I can't believe by now I'd still get shit for an "Impeach Bush"
bumper sticker. Today an average looking young couple in an average car pulled up next to me on the freeway and held up a piece of paper with "If you hate Bush then leave the country!" scrawled on it. I was so dumbfounded, all I could do was drop my jaw. Who the fuck are these people?

1. I have one of those on my rear window
exactly centered and at eye level.

I've gotten exactly one bad comment on it, and many compliments.

I'm in Dallas Texas, so take that for what it's worth!

4. Don't worry, pretty soon hubby will be searching for another job
and their funds will run out,they'll lose their home and then have to face the harsh reality that they are entitled to nothing. When that happens they too will jump the shrub band wagon, seen it happen already.

3. I had to check your profile before replying.
My initial answer to your question "Who the fuck are these people?" would have been "Houstonians." Yeehaw!!!

5. I live for those moments...
Whenever someone leaves a note on my windshield I frame it and hang it up. They are badges of honor!

But truth be told, even here in Northern Virginia, and even considering I have a bumper sticker that has a COnfederate Flag X'd out with the slogan "You Lost, Get oVer It" I still get mostly positive responses!

6. Those people you ran into there may have been those dangerous
animal hybrids Bush referenced in his State of the Union address.

They certainly don't sound like sentient beings, so we have to rule that out right away.

____

A lot of bush voters feel that his failings have to be suppressed and denied because to admit to them would be to admit to their own incredibly poor judgment.

So you get victimized by their ignorance, fear, and stupidity instead of thumbs-upped for your clarity and citizenship.

7. Why are you practicing free speech?
You must think we have a Constitution or something...

10. There are still people around that think Nixon was right, I worked w/ one.
If they were logical, intelligent people they wouldn't have supported him in the first place except the rich and we know why they love him.

12. Forgot to mention...
When something like this happens, it might be worth while to look at them and mouth the following: "Read my lips - First Amendment." Of course this assumes, probably erroneously, that Repugs know the First Amendment contains a free speech clause, but what the hell? It'll give them something to think about. And again I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt by assuming they're capable of thought, but you have to start somewhere!

15. I wear my "impeach Bush" t-shirt at the gym
all the time, have since before the election. I have never had a negative comment, only positive ones. A few months ago, I put my shirt on in the locker room. That started a conversation with the guys getting dressed. These were your typical testosterone dripping gym yahoos (I guess like me). The general consensus was the Bush is a douche-bag and a loser. Not a disssenting voice in the house. I didn't have to say a word.

16. Maybe they "think"
(yes I know, an oxymoron) that you're "helping the terrorists." :sarcasm:
