How many * bumper stickers have you seen in the last 2 weeks?

[MoonRiver]

Poll question: How many * bumper stickers have you seen in the last 2 weeks?

We've talked about this on several threads, but I thought it would be interesting to quantify things a bit.

[iconoclastic cat]

1. Not a damn one!

Chicagoans are pretty bright, after all.

[MoonRiver]

2. Kansans too, apparently!

:D

[beyurslf]

29. Wichita here and there are 3 in my work parking lot today.

[tritsofme]

34. I'm in the Chicago burbs

and until recently I've only seen one of each.

But during the past week I've seen a spurt of them, maybe about 5 or 6.

Still just one Kerry sticker that said: "John Kerry: The Real Deal"

[hippiegranny]

49. obviously brighter than phoenicians

i've seen quite a few dumbya stickers here, but the upside is that i have seen half as many again kerry stickers. maybe phoenicians are just more sticker happy!

[NewYorkerfromMass]

3. I've seen 1 Kerry and 1 Bush

here in metro New York.

[RoyGBiv]

4. None

Not a one, which is weird considering where I live.

As mentioned in another thread, I experienced an anti-Bush, pro-Kerry moment with three different people in traffic yesterday, but I have yet to see anything close to a pro-Bush advertisement anywhere.

[coltman]

5. Not a single one here in Ohio n/t

[Burma Jones]

6. 3 or 4

here in DC area

[TexasProgresive]

7. None in the last 2 weeks and I work

in the bushbelt-home of the bush libary. pretty interesting.

[AlinPA]

8. 7 or 8 in driveways where we walk; all >300K houses. (W. PA). n/t

[fudge stripe cookays]

9. Not as many as I used to...

and that's encouraging in Freeper Central (DFW).

[Woodman]

10. I'm in Montgomery Alabama

and they are everywhere! My Kerry sticker sometimes get nasty looks!

[newyawker99]

26. Hi Woodman!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Claire Beth]

11. I have seen more for Kerry and

I'm in Tennessee.

[Bonhomme Richard]

12. Seen Kerry but no bush and.......................

I live in a republican area.

[Claire Beth]

21. I hope this is an indicator on how Nov. 2nd will turn out. n/t

[Ganja Ninja]

13. I occasionally see Bush/Cheney Bumper stickers.

Usually a half dozen at a time on the back of one vehicle. They often appear along with an in your face Christian bumper sticker and/or a bumper sticker with a Confederate flag on it.

[MoonRiver]

14. I know what you mean!

But even those wallpaperd cars are few and far between this election. Anyway, I think we can only count one car or house, regardless of how much 'screaming' is going on. :D

[TreasonousBastard]

15. Tw Kerry stickers...

and the few faded Bush/Cheney stickers from 2000 don't count.

Around here, you don't see many bumper stickers of any kind. May have something to do with leased cars, or plastic bumpers.

Pickups, though, are another matter. Union stickers and flags.

[alfredo]

20. The union man may not be very friendly to bush because

of his anti labor stance. I see that in my local.

I have given out at least 100 Kerry bumper stickers in my area.

Get them out there early. We need a big show of numbers. If we can get 5% of the vehicles sporting a Kerry sticker, that would be significant. How many cars do you see every day?

[Trailrider1951]

16. I saw only one yesterday here in Texas.

I was driving back to Houston from Austin, and I also saw a Howard Dean sticker on the back of a minivan on Parmer Lane near Mopac. That person honked the horn at me, probably because he/she saw my Kerry stickers. Deaniac, was that you? :bounce:
I also saw a faded Clinton sticker, but I guess that doesn't count.

[fudge stripe cookays]

25. I like the happy camaraderie of finding more Dems here...

My husband and I have been known to stop our car, frantically waving and happy honking at Dem folks. They're pretty happy back!

[carpetbagger]

57. I've seen a bunch here in Texas.

I probably saw 5 just on my 5-mile commute today. Then again, I also was out yesterday during church time, when all the republicans go give lip service to that guy who babbled about the poor.

[liberalitch]

17. it's a plot!

maybe I'm paranoid, but I think they've told people NOT to display theirs until very close to the election.
I know republicans that have theirs and they are stuck on the fridge or waiting in a mail rack.

[MoonRiver]

27. I don't think so.

The truth is Repubs are turning against AWOL in droves. Maybe a lot of them can't go so far as to vote for Kerry, but I bet they then just stay home.

[NewHampshireDem]

18. Only three ... and two were on ONE CAR!

Which really surprises me here in NH, where I recall seeing many a */Cheney sticker in 2000. I also drove from here to Upstate NY over the weekend and saw none along the way ... though I only saw one Kerry sticker until I got to Ithaca.

[ET Awful]

19. 2 - both on the same car. . .

A beat to shit old Neon that looks like it's about to collapse into a pile of spare parts, and driven by a balding 40-something guy who's about 150 pounds to heavy for the springs in the car to withstand.

Odd that someone who drives a pile of crap, is obviously in need of health care, and also has Union stickers in his window would want to support someone that wants to see him and everyone like him removed from sight.

[Sparkly]

22. Two in Maryland

Lots of Kerry ones!

[Eurobabe]

23. one Bu$hit, at least 8 Kerry in DC and VA

[dae]

24. This in Louisiana on 2 SUV's, 2 luxury cars, and 1redneck rust bucket.

My wife says I have to learn better self-control when I see a Bush or Bush/Cheney bumper sticker.
She was on the phone with one of our sons during one outburst and he thought it was amusing. However, he shares my intolerance for morans and his mother is of a gentler nature.:)

[AndyTiedye]

28. Not a Single Bush* Sticker So Far - NOT ONE!

But Bush* has been about as popular in the Bay Area as a power outage.
Now that CBS is releasing all those tapes which prove it all, his ratings should
drop somewhat lower still.

[MontecitoDem]

30. Santa barbara -

about 8 Kerry stickers, lots more Dean, Clark & Kucinich stickers, and 3 Bush/Cheney stickers in about the last two weeks (all on the 101 freeway).

[mitchum]

31. Exactly 2 and I'm in Georgia

Okay, it is Athens, but fundies and fools still have to come into "town" for provisions. Very encouraging :)

[Scoopie]

32. I've seen about three

and, let me tell you, since I live in the bastion of conservatism - East Tennessee - this is saying A LOT!
Hell, I even saw a Kerry sticker and the girl in the car honked and waved at my Draft Clark sticker. Solidarity, I guess. There is one woman I see regularly on my drive home from work with an "ABB" sticker. LOL.
Seriously, there are only a few Shrubbie stickers in Knoxville and that's saying TONS. (That is if you don't county the 2000 stickers left over and peeling on older cars because no one can afford to buy new ones!)

[osaMABUSh]

33. Does Bush Orwell count?

Yes, I really saw one. It was great.

[SW FL Dem]

35. I haven't seen any and I live in a heavily Repub area

I have, however, seen 3 Kerry bumper stickers, a Veterans for Kerry button and an awesome T shirt saying "Send Bush to Mars".

[Feanorcurufinwe]

36. Zero in Montana.

And zero for Kerry - except my car, of course.

[kurtyboy]

37. Plenty---And I live in a swing state, Washington

Worse, I saw HUGE signs in yards in Anacortes last week--4x8 footers on major thoroughfares, pehaps a half-dozen facing different angles.

This is the same town where a community-owned banner flew across the main drag pushing re-election of *.

http://www.goanacortes.com/articles/2004/04/28/news/news01.txt

It's a DEM town, but nonetheless we're in for a tough fight--and if we let up one little bit in the next six months, we're in for trouble...

[incapsulated]

38. I live in NYC

I only look at cars to see if they are going to hit me. :)

[DaveSZ]

39. 2

I live in Austin, and I've seen more Kerry, Dean, and Clark stickers than * stickers.

[BootinUp]

46. that was funny

lol :)

[Moloch]

40. I live in one of the most republican parishes in Louisiana..

and I have only seen one * sticker! I saw many more in 2000 so this is a good sign!

[molly]

41. One - on a beat up pickup truck

[AmyStrange]

42. DP kick

[union_maid]

43. Still seeing none locally

But at a rest stop on the NYS Thruway last week I saw a nice 4x4 pick-up with a Harley Davidson license plate frame and a bumper sticker that said, "Vote the son of a Bush out!" The driver was in the truck and we gave him the thumbs up about it.

[Anwen]

44. 3 or 4 in Northern CA...

But I've also begun seeing Kerry/Democrat stickers as well. It's encouraging. :D

[BootinUp]

45. I said 6-10

But it might be more, lots of fundies here in Cartersville GA. :scared:

[Arugula Latte]

53. Yikes. Poor you.

nt

[mia]

47. Not one in Miami!

Have seen a few Kerry bumper stickers on cars in traffic this week, and lots of them at Dem events.

Last Friday I went to a breakfast at the Versailles Restaurant. This place is the local hotbed of political activity. It was great, if not a little surreal, seeing so many Spanish speaking people eager to unseat Ileana Ros-Lehtinen!
http://www.patlak.org/index.html

On the other hand, I saw a man waving a "Mel Martinez for Senate" sign this morning. :puke:
I've got some Betty Castor flyers and plan to pass more out later today. Go Betty!
http://www.bettynet.com/site/PageServer

While I'm at it, here's a plug for my favorite candidate for Mayor of Dade-County.
http://www.jimmy2004.com/eng/home.aspx

More good news, there's "Republicans for Kerry" Cuban group hosting a fundraiser at lunchtime today and this evening I'm headed for an event with Teresa Kerry as the speaker. It will be the second time I've seen her. I expect to see a lot of Kerry bumper stickers there.

The tide is turning in Miami, and if we have an honest election this time around, Bush will suffer a resounding defeat.

[West Coast Democrat]

48. I saw one last week

I live in Portland, OR

On edit: I've also seen several Kerry yard signs, and not one Bush sign yet.

[Eurobabe]

50. one poor slob with GOP CHM on his plate

we pulled in front of him and then drove real slow so he could see our Kerry sticker. :)

[isa-lee]

51. only one here in Charlotte

and it was on a Prius, which was weird. I have seen several Kerry and one for Erskine Bowles today in the grocery store parking lot.

[malachibk]

52. ZERO -- Yeah NYC!

I wonder what would happen if someone with a bush sticker drove through the City? Bet it'd get nasty.

[MoonRiver]

54. It's been a while since I started this thread,

and honest to God I still haven't seen one! I see lots of "God Bless America" and "Support Our Troops", but the only real political bumper stickers seem to be anti *, like "Dump *" a favorite here. Not many pro-Kerry either, but more than pro-*.

[Dying Eagle]

55. 2

but i have seen 5-6 kerry

[sabbat hunter]

56. none...

not a single bush sticker. here in republican nassau county, where the republicans hold a 3-2 edge in voter registration, but has been trending democratic lately in elections and voter registration


david
:hippie:

[LoverOfLiberty]

58. East Portland

*Gag*

Bush/Cheney 04.

It was on a Mercedes SUV. Guy was in a shirt and tie, gal looked like she was late for a ballroom dance rehersal.

Figured they lost their way to Beaverton.

[Arugula Latte]

67. ... or Gresham eom

[DinahMoeHum]

59. All the * stickers I've seen of late take his name in vain. . .

eg.
Let's Not Elect Him In 2004, Either

I Don't Have To Like Bush To Love America


etc.


:kick:

[apnu]

60. Chicago here....

Saw one on a car down town in the financial district. but the Train (we call it the "L" for elevated train) is a sea of Obama and Kerry posters in people's windows facing the tracks for the commuters! It's a pleasant thing to see first thing in the morning!

:)

[info being]

61. I've never seen one

Its interesting that nationalistic jingoism seems to be used in place of direct support of Bush. I assume everybody with a flag on their car is a Bush supporter...though I'm intrigued with the possibility that this may not necessarily be the case.

[flaminbats]

62. at least 30 in the last two weeks...

just today I have seen one Mary Squires sticker, another for Isakson, one for Mac Collins, one for Westmoreland for Congress, another with Levetan for Congress, two on one car for Kucinich, one on a telephone poll for Wes Clark, two for Bush/Cheney, one for Kerry, one for Herman Cain, and one for John Edwards stuck to a public bus.

[Piperay]

63. About two Kerry ones and

about four Bush/cheney ones (they could be from the last Selection):puke: I live in a burb of Los Angeles county.

[libertad]

64. I see them everyday, multiple times, usually with a confederate

flag decal on display, as well.

[mcar]

65. 0-5

Surprising because I live in a very conservative area.

I've seen fewer Kerry stickers, but I have seen some. That's hopeful to me.

[THUNDER HANDS]

66. not one on Long Island

But I've got my Kerry sticker on!

[NewYorkerfromMass]

68. Just saw a Kerry sticker on the FDR Drive headed downtown

so that makes 2 Kerry sticker sightings in 4 weeks.

[Fla Dem]

69. Just saw 2 in the last week. One said "no more bushit" Warmed my heart.

And made me smile.

:yourock:

[LibDemAlways]

70. Here in Ventura County, CA

home of the Ray-gun library, I've seen a few chimp/cheney stickers. They tend to be on the largest SUVs. Also seen a surprising number of Kerry stickers on cars and in the windows of homes. This is a hopeful sign.

[tom_paine]

71. Saw my first one today. Flipped him off.

n/t

[MoonRiver]

74. tee hee

A few years ago they were doing that to us, and we were cowering. :D

[Stew225]

72. I've been trying to get a freaking bumper

sticker but to no avail.

[charlyvi]

73. I'm in Alabama....

Yes, Alabama, and I haven't seen one yet. I did see a Kerry sticker, though, which made my heart happy. It's weird--for the most freeper state in the nation not to have any * bumper stickers. And I'm on the Interstate two hours a day--if * bumper stickers were popular, I would definitely know. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN!!!!!

[MoonRiver]

75. I SAW MY FIRST ONE TODAY! Said "I stand with George W. *ush"

It was at a Wallmart parking lot, where I wasn't shopping btw. My daughter had a coupon and used it despite our aversion for this international child abuser.

[TNMOM]

76. More and more each day!

I see two yard signs on my way to my kids' day care. I live in a Milwaukee suburb that is very conservative, so this is a good sign!! I saw a car at the grocery store just today, with TWO Kerry stickers.

[nator311]

77. here in San Diego

I've surprisingly seen about 3 kerry stickers in the last week and 2 or 3 Bush ones. This is good considering this is heavy republican territory. I never saw a single Gore sticker in 2000, but too many Bush/Cheney stickers that year.

[Quixote1818]

78. Has anyone seen the Bush/Satin 04 sticker?

I saw one in Albuquerque and could not stop laughing!

I have seen three or for Kerry stickers and no Bush stickers here in New Mexico.

[EricE]

79. Why so few Bush/Cheney bumper-stickers on cars?

Here's the answer, given in a spirit of helpfulness, from a Bush supporter. It is not due to a lack of enthusiasm out there for the president. It is because most of us understand that many among our opposition have such a white-hot hatred for GWB that we Bush supporters fear that a Bush bumper-sticker could turn our cars into targets for vandalism, and nobody wants that. This being the case, we are content to wait until November to express our support for the president. Just thought you might like to know, since I didn't see that any of you had considered this as a possible reason.

[MoonRiver]

81. Please,

I have never ever met a shy or unaggresive rightwing ideologue. I don't know about you or the people you hang with, but every true blue * supporter I've known comes across like a pit bull.

The fact is, imho, that the support for this warmongering dunce is simply disappearing. Truth hurts.

[NNadir]

80. I've seen many more Kerry bumperstickers but I live in NJ.

[magnolia]

82. In Richmond....

...heavy Republican area, I've only seen one Bush sticker. But I'm sure it's due to over-confidence.

I've seen about a dozen Kerry stickers and 3 big lawns signs in windows.

My favorite bumpersticker said: Dated Dean, Married Kerry

[Sean Reynolds]

83. I've only seen one all year.

It was out in the 'burbs.

Here in Salt Lake City I see two or so Kerry bumperstickers a day (when I actually go out and drive) as well as a lot of Kucinich ones.
