Saw A Ben Carson Bumper Sticker In Arvada, Colo. (N.Denver) This Evening.

Wonders never cease to be. There was a jeep with a Ben Carson Bumper sticker right in front of us this evening. Is there any hope?

Meanwhile there were hundreds of people up and down Wadsworth Boulevard from north to south about 10+ miles supporting a recall of our local nut case school board. We are in a very nasty recall fight with an ultraconservative school board that is wrecking one of the best and largest school systems in state. Teachers are leaving the district in record numbers these religion nuts are so bad.

We have a lot of GOP nut cases here. And we have some extremely reactionary fundy churches in the county that essentially wants religious government.

Man, we think we're circling the drain now; elect this guy and we'll be well down the drainpipe, heading for that big lake of sludge.

One of the few bumper stickers I've noticed this year, actually. A few Bernie and Hillary stickers, but that's about it.

I think they are tacky and ruin the paint. The window ones are ok I guess. I still see bush/Cheney bumper stickers and Obama 2008 stickers because they can't get them off their car bumpers.

So far, so good here in north central NM, the only yard signs have been for local office and there are only tattered 2012 bumper stickers here and there.

in Weld County I spotted a sticker touting "Palin 2016". And I've seen a couple of Carson stickers. Not surprising, given that our bagger county commishes were humping for secession not that long ago.

Been watching your school board mess; sibs and I grew up in JeffCo schools, back in the '50s and '60s. Hard to imagine that extreme shift, hate seeing it happen. Really hoping it ends well -- for the kids.

south of KC, MO a little ways. I have not seen any bumper stickers (other than my Bernie one) in this town of about 10,000...........until a couple days ago. Beautiful King Ranch pu parked next to me and as I pulled out there was a Carson sticker on the back. It just did something to my well being seeing it. I just cannot imagine anyone who could afford a truck like that could be that Stupid! Of course look at Carson himself, but I don't get him either.

The only one I have seen so far here in neon red Idaho. I have seen just one Trump sticker, last week.
