Saw a Cadillac Escalade painted today with an anti-shrub statement

[liberal N proud]

On the back of a fairly new Cadillac Escalade was painted with
"Hiding out in Alabama by W"

The SUV was parked on a very busy street in Suburban Cleveland.
I laughed for about a mile after seeing it.

1. Hid out from the war in the National Guard and then hid out from

the Guard itself in Alabama. Let's smoke 'im out of his hideout.

2. K/E sign out front right now

We moved out into this wooded subdivision 12 years ago - before everyone else bought and built and moved it. Since then it has turned into a pretty expensive neighborhood. Houses are $200-450,000. Ours in on the low end, thankfully. Lots of nice folks, but it's pretty conservative. I guess 'they have theirs' so they don't care about anyone else.

So we are like the lone Christian in the pit with hungry lions all around, on a number of different levels.

I made a double-decker sandwich board and stapled up my Kerry/Edwards campaign signs two days ago. I have room below on each side for posters culled from DU treasure trove which I will switch around regularly.

I can tell we're already getting necks to turn with passersby, local and driving through. We DO want folks to know that just because we happen to live where we do (most folks have no idea that we were here before the noses started pointing in the air) that we are NOT Republican. It seems to be disturbing some folks. Maybe some will start thinking.

I cannot wait to see what responses we may hear about. I'm figuring on some vandalism and have used rebar stakes pounded into the ground to hold it in place.

So I sort of feel like the above Cadillac owner. I know more folks drive by my house in one day than see my bumperstickers on my car because it sits in a parking lot for 12 hours a day after a 10 minute commute.

I hope we have more Cadillacs like the above. Maybe some folks will smile when they see my signs, too. (I haven't seen a single B/C sign out to date and this is an R dominated city.

3. And don't forget to put a little sign on your big sign

that only someone up close can read that says "So, you're trying to vandalize my right to free speech? You must be a Republican. I thought you were the party that believed in American freedoms and the Constituion and obeying the law."

4. Your story sounds much like my own.

Moved to a quite small suburb, no neighbors until 3 years agor $500K houses next door.
Church people were shocked when they say my Kerry bumper sticker, tried to tell me I was going to hell and all.
I can related.

5. Was this vandalism?

Or some sort of silk screening, or what? I'm just trying to picture it.

6. This was did not look like vandals, It was on the glass and not sloppy

Looked like the paint you see at Auto Dealers The white and orange paints for glass.
Just the place it was parked made you believe it was parked for everyone to see. If you owned a car and someone put a statement you did not agree with on your car you would not park so everyone could see.
I think there are rich democrats also!
I hope to be one of them someday.

7. I live in South Carolina

in a conservative, affluent, suburb. I got to a Southern Baptist church. I've got Kerry/Edwards stickers (2 of them) on my bumper, and my parents both have them on their cars too. And I plan on getting a K/E yard sign and planting it prominently in the yard (it's a corner lot). And I really could absolutely care less what the neighbors think, but if they do think, I want to them to think about Kerry/Edwards in November!

8. Went to the Jets game today

When I was just leaving saw a car with a bumper sticker saying "Stop Mad Cowboy Disease." I saw one other Kerry sticker leaving and a B/C one on the way down with some other obnoxious sticker that I can't remember what it said. There was a bunch of the yellow ribbons with Support Our Troops on them that I saw.
