At the gas station today, a woman ahead of me had a disgusting bumper

[cboy4]

that read "GOD BLESS PRESIDENT BUSH" (:puke:)

I had to stop myself from beating my car with the nozzle after I heard her tell a person one pump over something like, "Isn't it great? I didn't think
they'd (gas prices) drop so much.

:spray: That's a good one!

Typical stupid, ignorant Republican stooge who can't put two and two together to deduce these gas prices are absolutely being MANIPULATED just in time for the election.

How on earth can anyone be so naive.....so stupid? It's astonishing.

[helderheid]

1. that is disgusting. We're still at $2.80 in Utah

[bluestateguy]

7. Well, that's because your votes can be taken for granted in Utah

Here in Michigan, a swing state, they are dropping like a rock.

[marmar]

12. Yup. Which just proves this is total election year manipulation...

I was in D.C. last week, up near the Mazza Galleria, and gas was still almost $3 a gallon. When will Americans realize they're being played like a pipe organ.

[grateful581]

31. that was my thought

Here in utah we usually have some of the lowest gas prices in the country.
I guess the repukes know that they don't have to bribe Utahns for votes.

2. "Conservatives" - Proud of ignorance, unconcerned of cowardice

I'M NOT SCARED ENOUGH TO VOTE REPUBLICAN

[Jawja]

32. That's a great bumpersticker!!

I'M NOT SCARED ENOUGH TO VOTE REPUBLICAN

:rofl:

[bluestateguy]

3. Bet she was bitching and complaining when gas was $1.60 in the Clinton Adm

But I'll make one more prediction: gas prices will go down even more if Democrats win control of either house of Congress, so as to diffuse demand for congressional hearings of the oil companies.

[johnnie]

4. Honestly...

Listening to bush speak, seeing the decisions he has made, and just about everything else about the guy, God hasn't really blessed him much so far. So I guess the bumper sticker is OK. You should have told the woman, "Yeah, God better bless the guy, he seems to have dropped the ball on him so far."

[Freedom_from_Chains]

5. absolutely being MANIPULATED just in time for the election.

That's the thing I think when I hear people asking "Why is the price of gas dropping so much?" It's time for the elections dumb ass, Don't worry, if Republicans stay in control you'll get your high gas prices back!!!!!


:spank:

[soothsayer]

10. I hope the Dems will investigate price fixing of gas prices when

we're back in power...!

[abluelady]

6. Unfortunately, She Is Not Alone

If there werent so many naive, stupid people out there Bush wouldn't be president.

[tblue]

8. I don't care what George Lakoff says

They ARE stupid.:wtf:

[sabra]

9. praise Bush, gas is $2.80 here in Chicago

:sarcasm:

[Botany]

11. Did the scares from the lobotomy show?

[LiberalEsto]

13. Change the word Bless to Help n/t

[Nikki Stone 1]

Hey, how 'bout we get a GOD BLESS AL GORE sticker?

I mean, the guy is a Christian and the good kind, not the wacko kind or the fake kind (like Chucklenuts and Robertson.)

:)

[dkofos]

14. This is Amerika isn't it.

Land of the sorta free
Home of the stupid

[blue sky at night]

15. take heart in the knowledge that you know better.....

we can never hope to change others in their thinking, only ourselves. Keep a positive outlook, the sea change is coming. BTW, if you forgive her, then her power over you disappears.

[bdamomma]

16. she is part of bush cult.

[Flatpicker]

17. Manipulation

I don't think it's going to work for the masses.
I have heard too many people claiming that this is a play to not lose the November midterms.

The repugs game has been sussed out and we aren't buying that anymore.

[rodeodance]

20. yes, perhaps so. But what real proof is there?---I get stumped on that

question-and it gets thrown at me a lot!

[blue sky at night]

37. Hey!!!

welcome to DU, and thanks for posting!!

[indepat]

18. The the cult has drunk its kool aid for which there's no antidote....

[madinmaryland]

19. I saw this a couple of weeks ago...

SUPPORT THE TROOPS
SUPPORT PRESIDENT BUSH

:grr:

:puke:

[Nikki Stone 1]

21. Support the troops: Get them body armor and medical care!!

That's my new one.

22. 30%+ Of U.S. Citizens Are Morons

The percentage will be even higher for the next generation....the ones the current 30% are making their offspring.

[FILAM23]

23. I am really at a lose,

as to why people let a strangers bumper sticker bother them?
Everyone has the right to express their opinion without recrimination

[cboy4]

The expression is at a "loss" NOT at a "lose" -- and my ire was mostly

directed at her comment about gas prices....not the bumper sticker.

I simply mentioned the sticker to point out that she is clearly a Republican idiot.

Does that help you?

edit typo

[FILAM23]

28. Thanks for the grammar lesson, don't know what i was thinking at the time

But no it doesn't help. If the comment was directed to someone else
why would you let her stupidity upset you.

[cboy4]

30. It upsets me because it is stupid people like her who voted to put

Bush in the White House, despite the pain and misery he's responsible for throughout the world.

Are you trying to tell me that I should never be upset about anything in life unless it's directed toward me?

I shouldn't get upset if I see a bumper sticker that says "White Power" or "Homosexuality Is a Sin?"

[blonndee]

36. What recrimination? Did the OP somehow try to deny her her right

to express her ignorance? Did he call the police on her? Did he subsequently follow her and run her off the road?

What, exactly, do you mean, "recrimination?"

[cboy4]

38. Thanks for coming to my rescue! LOL

I'm glad I'm not the only person who thinks it's okay to have opinions about crappy bumper stickers and crappy comments! ;)

[Blue Belle]

24. Was she driving an SUV too?

That would complete the picture of the Bush-Bot.

[cboy4]

27. ding ding ding......a Lexus SUV. I thought I'd mentioned that in my OP.

Thanks for the reminder!! :bounce:

[Blue Belle]

29. Somehow... I just knew.

Although, in my mind it was a black Escalade. :)

[jhuth at work]

25. That is a request that hasn't been fufilled.

[Xenotime]

26. Her "precious" is ruining the economy by doing this...

I hope she enjoys the inflation in the economy this will bring. All just to steal another election.

[tomreedtoon]

33. Start making stickers for gas pumps. They should say...

"Vote Republican and watch these numbers go up."

Post them everywhere you go.

[lectrobyte]

34. I see "Support our troops and president Bush" a lot. Sad.

[catmandu57]

35. I've written these people off as lost

If after all this time they can't see what this moran* and puppeteers are and have done to us they never will, I take note of what they look like and what they drive, because I fear that in the future they may very well be leading the charge against us.

Edit: to all of the newbies on this thread hello and welcome to DU.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

39. A fellow Dem and I straightened some Repub. out at the pool this week

He said "Yeah the prices wll go back up once the election if over. The Repub. looked at him like they didn't believe it and I said "He's absolutley right!"

It was a beeeutiful moment.
