What should I do?
I’ve never been a bumper sticker kind of guy, but when I started my blog, I had a sticker made that advertised the site. Once I put that on my car, that opened the floodgates, and now I have affixed several more bumper stickers, all of which have been either picked up at various meetings or mailed to me by advocacy groups.

Well, I just got another one in the mail. But I’m of mixed mind as to whether or not to put it on my car. As you can see, there’s still plenty of real estate on my bumper for more stickers.
Barack Obama sent me a bumper sticker promoting his 2012 campaign. Given the field of Republican miscreants and the GOP’s anti-people platform, I’m sure I will vote for Obama next year. But I’m very upset with his performance - his handling of the detention and trials of the 9/11 suspects, his throwing single-payer under the bus before negotiations on health care even started, his eagerness to engage in a third war of choice, the snail’s pace of reversing the Bush attack on gay rights, his acquiescence to continuing the tax cuts for the wealthy to name a few.
Does affixing an Obama 2012 sign to my car indicate that I am happy with the president’s agenda? Or does it just say, “vote for the lesser of two evils?”
What do you think I should do?
Well, if you post it upside down as a distress signal, that will surely be misinterpreted.

ReplyDeleteI like Rosi's idea as it certainly sends a message, even if a subtle one. I'm a car purist though: no adhesive bumper stickers for me, only easily-removed magnetic ones. I had an Obama '08 magnetic one that promptly got thrown in the trash when he picked Rick Warren for his inaugural invocation, leaving only my LIVESTRONG and gay pride magnets.
ReplyDeleteAegletes: Yeah, I would prefer magnetic ones, but they don't stick too well to my plastic bumper :)
ReplyDeletePlastic, painted bumpers may be the dumbest new thing for cars since pointy steering wheel columns.
ReplyDeletePersonally I love to advertise something with bumper stickers as they can do wonder for this purpose and make people know about your product with every round in the market, vinyl bumper stickers gives you long lasting results for outdoor marketing.
ReplyDeleteHey, how do I get a deciminyan bumper sticker?
ReplyDeleteDuke - I gave my last one to Rosi. I'll have some more made up and send you one.
