Why is every Bu$h Cheney 04 bumper sticker I see
on a foreign made vehicle? And, why is it that so many of the Repub sonsabitches own foreign made vehicles?

4. Same in Pittsburgh area - on big honking SUV's or Pickups
I see Kerry/Edwards stickers on mostly cars or small SUV's. And the Kerry/Edwards stickers are sprouting here. Outnumbering B04 by about 4 or 5 to 1.

7. Yup!
Texas (go figure!) Bigass pickups and Suburbans, generally.

I see nothing wrong with buying a Nissan that keeps workers at a plant in Tennesee employed; as opposed to an American car with parts made overseas. What exactly is the difference there?

These days, it's 6 of one; half dozen of another.

If the Japanese car is made better, it will last me longer, and I won't have to buy another a few years after I buy it. That's what I call smart shopping- being environmentally aware, and not being un-American.

2. BUZZFLASH constantly harps on them as the hypocrisy party
I've noticed that as well, after huge SUV's they seem to like Volvos even though they're made in quasi socialist Sweden.

3. Because the GOP and their ilk have no problem with hypocrisy
If your belief system is based on faith, and anything you do is god's will, every thing you is perfect and it doesn't matter.

5. The W stickers I see are on big gas hogs
like SUVs and giant pickupa,
I see Kerry stickers on all kinds of passenger cars, foreign, domestic, old, new.
My Kerry/Edwards sticker is planted firmly on the back bumper of my 3-year-old used Toyota.

9. I've seen a few - repeat - a FEW of those bush-cheney04's -
on big honkin SUVs, usually driven by a small, elegantly maintained woman who's alone in the car. I saw one as we pulled up to a stoplight abreast of her. I caught her eye. Tipped my hat to her, so she could see the Kerry pin on it. She smirked at me and shook her head condescendingly. I smirked back at her and shook my head at her, JUST as condescendingly.

6. Here in the Washington (DC) area....
...I'm seeing 20 Kerry bumper stickers to every Bush sticker. This is awesome. In 2000 I saw 2 Bush stickers to every Gore sticker. What a turnaround! It's fun living in a blue state (MD).

10. I've seen several */Cheney bumper stickers TAPED to the inside window
of cars....guess they don't wanna 'mess up the Benz' by actually applying the sticker to the bumper.

I also figure the reason for doing this is it's 'oh-so-easy to remove' and pretend like you never supported them in the first place if/when the tide finally turns against the cabal (loyalty runs very shallow with a lot of the nuevo-repubs).

12. Bumper Stickers
I made a copy of my just received DU-T shirt with the 8 inch W with slash through the middle. Awesome. I am putting this on my back window and in the front on the sun shield. (passenger side) Very visible. I am sick of seeing the W for 4 stickers here in Bush country (Central Florida) This way the person in front can see it from his rear view mirror and the one in back of me can have a great view too. Now I like to stop at red lights and watch the reaction.B-)

11. Hey!!...I have a KE sticker on my '71 Triumph, Hahaha
Edited on Fri Sep-03-04 12:17 PM by JohnnyRingo
Not to generalize, but around here (Ohio), most of the Buxh stickers are on cars that belong to people who would gain the most under a Dem presidency.

And usually next to a sticker of Calvin peeing on something.





BTW...I really wasn't offended by your post, I just wanted another excuse to stick my car in here.

13. California central valley....
Bush* Cheney 04 bumper stickers appear mostly on american made minivans that, interestingly enough, also have that fish thingy glued to the back. What's up with this fish thingy?

19. "fishy thing" ancient Christian iconography
I think it's a Greek acronym for Jesus....I believe it was used as a secret signal between Christians during outlaw days.
