DONT BLAME ME, I VOTED FOR MCAIN!
I would love to give that bumper sticker to everyone who voted for McCain!

In 4 years when the nation has averted disaster and things are on the upswing again, we can all laugh at them.

1. I saw one yesterday that said "1/20/2009, the beginning of an error"
These morans really need to get a brain!

2. I don't take to kindly to criticism of a sitting president
This nation is at war.

10. But that only applies to presidents who are white, Republican, and have WASPy names

12. Maybe I'll tell that to the moran who says, "President Ugumba," all the time.
I really hate it. I have to work next to the guy, so all I do is ignore him. He's the one with fifteen American flags in his cube, yet he drives a Japanese car. The one who says that we have to respect the President, then pulls this carp. Sometimes I just want to go upside his head with a 2x4, I swear!

3. I have to say I saw similar stickers going the other way eight years ago
I do believe we've reached a permanent state of polarization in politics.

Maybe it's just because people will talk about it more, and we have more sources of information than three news organizations on TV and a small handful of magazines that discuss politics, but I see way more polarization in the United States than I saw forty years ago. I don't remember Nixon coming into office with as much rancor directed against him as any of the last three or four occupants of the White House have had directed against them right from the get-go.

The so-called "honeymoon" period for Presidents is quite probably a thing of the past, a quaint notion that for better or worse, our society seems to have outgrown.

4. I understand that there have been such stickers for a long time
I was told that when Reagan beat Mondale, there were people with stickers saying "Don't blame me, I'm from Minnesota". In the 1987 British election, the only Tory to lose his seat in the south of England was the one from the Oxford East constituency. I suggested that someone should make stickers saying "Don't blame me, I'm from East Oxford" but it didn't happen!

11. You're right...
at least about 8 years ago. I wasn't even a twinkly in my parents eye for Nixon.

Im not sure if it is more polarizing, or just society has deteriorated to the point where if you have something to say, you HAVE to say it otherwise you are weak. I think I society has grown more confrontational in my lifetime, so that drives at it too.

It's kinda ironic when you think about it, because there aren't enormous changes between the two.

5. I was wondering when those would start showing up...
It was the same during the Clinton days. And, I will ask them now, as I did then, "Blame you for what? Peace and prosperity?"

6. My favorite stickers were the ones that popped up around 9/12/2001
"I'm So Glad I Voted For Bush" - Yeah, the guy who let that happen. Idiots.

13. I saw one the other day
that just took me by total surprise. It said:

"Don't blame me - I didn't vote for socialism". Then it had Obama's logo with the red strike through.

I was really taken aback - stunned, actually. It upset me greatly.
