Why are the Bush bumper stickers so tiny?
They have "W '04" and Bush/Cheney (emphasis on the tiny Cheney).

2. They also have little black "W" stickers that look like parking
stickers. I guess they aren't that proud of Bush and are trying to pretend Cheney doesn't exist.

3. Because they don't want to see me shake my head when I pass by them
as I always do when I see a Monkey 04 stinky sticker

5. It must be the presumed subconscious embarrasment...
...of the target audience. Republican pride, writ small.

6. Ironically, they look like European country stickers
Strange, since they hate all things European.

I almost got to do the "Hey, I thought you should know, some asshole but a Bush sticker on your car" to some moran in a BMW with his window rolled down.

7. I have a "J-squared '04" sticker the same size as their W sticker
Got it here:

Looks like this:



I have the standrad John Kerry bumper sticker and the Kerry/Edwards bumper sticker, I just liked putting this one on to get the goat of the Freepers.

11. They're 2 bucks a pop and that's the one and only place you can get
them. They also run them on a "buy it now" option on eBay, but it's still these folks.

They have a Black "W" sticker coming out too that says "Worthless" underneath it.

8. They're Ashamed...Conservatives..
When I see one of those tiny W's on cars mostly SUV actually, I try to get in front so they can see my huge Kerry/Edwards sign and my home-made sign "Home of the Brave Vs Fear War Mongers." I drive away happy.

10. I always go out of my way
to drive in front of/park next to any vehicle (you're right, usually an SUV) with one of those annoying stickers. Lots of interesting reading for them on my 1994 Ranger. Bumper sticker tally to date:

2 - Kerry/Edwards campaign stickers
"Defend America/Defeat Bush"
"Mission (crossed out/replaced with NOTHING) Accomplished"
"Bush/Cheney ***k Yourself '04" (Looks like a B/C sticker)
"FUGW"
"If you can read this, you're not the President"

27. My favorite parking achievement was when I parked
my car with my "Who Would Jesus Bomb?" sticker next to a car with a "What would Jesus Do?" sticker.

14. from my neck of the woods
I live in a heavily republican "hell" and I have not seen
1 bush/cheney sticker
Granted I do live in Southern California but I haven't seen many Kerry bumper stickers either (except my car)

My take?
1.I think that we Californians are liberal when it comes to "our rights" and conservative when it comes to the "money"

2.I think republicans out here might be embarrassed to vote for bush but are not willing to publicly endorse John Kerry

My reason for this view is my whole family are all republicans
I am the only Dem.
They are NOT supporting the idiot loser bush.
I am working on them to get on board with Kerry.
Why is that so hard? Bush is a liar and a cheat.

My mother is a closet democrat though she will vehemently deny it.
btw she grew up in the 60's and supports NOW????????

I don't know why anyone would be embarrassed to vote for the better man (Kerry)-I scratch my head

My point to this rant is that we may have more people on Kerry's side then we even know. I will continue to support John Kerry and recite his message for anyone that is willing to listen.

26. I live in a Repuke neighborhood in a Repuke state.
My particular town is liberal, but there are still a lot of wingnuts here. Our neighborhood is built around a golf course, and luxury cars (not mine, I have a new but practical Subaru) are the rule. However, and I kid you not, the only signs my husband and I have seen are Kerry/Edwards. Granted, these are on the outskirts of the really ritzy houses, but I'm very surprised nonetheless. I also have not seen one car in my neighborhood sporting a * bumpersticker. I did see one of those W'04 ones at Target today.

15. Yeah...
I've noticed that too...In my area, most Kerry supporters double up on the bumperstickers. I rarely ever see a lonesome Kerry bumpersticker...always a buddy alongside it for company. I have two myself!

19. They send them out for free
to registered Repubs, and encourage people to put them on. I guess the Bushies are too cheap to buy them.
I have the "W" with a slash through it (along with JohnKerry, and ReDefeat Bush).

18. Because they are the PERFECT size...
to just use a nice black marker and draw a NOT circle / slash around them.

Ok, no, I haven't actually done this but damn I have been tempted.

21. It's weird howo some are hiding it....for example...
another contractor I work with alot, who's a big Dubya supporter only has the small W 04 on his own truck. He does have a large yellow ribbon with support our troops on the company pick-ups. According to him the yellow ribbon is the "secret" Dubya support sign....okay we work in a state that is predominantly democrat...maybe that's why he's ashamed.
