8. I don't like it
It implies that if they scared me enough, I'd have to -- or want to -- vote Republican.

I think something like "I'm Too Scared to Vote Republican" is more fitting.

9. No, they rule by fear. We can counter that
Also, this cuts into the 'repubs are strong on defense' BS that they spread

Repubs are too WEAK to defeat terrorists without changing America.

10. "I'm not scared enough..."
Implies that if you scare me more, than I would be scared enough to vote Republican. It plays right into their rule by fear tactics.

12. That's How I Read It
It seems like a rationale for ratcheting up the terror threats in an attempt to scare me a little more. Something like 'You Can't Scare Me Enough To Vote Republican' seems to be a better message.

19. It is better, much more blunt.
And you have to be blunt to reach the target audience. :)

20. Right, but the word 'chickenshit' can get you in trouble in some
places if you put it on your car.

Local obscenity laws in small towns could get ya some police interest.

Why would you want to tell the world you are scared? Why would you want to promote that about yourself?

11. I LOVE the way it undercuts right-wing machismo...
...by implying that Republicans appeal to cowardly little wussbags. :thumbsup:

22. Second your opinion
and we need to see more of this attitude.
Fear is how fascists rule. Scare the easily manipulated and they'll follow on your leash.
This bumpersticker is perfect.

13. This is great.
I think that this is THE message for us: we're onto them, and the fear tactics aren't going to work any more. I think that quite a few repugs might wake up when they realize how badly they are being played.

A similar idea:

"Vote your hope, not your fear. Vote Democratic".

14. I'm glad some of you get it.
It is mostly aimed at the insecure 'macho' male that the Republicans make think they are 'tough'

This cuts right through that crap.

16. Love It - I ordered 2 - 1 for me and 1 for a local liberal
talk host who got her car keyed yesterday (for 2nd time) cause of her political stickers. W with slash and I guess a couple of others. If nothing else I hope she puts it up in her studio.

25. I'm not Cowardly enough to vote Republican!
That'll make the poor wretches smolder.

And then they will sneak out and key your car when you are not looking.
