What I'd like to figure out is how to make one that looks like the pissing kid, but with a donkey's head, and start tagging Republicans' cars like they're apparently tagging others. Just put the pissin' donkey right next to the W sticker. I could do it, but as HST used to say, 'it would be wrong.'

14. Now THAT's a good idea!
I haven't touched anyone else's car with a marker or a sticker yet, but the minute my car is tagged or keyed, all bets are off. It's karma.

remove.

8. If I caught some
asshole putting one of those on my car, I hate to say it, but I'd likely knock the shit out of him and probably mash that sticker on his forehead. I'm not very fond of those who mess with a person's car. It's just one of the very few things that will flat set me off.

22. LOL - Me too
There's a commercial for some car that shows a jogger leaning his hand on it to stretch and he gets these visions of speed and power emanating off the car...

and all I can think of is, "if that was my car, I'd kill that guy."

38. Yeah, it's a weird feeling you get for your car
or truck. As if to have your car defaced is to be defaced yourself. I get it from my dad. NOBODY has ever had a worse temper for that sort of shit. Thank God he never caught anyone keying, egging, papering, or otherwise vandalizing one of his cars. He'd have gone to jail for murder, I'm sure.

Now I wouldn't kill anyone, but I would give them a sound beating about the head, shoulders, ribs, and legs. You know I would have to kick them in the shins a couple times, just on General Principle.

11. Havn't been Bush-Tagged, but
I had some small sticker put on my car for some local Repuke candidate that I've never even heard of. It was one of those sticky ones that's really hard to get all the scraps off.

If I get Bush-Tagged, I think I will just Kerry-Tag the next car that I see that has a Bush bumper sticker on it. Not that there's that many of those around here, and the ones that I see are kind of scary looking.

12. Tempting...
...but remember what some folks on here think about Bush-Tagging. Some Repugs might consider it outright vandalism, even though their own ranks engage in it.

to make sure I don't get caught.:evilgrin:

Better than trying to beat the shit out of the perp like many here are suggesting, especially since that would only be likely to land me in the hospital.

I'm going to artistically place a sticker in stop-sign red color in the shape of a circle with a slanted line going through the center. Handmade if necessary.

18. How Terrible!
Wouldn't this be considered against the law? If a tagger put graffiti on your car, it would be a crime. So why isn't this?

This is a very emotional election. The strong feelings people have shown on both sides is comparable to the election of 1968. It doesn't help when people do this kind of thoughtless crap.

Those of you going to protest in NYC, please take video cameras and other cameras. Also take care of yourselves. I'd hate to hear about the protesters being treated as badly as they were in 1968. Unfortunately for the bias of the media today, the whole world will not be watching. :hippie:

19. If ANYONE Bush-Tags ME...
Thry better HOPE I don't catch 'em because I WILL KICK THEIR FUCKING ASS UP ONTO THEIR SHOULDERS FOR THEM!!

And then, i will insert on of my high-heeld shoes so far up their newly-relocated ass, thet they will need a shoe-ectomy!!


and then, for good measure, I will kerry-Tag their forehead, and then I'll call the cops and the press, and admit to what I did.

furthermore, while I'm waiting the cops, I'll quick grab his wallet and look at his driver's license, find out where he lives...and THEN, after throwing my bail from jail, I'll go and Kerry-Tag HIS fuckin' car!!

NOBODY BETTER EVEN THINK of putting a repulsive Bush tag anywhere NEAR my fuckin' car...it'll be the LAST THING THEY EVER DO if I catch 'em!!

I'm not usually violent by nature, but this action will send me right over the edge! I so viscerally hate Bush that I will not be held responsible for my actions. In court, at my trial for beating the fuck outta the Bush-Tagger, I will plead innocent by reason of temporary insanity!!

31. use Goo Gone if it happens
It will take it off and not damage your paint job.

I got something WORSE once! Someone didn't like my Bad Religion logo (cross with a red slash) so they stuck one of those stupid 700 club "Under God" stickers. moron.

40. Did they put it on top of the Bad Religion sticker?
That would've been quite rude. I probably should have included another option in that poll: "My vehicle got de-Kerryed." Maybe I thought the vandalism option would cover that nicely, but I'm not so sure now.

33. No, but I got an 8 x 10 glossy of Pickles and the Chimp
...plus a plea for funds. FAT CHANCE, bub.

My area is decidedly blue state/blue district, so I see more Kerry stickers and buttons and the like. I can count on the fingers of one hand the Bush-Cheney things I've seen.

42. If you kept the sticker on, and
put a big red line through it, it'd resemble the "No W" stickers I love. And I bet it might make the bushtaggers think before being rude again.
