Today I was heckled by bush supporters
I was walking home from volunteering for the Kerry/Edwards campaign, and I happened to be holding a bumpersticker that I did not have any room for in my handbag. Within 10 mins of each other, I was heckled by bushites. Is it just me or are the majority of them just assholes? I live in a very liberal city and I am quite annoyed at this.

2. I always ask them why they aren't in Iraq.
If they vote for Bush but do not go to Iraq to fight for their leader, then they are cowards.

3. They are rude.
They are very afraid. I hate this tribal warfare. It really pitches neighbor against neighbor.

6. You should be proud of yourself. Proves that you're a person of
character if ditto heads heckle you. It's sort of like the medal of honor like bush* wears in his military picture, only you deserve it.

7. I've decided that the best way to handle * supporters is to laugh ...
at them - if you get into dialogue with them, just express how pathetic they are and how sad it is to see people so ignorant or stupid as to believe the utter shit that * and his cronies spew all of the time.

8. When you're heckled by Bushites, you know you're doing something
right.

Congratulations.

Remember, they can't take humor. It confuses and momentarily stuns them.

Them--4 more years
Us--4 more weeks

Them--Kerry flip flops
Us--Bush has no mind to change

Them--Kerry lied about Vietnam
Us--Bush lied about everything, "an hourly promise-breaker, an infinite and endless liar."

Them--Bush keeps us safe
Us--so does prison

etc.

9. I got to call some "losers" tonight!
Played poker in a tournament (came in 2nd place -- woo hoo -- funds going for the bumper sticker campaign for Kerry!) and was wearing my Kerry button. Idiots kept saying "Bush" at me and I very politely pointed out that all the "Bush" supporters were losers seeing as how they ALL LOST TO ME. (Guy who won was keeping his mouth shut, and I could live with that!) It was a lot of fun. :)

10. Sunroof On Our Car - Smased to Pieces
I'm thinking it was because of our John Kerry stickers and ABB sticker (all it says is ABB)

11. I have a...
"blood for oil- billionaires for bush" bumper sticker. And I live in Florida, in that area of radical repukes and lefties. I park in a crowded parking lot each day at work, and I have saved a collection of notes that have been left on my car...so funny they are all.

1.) "you're (sic) views on the world are wrong, just keep watching fox news to learn the truth."

I laughed so hard when I heard this, because these people think they are being fed the truth. And the fact that they are so narrow minded that only their views are right. I got a little upset that I couldn't break the big secret to them that maybe their beloved fox station is extremely biased, and has multiple political agendas.


2.) "That's why we gave it back in the Gulf war."

I don't understand this one, because Bush Sr. didn't recognize the growing need of oil yet so... any help anybody.

This last note left on my windshield was soaked (rain), so I tried to decipher the best I could. It reads:

"go to hell"

ok it wasn't that hard to decipher

Would have happened if the circumstances were reversed. Dont make everything about politics and party. That "us" vs "them" mentatility is hard to get past sometimes.

13. The answer is yes. Most assholes are Republicans.
Not all Republicans are assholes, but the Republican platform is designed to attract former playground bullies.
