2. Saw a bumper sticker on a truck the other day that said
"Veterans Against Kerry." I had my "Kentuckians for Kerry" on my bumper. At the stoplight the dude rolled his car window down and motioned for me to roll my window down. He then yelled at me that I am "unpatriotic for voting for Kerry. Kerry was a traitor." I told him that if he even considered voting for Bush that HE (the truck driver)was an even bigger traitor to this country than Kerry, me or anyone else in this country could ever be. I then told him that Bush cut and ran, didn't show up for service and he is now putting our soldiers in danger for political and financial gain. Ended up saying, "Bush will be tried for war crimes and treason." The light changed and the traffic moved on. The guy was fuming (gave me the one-finger salute - I smiled and laughed at him - he got madder) but the cars behind the truck driver and me both honked and gave me the thumbs up. The truck driver laid rubber and sped off.

I don't think I dazzled him with my logic and facts. I don't think I won him over. Damn.

*Note - this was coming through the post town for Fort Knox, Radcliff. Lots and lots of soldiers, interesting, not many B/C 04 signs - plenty Kerry/Edwards.
