1. Sweet - nt

[FirstLight]

3. hmmm...

As much as i want to be supportive...i also worry about asking for trouble. So many haters in Nevada, they could get scary. I swear, the rednecks are getting more rowdy...

[Cleita]

5. My car has already been keyed since I put mine on.

I don't care. I refuse to be intimidated. I'm thinking of a way to inform any future keyers that my car wears those stickers and key marks proudly. Oh, my other sticker is the DU one on my signature for Medicare For All.

[KILL THE WISE ONE]

64. I can put it on the old car-a new scratch will never be noticed.

Miss piggy has lots of stickers. They cover her rust spots and cosmetic issues.

The midlife crisis car dos not do bumper stickers.

[FirstLight]

7. I did it, though...

let's see the rowdy bastids try to mess with me!

I also signed up for volunteer work...we shall see if it pans out. I have a lot of issues i want our Pres to got aggressive on, maybe he will hear that coming from more than just me.

[get the red out]

11. My worry here in Kentucky

It was here in Lexington that the 'bagger stomped on the woman's head at the Rand Paul rally.

[TheWraith]

83. I live in a similar area, but when it comes to the knuckledraggers, my attitude is "fuck them."

I'm annoyed, voting, and very heavily armed. Let the bastards come.

[Cleita]

4. I got one without even asking in the mail about six months

It's been on my car bumper since then.

[chrisa]

6. Thanks Skinner!

Definitely going to throw a car magnet on there this year.

[lamp_shade]

8. Done. :-]

[elocs]

9. No thanks. (I am allowed to say that, aren't I?)

I fully intend to vote for him, I just don't want a bumper sticker on my car.

[get the red out]

10. I want one

But I'm a little afraid to use one. I just got a new car (and car payment) and am more than a little worried about violent tea baggers here in Kentucky damaging it, that's not something in the old budget, "insurance deductible from tea bagger destruction". It's a hybrid so I figure that would make it even worse for them.

I wonder, with the tea party's power here, if I can afford to have political bumper stickers anymore.

:scared:

[alp227]

12. while Paul Ryan charges an admission fee for his constituents to speak with him n/t

[GeorgeGist]

13. Wall St is paying for them.

[Erose999]

14. Does it say "I voted for Obama and all I got was this lousy sticker"?

[SusanaMontana41]

48. lol ... get one, back it with a magnet, then you can turn it upside down

and/or remove it.

[pam4water]

73. +1 Obama bumper stickers.... We can't even give them away LOL

[Oceansaway]

15. thanks...n/t

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

16. I'm always reminded of how lucky I am to live in a very progressive area in a very BLUE state.

Can't wait to get my sticker and put it right next to the Obama/Biden '08.

Thanks!!

[Lone_Star_Dem]

17. It made me laugh. It said, "Don't be the last in your neighborhood to get one!"

When they see what neighborhood they're sending it out to they're going to be like, "Wow, that's the only one we've sent there. Break out the kevlar coated edition for this one!"

:rofl: or should that be? :cry:

[Scuba]

30. Sounds like my neighborhood. n/t

[Synnical]

18. Thanks for the link. n/t

[MarianJack]

19. Thank You, Skinner!

:patriot:

PEACE!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. Well, I signed up to get one...

And I was going through the application, and lo and behold, here was an appeal for money.

Well, I ignored that part. I donated once and I don't feel like donating again...

But it wouldn't let me send the application without sending some money.

So.

I decided to email my response to the person sending the email. I told him that I didn't feel like sending any more money, and besides I'd been told that this would be a *free* bumper sticker.

So, what's up with asking for money?

I sent my email.

Not ten minutes later I had an answer! Your bumper sticker will be there in about 4 to 6 weeks!

It makes sense to raise your voice now and then, I guess...

[dixiegrrrrl]

38. Do let us know what happens in "4 to 6 weeks".

[CaliforniaPeggy]

40. I will..........if I remember!

I should have it...

:shrug:

:hi:

[csziggy]

49. Actually at the top of the donation page there is a Thank You

"Your sticker will arrive in 4 to 6 weeks."

THEN it says:
"Want to show your support all the way until November 2012? Donate $10 or more and we'll send you a 2012 car magnet."

So they do promise the bumper sticker before they ask for money. Of course, once you sign up for the bumper sticker, they have your info so expect them to hit you up for $$$ regularly over the next fourteen months.

[SusanaMontana41]

53. Including cell phone texts. Very annoying. n/t

[csziggy]

55. The free bumper sticker page only asks for email and address

So expect to get emails from them but not texts unless the account is linked.

I would have donated but I broke a molar Tuesday. Until I go to the dentist tomorrow, I don't how big that hit will be to my budget.

[SusanaMontana41]

57. Well, the no-texts is good news.

Hope the same for your tooth ... and your wallet. :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

56. I did not see that!

I'll go back and check...

Thanks for the heads-up...

[JNelson6563]

69. Easier to scream and cry than to read it all.

By not reading it all one gets to come and reaffirm access to the Kool Kidz Klub by bitchin' 'bout Obama.

No worries Peggy, you're in girl!!1!

[OneTenthofOnePercent]

21. Does this mean we'll have another round of a Gov't Cars program next year

to get most of the new bumper stickers off the road this time too?

[Major Hogwash]

22. How come the ad associated with this thread is for a concealed carry report?

Are we supposed to conceal the sticker so no one knows we have it on the car?

[UrbScotty]

23. The one I got is ALREADY peeling off - so I look forward to my new one!

I put mine on in April, IIRC - but it's already showing signs of wear and tear.

Great way to show visibility in Republican-leaning West Michigan to support Khalid Sheikh bin Hussein bin Soetoro bin Obumbum! :evilgrin:

[ChiciB1]

24. I'll Pass... I May HAVE To Vote For Him, But I SURE WON'T Work For Him!

I've had enough. Or maybe NOT enough! What he offers is going to the OTHER SIDE and IMO he is letting us down.

I will sign on with LABOR if they can mount enough of a challenge. I do realize that I will have to leave DU because of it, but my vote for him isn't going to be one that makes me happy. Most of my friends and family realize we don't have much choice, but we have decided not to hit the streets this time around.

:nopity: :scared:

[cui bono]

78. And if you have to leave DU for standing up for Democratic prinicples then it's not much of a place

to be.

So no loss on your part but BIG loss for this site. When it sticks by the Democratic Party even though they are pushing and passing Republican policies there is something terribly wrong. DINO Underground?

[russspeakeasy]

25. In this area. I could lose my bumper...

:evilfrown:

[madrchsod]

26. i have union and a du stickers on mine...no room for obama`s

[LanternWaste]

27. Sorry about your small bumper...

Sorry about your small bumper...

[jtuck004]

29. There are other things more important than the size of the bumper. /nt

[maheanuu]

61. Bravo Zulu!

N/T

[placton]

28. are they also providing

"Primary Obama!" stickers?

[Skinner]

31. Sadly, no.

Yet another example of how President Obama has let us all down. Again.

[CakeGrrl]

33. Come on. You can get a "NOBAMA" sticker with only a little effort.

:rofl:

[Joe Fields]

32. I don't advertise other people's names on things I own...

[blkmusclmachine]

34. No thanks:

I only support Democrats.

[FedUp_Queer]

35. I agree but...

I only support people who aren't war mongers.

[Butch350]

36. There is a subliminal message embedded in the sticker that reads...

please trash my car!

[BlueIris]

37. Pass.

But maybe they'll get more of them distributed this way. Last time, my father claimed to have waited weeks and weeks to get his after ordering it off the website.

[Brickbat]

39. I think it would clash with my "Unions: We Build America" sticker.

So, no.

[Fearless]

41. Sadly, yes.

[Butch350]

42. Ain't been building nothing in america lately.

[Brickbat]

44. They have, indeed.

I just blew a wad o' cash on a union-made John Deer mower. The sticker is on my union-made car. Mr. Brickbat drives his union-made car (with a sticker) to his union job, where he drives a train to a mine where union miners pull iron ore out of the ground, and then drives the ore to the port, where it's dumped on union-run ships to be taken to union steel mills.

We're holding on.

[Luciferous]

50. +1 My husband works at a union shop that makes parts for Caterpillar.

There are still quite a few union workers out there.

[cwydro]

43. No, not for me.

Not this time.

[MrMickeysMom]

47. + 1

[emilyg]

63. +2

[spanone]

45. thanks skinner!!!!

[The Straight Story]

46. Does he have a 2012 I support the public option, unions, and teachers bumper sticker?

If so, I would prefer to have that one.

[Luciferous]

51. No thanks.

[rug]

52. Will it stick to the left side of the bumper as well as the right side?

Or will it inevitably slide to the center of the bumper?

[NorthCarolina]

54. No thanks, I don't promote conservatives. nt

[UrbScotty]

66. Then don't support Perry - help stop him. (nt)

[Erose999]

68. Two wrongs don't make a right. But one neolib Obama is just about as bad as one rightwing Rick Perry

[Bluesbreaker]

58. Sorry, I have buyer's remorse

Unless the president offers something pretty spectacular, like an aggressive jobs program (I don't care whether it passes or not. This is a litmus test to see if the president will ever be willing to fight for something that benefits someone besides the rich, Wall Street and corporations)--I won't be there with my money, my time and my vote, like I was in 2008.

[handmade34]

59. I put one on my car a few weeks ago and it was stolen

(company car so it has to be magnetic) the evil doer also took my rainbow sticker but couldn't get to the "FOX NEWS LIES" because it was taped to the inside window...


time for a new sticker... YAH!! OBAMA 2012!

[Tx4obama]

62. In 2008 my Obama yard sign was stolen a couple hours after I put it outside.

I got another one and put it in the inside of the house in the window.
Then I got worried that someone might throw a rock,
so I took it down and kept on the fireplace mantel in the den until after the election :)

p.s. Bumper stickers can be easily 'taped' to the inside of the back window of a car, then no one can steal them.

65. I got one in the mail about a month ago. It was free. I didn't have to ask for it.

It came with a request for campaign money.

I wrote ZERO in the 'amount' column, gave them the explanation that "I only vote for Democrats, not Republicans,"
and returned the bumper sticker. I wonder if they will write to me again? ;-)

However, I AM still waiting for my DU sticker that was supposed to be mailed to me when I
made my yearly donation at the beginning of July. I had one on my car for years,
and it has finally worn out. It started peeling at the same time as my old Obama sticker.
I'll gladly support and advertise for DU. DU doesn't make promises it won't keep.

[kentuck]

67. Oh My!

It's worse than I thought.

[Shagbark Hickory]

70. I've seen quite a few of those in my area. I've been seeing them for a while actually.

In *my* area. ahem ahem.
the south.

[Pharaoh]

71. What campaign promises did he keep?

wheres the hope and change?

Sorry but I want somebody progressive to primary him.

[Skinner]

72. Here you go.

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/obameter/

Answer: 144 of them (and counting)

[Pharaoh]

77. yeah he is our guy

http://www.boston.com/news/nation/washington/articles/2011/08/27/obama_officials_back_oil_pipeline_from_canada/

[bulldogge]

81. Exactly

!

[bulldogge]

80. 144

Not bad right around 28%

[TheWraith]

82. No, more like 75%.

If you actually read the Politifact breakdown, instead of trying to look for a way to spin it, you'll see that it's 144 kept versus 45 "broken." Even then, most of the "broken promises" are due to obstructionism, such as the Senate's refusal to pass cap and trade.

[bulldogge]

84. Interesting

I counted a total of 508 promises. 144 complete, that is around 29%, I do believe the only one trying to "spin" it is you. Yes, a lot of those are "still in the works" and a bunch of promises have most certainly been blocked from the right, and even a few on the left, but they are still a promise none the less, you do not begin counting it once it has been vetoed or successfully pushed through.

[Scurrilous]

74. Thanks.

:thumbsup:

[Grassy Knoll]

75. Thanks Skinner, It's on the way..K&R

[tawadi]

76. Thanks

:-)

[classof56]

79. Thanks, Skinner.

Just sent for mine. My bumper needs work, so I'm going to put on the Obama sticker, drive to the reddest part of Oregon, a hundred or so miles east of here, where I once "did time" and hope somebody smashes it in. And I can get my new bumper! They've been known to shoot people whose politics they don't like over in those parts, so I'm risking being gunned down, but I'll take m'chances.

Tired Old Cynic

[Occulus]

85. That's about the last thing I want on my car.

No, thanks.

Not this time.
