Coming soon to an Los Angeles freeway ...... my new bumper sticker!


I can't locate a place to get an offical Lamont sticker ..... so I figured this one will be just fine.

1. Uh, no offense, but I really wish people (especially people who ARE
on the left) would stop REINFORCING the meme that "left" = weirdo. It's not really acting in the left's "best interest" methinks.

I don't care for the bumper sticker. Perhaps something else would be better?

Peace,
M_Y_H

4. I think it's great!
The fact that "left wing weirdo" is in quotes, turns the phrase on its head and perfectly points out the stupidity of the phrase.

5. Thank YOU
My god, I feel like a kid in school getting my hand slapped by the nuns.

I opted for this one because they were out of "Cock sucking homo for Lamont". :sarcasm:

8. Hey, I'm in San Ferancisco....
"Cock sucking homo for Lamont" would probably fly! :P

I think my 73 year old, grey haired Mom needs that bumper sticker! She's an old school liberal who's viewed as a "left wing weirdo" up in very red Lake Tahoe.

BWT, grok the nun-spanking feeling. Twelve years of Catholic school, here. Nuns. Paddles. Rulers. Knuckles. Whack. Nightmares... :scared:

13. I'm a former Castro queen m'self.
That would probably fly were in WeHo as well. But then again must of these guys wouldn't have a clue Lamont is anyway.

10. Yes, it does....but remember there's a lot of people out there
that just aren't that bright and will not see the "quotes" or realize that they "turn the phrase on it's head". They're just gonna see "Left wing = weirdo". People on the left aren't weirdos, so I don't like it.

My 2 cents and I will leave it at that.

Again, Peace....

15. Well considering all my other bumper stickers ...
they'll "get it". If not they have no business operating a motor vehicle in the first place and drive off the road into a ditch trying to figure it out.

23. Yep. Not much different than Lieberman ...
... saying that the "left wing is taking over, the antisecurity wing."

It's tough to get a concise message onto a bumper sticker, but reinforcing Right Wing talking points is among the last thing we want to do.

How about... "Security thru Intelligence"

2. here's where you can get the actual Lamont bumper sticker
http://www.cafepress.com/irregularstates.44504758

Please don't reinforce calling Dems "Weirdos".

I want my country back. I am not a weirdo.

Thanks

17. I think that telling people what bumper stickers
They can and cannot put on their cars is weird.

22. What are you talking about?
Haven't told, directed or otherwise dictated to anyone what bumper stickers they can or cannot put on their cars. I asked nicely to not reinforce the name-calling of Dems; My opinion and why it bothers me.

Please, I would like to suggest that someone get a grip.

6. How about...
Another Lifelong Democrat
or
Another Mainstream (or Liberal, Progressive, or Centrist) Democrat
or
Another Patriotic American ???

Don't care for the "left-wing weirdo" label either.

12. It's ironic...I've always said one of the biggest problems with our....
party...is we lack a sense of humor.

I don't find it a laugh riot. But I certainly don't see anything wrong with it. I kind of see it like that picture of Johnny Cash...flying the bird right into the camera.

Go for it.

I'm surprised at some of the straight laced, old biddy responses you got on your humorous sticker.
