Please wipe the Santorum off your car. [More:]Right now, one of the things that sucks about living where I do is the large quantity of Santorum bumperstickers I encounter every day. At first, it's amusing, the thought that the uptight lady in the minivan is unknowingly sporting the equivalent of Shit Jizz! on the rear of her car. But then you realize, my god, not only does the person in that car plan on voting for that hate-filled asshole, they are advocating that other people do so, too. And then I want to rearend them.

But I don't.

Because their rear is covered in Santorum.
I should counter by saying that the best thing about being a PA citizen is the availability of Turkey Hill's Tastykake ice cream. It has the power to cure things. It's that good.

Brings new meaning to that old song, "I'm gonna wash that man right outta my hair."

I agree, and I also think bumper stickers should have an expiration date. I can't stand seeing the ones that should have been removed 2 elections ago. I want to go around and scrape off every old, out-dated bumper sticker I see.

Since you are in PA, please have a cheese steak and a BIRCH BEER for me, and some Tastykakes... Oh please, eat some Tastys for me, I'm dying out here!!! And then could you please take a drive around the Poconos one weekend on a fall foliage tour secretly removing people's bumper stickers when they aren't looking?

I'm eating that ice cream right now, GOML. It's genius. I'd mail some to you if I could!

Guilty! I'm one of those folks. I stand with the thousands who have yet to remove the Kerry-Edwards sticker from their cars. It's quite a phenomenon. I wish I knew of a discussion board or something where we could talk about it. Every day that passes I enjoy it more.

I've never even owned a car for more than one presidential election cycle. Not that I'd mar one of my vehicles with an adhesive banner.

Every car I've ever owned has been pre-marred. The current one came with stickers advertising Hendrix College, the state of Arkansas and a now-defunct video store (motto: Our movies don't suck!)

I kept my great-aunt's stickers when I inherited her car, but they're not bumper stickers, just discreet little window tags supporting various local wildlife organizations.

I did take off her obnoxious AAA "Buckle Up!" on the dashboard, because of course I always do anyway and I found it was making me want not to comply.

Too bad extraugly doesn't sell bumperstickers. ;-)

I wish, brujita! I'd buy a case and run amok in the WalMart parking lot!

I don't mind seeing the old Kerry stickers. Every time I see one I think, "I know, brother. That wish was once mine, too." Then I get all wistful

I saw a car a few weeks ago that still had a ROLE/HEMP bumpersticker.
