Do you see Bush bumper stickers in your area where you live?

[shance]

I haven't seen one in the longest time.

Of course I'm in LA but I used to see a number of them. That was some years back.

Now I don't see any.

[nosillies]

1. Mainly on cars driven by reeeaaallly old people

But then really old people kind of dominate my area, so those are just the odds, I guess.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

2. Rarely

but then I live close to Springfield MO, home of "Let the Eagle Soar" Ashcroft. I find it odd, frankly, that I don't see more in this red part of the country. On the other hand, just last week I saw two cars that had stickers on them saying "Save our Country-Vote Democratic". They appeared to be new.

[JTG of the PRB]

3. I see a handful when I'm in Boulder every now and then.

There are even more still in Longmont. I really need to get some more stickers on my car. All I've got is my Broncos, Avalanche, and Free Tibet stickers right now. The DU sticker (which I just got the other day!!!) will be going up as soon as I'm willing to wash my filthy car.

[moc]

4. Sadly, yes. But, I live in North Texas, so no big surprise.

On Friday, I saw a bumper sticker that said "Dick Cheney, President '08'. :puke:

[shance]

18. Bless your heart. I used to live in Texas too. It must be the heat,

I think it affects some of us more than it does others.

[Jazzgirl]

23. Haven't seen that one around here moc.

I live in Arlington and work in North Ft. Worth and I don't see hardly any *shrub stickers anymore. I think its wonderful!

[yellowdogintexas]

46. jazzgirl, where in North FW do you work? I also work in north FW. nt

[Jazzgirl]

63. I work off of Western Center Drive.....

Probably won't be too hard to figure out where. :-)

[yellowdogintexas]

86. you are right, it shouldn't but I don't know much about what is

up at Western Center Drive.

I am down at North Beach and 820...another location probably not too hard to figure out where.

[tammywammy]

53. I live in Arlington too!

I work in Irving. I hardly ever see a Bush bumper sticker. :shrug: Though I still haven't taken off my Bell for Governor sticker yet.

[yellowdogintexas]

87. Hi there Tammywammy, how's the new house.

LOL I still have KerryEdwards, and it is staying there until we officially have new nominees. I still have Barbara Ann's sticker too.

[theredpen]

29. W - The Worst

I live in North Texas, too. Haven't seen the Cheney sticker yet, thank Jeebus.

There is a Jaguar that parks in my neighborhood and I always sneered at it because it has the classic black square "W" sticker on it. Then one day, I was walking closer to it and noticed that instead of "The President" written in small letters under the "W", it said, "The Worst." Made my day.

[yellowdogintexas]

45. 'nother one seen around North Texas: 'W' "The Problem"

saw this in my office parking lot, in North Ft Worth.

[MadMaddie]

5. Very few on the East Side of Seattle

[Epiphany4z]

6. yep

saw a couple this weekend. im in ne ohio

[Swamp Rat]

7. Not in New Orleans

... unless it is a SUV or pick-up truck from Texas.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

8. A few here around Vancouver, WA. Mostly on Hummers and the like.

Usually bedecked with the obligatory yellow ribbons and Jesus symbols.

[rzemanfl]

9. Two distinct classes, big assed trucks and SUVs and old

clunks with Jesus fish and a "Choose Life" plate. Then there are the "Terri was murdered" stickers, which is a whole different class of asshole. The numbers are dwindling though. I cannot get within 5 car lengths of a * sticker without feeling ill.

[shance]

76. Yep.

Sounds about right.

Thanks for the post*

[Maddy McCall]

10. Reporting from south Mississippi.

I see one maybe once a week. And it's usually on some high school student's four-wheel drive.

I don't see them nearly as often as I used to. Don't see the yellow ribbons, either.

I'm starting to see more "Support Our Troops, Bring Them Home" and "Veteran Against the Iraq War" stickers.

W is a sore topic down here, since Katrina.

Edited to add: I travel through south Louisiana and recently went on vacation through Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, and North Carolina. I didn't see any W stickers at all while we were on vacation, and I never see them in south Louisiana, either.

[styersc]

11. Plenty in Red State South CArolina.

.

[petersjo02]

12. No

I did see one the other day that the owner was trying to remove and hadn't quite got the job done yet.

P.S. My Kerry/Edwards bumper sticker is still on my truck. Have made no effort to remove it.

[Maddy McCall]

13. What I think is funny...

is that I'm seeing more Kerry/Edwards stickers now than I even saw during the election.

It's like people who were hesitant to put them on their vehicles then are proud to put them on their vehicles now.

[ikojo]

14. I work in a wealthy section of suburban St Louis

county and I still see a lot of W04 bumper stickers. May be left overs, I don't know. I am seeing more and more stickers that say Coexist and WTF (using the same logo used for W04).

What I'm not seeing that I did see in the months after 9/11 as well as after the invasion of Iraq are American flags being flown from plastic polls attached to the car windows.

I did see a Giuliani 2008 bumper sticker in West County the other day.

[Pool Hall Ace]

15. Unfortunately, yes.

Usually on Ford Extortions or dually pickups.

Raleigh, NC here. :hi:

[shance]

24. Backatcha Raleigh*** LA's sending you a west coast hi and a hug!

n/t

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

16. I live in Irving, Texas - you do the math

Stupid assholes. I get so angry when I see those damn stickers.

[Maddy McCall]

21. I didn't know that you are in Irving.

My first "serious" boyfriend from my teenage years now lives in Irving.

I was in Irving in December--went to adopt a pair of sugar gliders from the humane society there. The folks at the shelter were friendly liberals and really liked my "Somewhere in Texas, a village is missing it's idiot" bumper sticker. But they were the only Irving residents I encountered.

:hi:

[Jazzgirl]

26. Depose, I'm not seeing near as many as I used to.

I see very few in Ft. Worth. I still see a few but its long stretches between when I do.

[w8liftinglady]

28. lol-I used to work there-I love getting in front of them

with the Liberal Nascar I drive...they ALWAYS back wayyyyyyyyy up...pussies.

[tammywammy]

54. I work in Irving

I hardly see any Bush bumper stickers. :shrug: I did see a Kerry-Edwards one a week or so ago on my way to work.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

60. We live in Valley Ranch

Maybe there are more in this neighborhood than in other parts of Irving. Granted, I don't get out much, but I do see those damned "W04" and "Bush Cheney" stickers around here.

[lutefisk]

17. Lots. On big cars, small cars, new cars, old cars... it's a bit discouraging.

The "W" and "Bush/Cheney" stickers don't even look old and weathered. I think people around here are actually still putting them on their vehicles. I'm not saying I'm all that smart, but I am truly surrounded by idiots.

[bigwillq]

Sometimes

I live in CT

[Warren DeMontague]

19. Very rarely. I know I'm in a blue area, but it seems to me a lot have been pulled off of cars.

I used to see them with some frequency.

[earthlover]

20. Hardly any in Lynchburg VA....

See more Webb for Senate stickers by far, left over from the election!

What happened to all the Bush ones?

Is it legal to drive with a Bush-Cheney sticker or wouldn't that fall under the heading of driving under the influence?

[rockymountaindem]

Yeah. A ton. Colorado Springs, Colorado. n/t

[shance]

25. Ya hanging in there RMD?

n/t

[rockymountaindem]

38. Oh yeah

Being the token liberal and token Jew has its advantages. For starters, freaking people out is usually pretty easy: just put a rock album in the CD player. Merely expressing support for Democrats is a great way to illicit looks of shock, if not awe, and telling someone I don't celebrate Christmas really blows their minds.

Sarcasm aside, things are actually getting better. Our county has elected a record high of three Democrats to state government (out of fifteen) and the pervasive nature of the fundamentalists seems to be weakening, although that may just be in the wake of Haggard's fall from grace. We'll see. 'Till then, this is RMD, signing off from Dobsonland.

[Jazzgirl]

22. I live in the Dallas/Ft. Worth metro.

I used to see tons of them. I used to wish I could mentally just bust a hole through every one I saw. Now, I rarely see any. Its amazing. The really rabid repukes I knew are so pissed off a *shrub now they don't know what to do. The interesting thing is it wasn't just immigration that pissed them off. It was the commutation of scooty-poots sentence that pissed them off just as much. They think he is a traitor. Never thought I'd hear that in Texas!

[Ready4Change]

27. A few. MD DC area.

Much much fewer than before. They tend to be old and a bit tattered looking. Usually on SUV's or Pickups, with shadows of forgotten ribbon stickers.

[HughMoran]

30. Occasionally. There is ONE moron in parking lot at work ADDED one

recently - he now has two!!

I yelled "Bush is a moron and so are you" at him once when he was heading into the factory - that felt good as I think it's time to start calling a spade a spade - whether the morons like it or not.

[Libby2]

31. yes, yes, yes

Every damned day.
It really pisses me off too.

[jgraz]

32. I've only ever seen one in Berkeley

On an SUV right next to a sticker saying "Why worry? God's in control!"

[treestar]

33. Very rarely now

They weren't all that common earlier, either, even in 2004.

I live in a bluer part of a blue state.

[NYC Liberal]

34. The last time I saw a pro-Bush ANYTHING in NYC was in 2004,

and that was *inside* Madison Square Garden. On TV.

Even then:

http://www.gawker.com/news/culture/stalker/gawker-stalker-bungalow-8-nycs-best-crack-den-026053.php

Freemans, tuesday night the 16th of nov. the bush twins , along with 2 massive secret service men, tried to have dinner. they were told by the maitre'd that they were full and would be for the next 4 years. upon hearing, the entire restaurant cheered and did a round of shots... it was amazing!!! Ed: We're hearing that this is actually true.

(Italics mine for the last part, it was in brackets but wouldn't post like that.)

:)

[Bravo Zulu]

35. Every once in awhile here in southwestern Pa

But one day I saw a State Policeman that had a truck with bu$h cheney sticker on the bumper pulled over on the side of the road with the driver jacked up on the side of the truck putting hand cuffs on him!

[IDemo]

36. Not nearly as often as you might expect in Boise, Idaho

But yeah, they're still around.

[moonlady0623]

37. Only on Big White SUVs and Pickups

Here in the Willamette Valley....for a while there I didn't see any, but now I notice they seem to be most prevalent on the driver side back window of white gas-hogs. Weird.

[recoveringdittohed]

39. One of my cousins still has one on her SUV

I'm in SW Ohio

[proud2BlibKansan]

40. No not many in Kansas City

but I saw a lot in OK, TX and NE.

[TheCowsCameHome]

41. Now and then, usually on a pickup or similar style vehicle,

with a brain-dead looking driver inside.

[Faygo Kid]

42. Hell yes - I work in downtown DC

The True Believers are out there - the insane 25 percent who get their science from Rush Limbaugh and really believe that Bill O'Reilly is looking out for them. Constantly see the W '04 stickers, and saw one about the terrorists counting on the Democrats just on Friday (white Cadillac. Go figure).

[nickinSTL]

43. every now and then

Maybe a couple a month? A lot fewer than there were a few years ago, but they're still out there.

Me, I've still got my Kerry/Edwards sticker up. As soon as I get a Kucinich sticker (or whoever wins the primaries) that'll change.

[1620rock]

44. Not in a long time here in eastern Michigan.

[Sheltiemama]

47. Oh, honey ...

... I live in East Tennessee. I see them every single day. I've even seen a Fred Thompson bumper sticker.

[shance]

56. You know sheltiemama, I continue to wonder why in the world they think this Administration

is doing anything but putting their futures in total jeopardy?

I wish I could figure out how they rationalize what the Administration is doing and how they think its helping them?

[Sheltiemama]

79. Every time I see one ...

... I'm amazed anyone still openly supports Bush. But I have blood relatives who do.

And every time I see a Kerry/Edwards bumper sticker, I think, well, at least we tried.

Then I wonder why people don't remove old bumper stickers. They look bad when they fade and start to peel and crack.

[DesertRat]

48. Yes, on a daily basis

:eyes:

[shance]

77. Where are you DR?

If you don't mind me asking?

[DesertRat]

78. Scottsdale. n/t

[AZBlue]

49. You still see them in AZ.

[Toasterlad]

50. My Landlord Has a "Gun Owners for Bush" Sticker on His Truck.

I always pay my rent on time.

[shance]

59. LOL! Probably not a bad idea.

You know, I think the right to bear arms is potentially more threatened with this Administration than any other.

I hope I'm wrong.

[Sheltiemama]

85. Oh, I've seen that one.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

51. In Minneapolis they're scarce as hens' teeth.

I hardly ever see them any more. But it seems like nobody has removed their Kerry/Edwards stickers -- those are everywhere.

[shance]

74. 'Scarce as hen's teeth' - i like that*

Minneapolis sounds like LA. Lot's (or a good amount) of Kerry/Edwards stickers and scarcely a Bush sticker to be found.

[sanskritwarrior]

52. I see a lot of them

on Schofield Barracks here in Hawaii and out in Waianae.........

[shance]

58. in Hawaii??

That's weird.

[Zoigal]

55. South Bay LA

Once in a blue moon...

[shance]

57. me too Zoi.....

n/t

[Fla_Democrat]

61. Yes

eom

[NewJeffCT]

62. Still see them on occasion here in Connecticut

Mostly the (W '04) circular stickers.

[AngryOldDem]

64. A few

Mainly in the affluent part of town, where people are generally untouched by stark reality.

[dkofos]

65. I still see them around, but not as many as 2-3 years ago.

I live in Collin County Tx, one of the reddest places on the planet!!

[devilgrrl]

66. You still see some in LA

:puke:

[LibDemAlways]

67. Border of LA and Ventura counties in So. Cal. --a few.

Also a guy in the area who drives a hummer painted like an American flag. We do have our share of assholes.

[kenny blankenship]

68. Atlanta- YES.

Especially outside the wire (I-285).

[marlakay]

69. Yes still see them

but I am in 50/50 town and alot of conservatives here. Religious town too. Usually the car is also filled with all kinds of yellow ribbons for the soldiers too. My bumper sticker is the one from moveon about ending the war.

[shance]

71. Good for you Marlakay***

n/t

[rucky]

70. Regularly.

I've got one that matches the W'04 window decal, until you look close: W(rong)

[shance]

72. That's good.

I've also seen the anti-bush sticker with the W and the line across it.

[judaspriestess]

73. yes, here in Vegas

its always some really old ass people (no offense to older folks) who drive Lincoln town cars or of course trucks.

[shance]

75. Thanks JP*

If I do see cars with W stickers, or the ones that I have seen have been guys in their twenties/thirties with shaved heads driving either SUV's or big loud pickups.

[Fox Mulder]

80. Yes.

Of course I live in a red town, though.

That's why I'm moving in a month or so.

[yardwork]

81. I still see a few, but this is a red state.

On the other hand, I was somewhat surprised to see very few near the military bases on the coast this past spring. I saw lots and lots of the usual Marines and Navy and NRA stickers. Bush was conspicuous by his absence.

[OnionPatch]

82. If you drive a little east, you will see them.

Here in the far reaches of the "Inland Empire" I still see them occasionally. But not nearly as many as there used to be. What I also notice is a whole lot more union stickers, Democratic stickers, peace stickers and anti-war stickers. And just yesterday I thought I saw a W sticker but on closer inspection it said, WTF?! :D

[leftofthedial]

83. I used to see lots of them

then, about 2005, it began to reduce to only a few

now, if I see one, I have to do a double take. I've seen three or four this whole Summer.

[LaurenG]

84. Yes but I live in a f***ed up place

where liars are king and people have to drive past the big Jesus if they want to go to Dayton

[Oilwellian]

88. Reporting from SW Virginia

What was once a bastion of W stickers, I now very rarely see one. Some freepers down the road had one on their SUV and even they were too embarrassed to continue sporting it. :D

[emdee]

89. West Tennessee - you betch'a....

BUT, not nearly as many, thankfully. In fact, many people I personally know used to have a Bush bumper sticker and they've been gone for quite a while. But, on a typical drive to Memphis (an hour drive one way), we usually see three or four now whereas it used to be a dozen or so.

emdee

[proud patriot]

90. Every so often

A far more common is the Flag "freedom isn't free" window decal.

I'm in a suburb of San Francisco.

[Marr]

91. Used to see them everywhere. I think I've seen one in the last month.

I'll spot one every once in awhile, and it's almost always on one of those Micro-Penis trucks. You know- the ones that are raised so high you need a step ladder to get in?

I'm in Los Angeles.
