I have taken heat for anti-Bush stickers on my truck at work
for almost 8 months.

I just realized the other day that the 3 die-hard republican co-workers who kept harassing me, trying to force me to remove my Anti-Bush stickers and be more like them, have stopped pressing me into taking the stickers off my truck.

They bitch about their lousy vet benefits, their lousy soco/economic situation, the cost of food, rent and gas!

They still kid me about being a librul, but they are silent about my stickers...Hummm, am I slowly converting them, or is Bush?

3. uniter
He's uniting the whole world against him. More importantly, he's uniting recovering republicans against him. Is it November yet?

2. heat
Several of my very cancervative shooting buddies no longer rag me for being a librul. In fact, at least two or three are beginning to say things about Chimpy--and republicans in general--that are at least as harsh as what I've always said. It's good when the enemy helps us do our work against him, isn't it?

ChristianLibrul, have you found that some of your shooting buddies began to have doubts after the way Cheney handled the hunting accident?

4. You should put a "Support our veterans--give them the health care
they deserve" type sticker on your truck. If their heads don't explode, you'll know they are converted....

8. you're a patient guy
but don't ever think you're really converting those types.
they don't really have the brains to be ''liberals'' if they've hung in there with bush this long.

just take care of your self.

10. I told folks to lay back and take it easy when he stole the 2000
election. Nature always sides with the flaws, hidden or overt, and I knew he had no choice but to be what he is and to destroy the coalition of the rich and the stupid that Reagan had so carefully built up.

The stupid weren't quite as stupid as either he thought they were or we feared they were.

Every time we say something light and joking about him in public now, we validate misgivings someone within earshot has about him and his party.

It's working, but our greatest ally in the destruction of that cabal has always been their cowboy leader, himself.

14. Pakistani woman I work with
You cannot even say BUSH without her going on a tirade. I keep telling her to be careful out in public when you say these things. Homeland Security will come after you. Sad that I have to caution her on that.

By the way, she is a Christian. Apparently, religion has no bearing on this to her. To use one of her "kinder" quotes, "Bush, himself, is the Ass..e of Evil."

15. You might want to ask them why they've changed their tunes.
Nothing like exploring what you don't know to connect with people.
