This just made my day....

[madmom]

was in town and decided to gas up before coming home, so I was there waiting my turn and the guy in front of me, while waiting for his tank to fill up was going around pulling and scraping W stickers off his car. There must have been 4 or 5 in the window, on the bumper, etc. I felt like applauding but I kept my cool and let him bask in his own humility.

1. I wish I had been with you: I carry my digital camera with me-

it is always in my pocketbook

That would have made a helluva picture

[madmom]

3. that would have been so cool..n/t

[CottonBear]

2. Great news! You played it cool. Good for you. n/t

[TomPainesBones]

4. Very cool

I would have applauded though.

Anyone doing something like that in such a public place was clearly looking for attention.

[Laelth]

24. Not just attention ...

... but validation. I would have applauded just to let the guy know that there are a lot of decent, intelligent people who agree with him that Bush sux.

6. I'd have sweetly offered to help him.

;)

Thanks for that uplifting tidbit!

[SpiralHawk]

7. .I would just politely have asked him WHY?

What's goin down in your psyche?

[DS1]

12. I'd have asked him why

to get further data on what wedge-issues exist with Bush voters

[CrispyQ]

8. ~~smile -- great idea!

:toast:

[whatever4]

9. Wow, so he made a point of doing that in public at the gas station

"while waiting for his tank to fill up"

That's really saying something isn't it. As if he wanted to advertise that he did support them, but not now, to a crowd. Wow. Thanks for sharing that.

10. He was probably mad about the Mier nomination

The right wing is in up in arms about the Mier nomination. Plus, I doubt if he was real trilled about gas prices. Seems like Bush is losing his base. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

[0rganism]

11. Prime opportunity to accuse him of "hating America"

Jump out of the car, yell, "Why do you hate America, you communist terrorist liberal democrat? Supporting the troops means supporting the president!" Then climb back in, roll up the windows, lock the doors, and watch the fun.

13. recommended

[fooj]

14. Recommended!

Hell, I'll take all the good news I can get! Thanks for sharing!

peace.

15. The wierd thing to me is

Gas prices is what made this guy mad. If gas didn't go up he'd proudly be touting those stickers around town probably.

[NJCher]

27. ex-act-ly, rniel

That's what made my repuke father turn on bush. He found out construction materials had escalated and when he asked why, was told that the materials were in demand in Iraq and as soon as we built a structure, the "insurgents" would blow it up.

These people only understand one thing: their own pocketbook.

Comprehending the collective good is way, way beyond them.

16. Maybe he just bought the car.

I once had to scrap Nixon bumper stickers off a car I bought. In the 80's! :eyes:

Still... it's one less car supporting the pResident driving around town! :thumbsup:

[CitySky]

18. yah, that's what I was thinking

maybe he bought it from a Republican who couldn't afford to keep gas in it any more.

[meganmonkey]

17. That's the opposite of what I saw today...I was laughing so hard I almost

had to pull over. I passed a semi on the highway with block letters on the back saying

GET RID OF THE LIARS - VOTE REPUBLICAN

I swear to god that's what it said. I was in hysterics, and for a minute I thought it was a joke until I saw the driver's face in his side mirror glaring at me, with my peace sign stickers on every side of my car.

:rofl:

[SharonRB]

21. I wonder how old that sign was.

[Peace Patriot]

19. Now restore that man's right to vote! He gets it!

(Throw Diebold and ES&S election theft machines into 'Boston Harbor'!)

[Dem Agog]

20. Only Bush sticker I saw in this red state on my way home...

Was on the back of a Chevy Nova!

I wanted to pull up and yell, 'Hey FUCKTARD you're clearly too poor to be part of his base!"

What an idiot.

[bigwillq]

22. YIPPEE!

That's a great story! Made my day too!:hi:

[HughMoran]

23. Nice story!

:hi:

and madmom, you are getting close to your 1000th post :)

[DIKB]

25. That is awesome

I would LOVE to have watched that scene. Now I wanna hang around gas stations in case it happens here. Gas is sitting at about $3 right now.

[proud2BlibKansan]

26. Give him one of these
