i live in AZ and we have (pretty much) NO gun laws, I tend not to flip off Ford F150's with rifle racks and Bush stickers. I'd like to be alive to vote for Kerry hehehhe

6. I'm a pretty courteous driver anyway, but
I did get more conscious of it when i started driving with bumper stickers with candidates on them... I figured in some small way, I was representing them.

So, I don't do anything evil when I see a Bush/Cheney sticker, but whether it is a Bush sticker OR a Kerry (or other Dem sticker), I try to pull ahead to show my colors as I pass by! if it's a fellow Dem, I often honk and wave as I go by too.

Interesting trend.. here in the Houston area, I have been seeing as many Kerry/Dem stickers as Bush/Pug stickers. It's a positive sign:-)

8. I'm too afraid to have anything other than a US flag sticker
Seriously. North Alabama has some bad-ass *-loving rednecks.

I've noticed that almost no one has any demo bumper stickers.

I notice the occasional darwin-fish in parking lots, and there's key-scratches all around them.

Freedom of speech; yeah right. Just be prepared to have your car vandalized. :-(

11. sad isn't it? I thought long and hard before I put the sticker on
i was concerned about vandals in Arizona. I think I went ahead and did it because I realized that if I was afraid to speak out, the repugs would have won. Free Speech is my RIGHT and I'll be damned if I'll let them scare me

hubby says if anyone vandalizes my car "That would be it! The gloves come off and I start hunting down Bush stickers with a can of Krylon"

16. I've seen left-leaning stickers disappearing
All I can hope for is that there going to get a beating in November.

Hope! :)

9. Mixed bag of bumper stickers here in NE Iowa...
Lots of UNITED WE STAND etc. 9/11 holdovers.

Used to see more Bush stickers, but they must've had to sell their cars in this boom economy.

13. Yes, dammit. Do us proud!
Only Bush-Cheney stickers are allowed to drive like dildos.
