I pass this pickup with a W’06 sticker, and the guy sees my lefty stickers

[Webster Green]

…He then speeds up to catch up with me on my right, and rolls down his window and signals me to do the same, and I roll down my passenger window, and this guy (typical blue collar looking guy with a buddy or co-worker riding shotgun) yells: “Why is that American flag upside down, why don’t you have an upside down Mexican flag?

I yelled back that the upside down flag is an internationally understood maritime distress signal, and our country is in serious distress, and I’m a Vietnam veteran and I love my country.

His response: “Yeah, the country is fucked up because of that asshole Bush!

My response: Well, I’ll bet you voted for him!

His response: He hit his forehead with the palm of his hand, (you know, like David Byrne does as he sings “Same as it ever was……same as it ever was”), then he rolled his eyes, laughed and drove off.

That is an interesting gesture, slapping your forehead with the palm of your hand, kind of the opposite of flipping someone the bird. I’ve used that gesture myself on occasion, after some stupid driving on my part, to indicate that I screwed up…sorry!

It was obvious that this guy was a very recent convert to the ranks of bush-disapprovers, and that his conversion was ALL about the immigration issue, but it was still pretty cool welcoming him on board.B-)

8. Great story!

When I clicked the link I was thinking, "Uh-oh, the pickup driver probably tried to pick a fight." Glad that my assumption was wrong. :)

[stop the bleeding]

[SammyWinstonJack]

13. So why did he have a W'06 sticker? That makes no sense, since

W is in power (unless we luck out) til Jan '09? :shrug:

[Sugar Smack]

18. The purple tongue brigade is taking a lot of casualties these days

Another couple of months and you won't be able to find more than a handful of bushsuckers left who will admit they voted for the punk.

[converted_democrat]

19. Good story... Good to know that people are waking up..n/t

[cascadiance]

20. Hand him another sticker to replace his W sticker with...

If you have someone on your passenger side, hand him an "Impeach Bush" sticker or the like to replace his W sticker then... That would help him take the first step towards returning to reality!

[BrklynLiberal]

21. Great story. Also love that Kool-aid/Pickles image!!!

[BigBearJohn]

22. That's why Republicans have flat foreheads and round shoulders (more)

You ask 'em why they voted for * and they shrug their shoulders.
You remind 'em how stupid they were and then they slap their foreheads.

[bigwillq]

23. Thanks for sharing this srtory.

What a dumbass that guy was.

Good job on your part. :hi:

[stevedeshazer]

24. Beautiful, man

There's a very large contingent of guys like that who are dope-slapping themselves right now. I talk to them every day on my job.

Nice work.

25. "I voted for Bush and I regret it."
