> [@Draelin](#): > > Precisely why I put mine on the pleather spare-tire cover for easy removal. Come December, who the hell will want to read it? šŸ™‚ My Bush sticker doesnā€™t seem very sticky, so Iā€™d be surprised if it hasnā€™t fallen off before the election. FTR, Iā€™m female and I drive a little, fairly fuel efficient, coupe. Iā€™ve seen a lot of those yellow ribbon/support the truth stickers, but donā€™t have any. My other stickers are " My day isnā€™t complete until Iā€™ve terrified a complete stranger", " One by one the penguins steal my sanity" and " Nija monkeys are meeting as we speak, plotting my demise." The message they give probably tell people more about my sense of humor (or need for medication) than my politics, right? ---

Iā€™m a white male retired factory worker. I just got back from a hunting trip, and my half-ton GMC pickup has a Kerry sticker on it. The plate on the front says, ā€œUnion Made.ā€ I love my country, and I support the troops (I pay taxes.) I am pretty sure the troops canā€™t see my truck from Iraq, so thereā€™s no reason to wear a sticker saying I support them. ---

I live almost on the line between Pinellas and Hillsborough counties in Florida. Iā€™ve seen a lot of anti Bush stickers, some pro Bush stickers and a similar numberl of Kerry stickers. It may just be that I recall the anti Bush ones since theyā€™re the most memorable: [ul] [li]Save the Trees, Remove the Bushes (back of a medium sized pickup or SUV)[/li][li]Somewhere a village in Texas is missing itā€™s idiot (on the back of a fairly new Cadillac)[/li][li]No more BUSH-IT![/li][li]When Clinton Lied, Nobody Died[/li][li]Impeach President Cheney, And his little dummy, too[/li][/ul] Iā€™ve not yet noticed any anti-Kerry stickers. Maybe Republicans are more civilised in their discourse, at least in regards to bumper stickers. ---

I donā€™t have a car, but my fridge is covered with Kerry stickers! In fact, our condo association sent out a reminder of rules regarding placing political signs. Along my jogging route, I see all Kerry stickers and yard signs. ---

Hmmm. Not that many of my friends here in the city own cars, but frankly I havenā€™t noticed that many bumper stickers of either persuasion around these parts. Usually youā€™re looking at the front bumper of the car and gauging if you can dart past the front of it in time. šŸ˜ƒ Going downtown for a 9/11 Mass and rally tomorrow, will report back. ---

Have been seeing many, many Kerry bumperstickers and/or anti-Bush stickers, on all makes of cars. But now the Bush stickers are catching on. Two of the Bush stickers were on SUVs which also had ACK (Nantucket airport code) stickers.
