Political Bumper stickers and slogans

JudyT929

I have never put a bumber sticker on my car and probably never would (I love my 10 year old shiny red acura and wouldn't want to deface her...) however, this week I have seen 2 bumper stickers that I love:

I LOVE MY COUNTRY
IT'S THE GOVERNMENT I'M AFRAID OF

I SUPPORT OUR TROOPS
BUT I FEAR OUR PRESIDENT

and the following is available on a t-shirt for your favorite canine or for yourself

DOGS FOR KERRY
BUSHES ARE ONLY GOOD FOR ONE THING

Despite your political preference the last one is just too cute with it's picture of a dog raising his leg over a shrub.

Got any favorites?

Whirlwind

Seen recently:

SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT
PLANT A BUSH BACK IN TEXAS

Spotted on the back of an old Ford pickup:
On the left side of the bumper: VOTE the son-of-a BUSH OUT

And on the right side: SHOW ME YOUR HOOTERS.

Anne in Ohio

Ann, I should warn you; when you mention Bush and Hooters in the same post, it gets Ray's blood pressure waaaay up. We don't want him excited.

Yahoo

If the Democrats spent as much time working on policy as they apparently do on "cutesy" bumper sticker slogans, they might have a chance in November.

Whoopi Goldberg would love it! Some really intelligent work there. What scares me is that the level of intelligence that would have those on their personal property actually might find their way into a voting booth. And by some miracle of fate, it might even be on election day. God should simply make the gene pool and voting booths off limits to some folks.

Whirlwind

Don, God probably didn't get the memo that you're the national arbiter of intelligence, political opinion, and humor. You might want to re-send it lest She overlook your request to cull the gene pool. x:-)

Oh come on...did republicans lose their sense of humor along with the WMD????

There are just as many "cutesy" pro republican/anti Kerry slogans out there I just happen to choose ones that reflect how I feel. It's all in fun and if people make a buck off of making this chit up well good for them!

FLUSH THE JOHNS

Need I say more?

Edit: I also agree with your opinion on placing bumper stickers on my car. I even tell new car dealers that they can put their dealership sticker on MY car if they pay me $200. Haven't had one take me up on it yet.

I like the one that says

HATE IS NOT A FAMILY VALUE

But I agree with the other posters...I've never put a sticker on my car...and I doubt I ever will!!!!

LarryC

Judy, I gotta tell ya'. I'm neither a republican nor a democrat. If Nader wasn't available, I'd probably vote for Bush. Kerry? Never. Al Gore? Oh my God, no. But I DID see a bumper sticker referring to Al Gore that made me laugh. It said, "Re-elect Al Gore".

rad

Thats beautiful.

Yahoo

Not lost my sense of humor, but generally feel that these things are more heavily weighted toward the left side than the right. I also feel as though the right are often labeled as "haters" or "dividers" when we show our sense of humor in this way. Just my two cents...

However, that being said, I do remember one that was right-oriented that I found humorous.

SORE-LOSERMAN 2000

Can I once again say that I have a sense of humor??? x:D

Reminds me of the ones that were out a year or two back that said "Run - Hillary - Run" apparently Democrats put this on the back bumpers of their autos and Republicans put them on the front bumpers of theirs.

I would feel the same about "I love my country it's the government I'm afraid of" whether Bush or Kerry were pres. I personally think they (and most politicians)are just spoiled wealthy people who have essentially purchased their leadership role and really don't give a sh*t about the "average man" like me (only I guess that would be "average woman")

I'm currently reading a biography about the Kennedy men (1900 - 1963) and within the first 125 pages I realized the man I grew up idolizing (JFK, also being Irish Catholic) was really a spoiled rich kid a**hole with elitist, anti-semitic, isolationist ideals. I always heard he was a womanizer but I really need to find a new icon.

Don D

There are still several Kennedy icons available for you to choose from. That's where the juicy novel will be found. Happy hunting and let us know your choice.

"I also feel as though the right are often labeled as "haters" or "dividers" when we show our sense of humor in this way. Just my two cents..."

That was Yahoo. I hadn't thought about the truth of that until I read it. It's exactly true. Had a person tilting more rightward posted several of those, he/she would have been stoned for being uncaring, cruel, hateful and devisive, when the only objective was humor.

One thing's for sure. God did not invent bumper stickers. She left all the lightweight inventions to Al Gore.

JudyT929

I apologize if I offended anyone. I felt that 2 of the 3 slogans were bi-partisan, as I said I'd feel that way regardless of whom our president was. The 3rd one I liked simply cause I saw the picture on this cute little dog and I'm a dog lover and is simply a play on a name.

On that note I'll take my leave for the weekend, I love working 4 day weeks!! yipppeee

Yahoo

No need to apologize - you certainly have not offended me. Just a bunch of us sharing our own personal takes on politics these days.

Have a great four-day weekend!

Back to bumper stickers...

I bought this one for my dad:
"Wear your seatbelt - It makes it harder for the aliens to pull you out of your car!"

SMace

I saw one this morning, "Been nowhere, Done nothing."

Yahoo

I love it! That's similar to my favorite quote from Office Space...

"I did nothing all day...and it was everything I thought it could be."

slogan

2 related bumper stickers I saw and liked:

"Save the beef, eat an environmentalist"
and
"Environmentalist taste like chicken"

SMace

Oooh, I've got another one. Not political, yet funny. "Where are we going and why are we in this handbasket!"
