Howie Carr: Time to Scrape off
The Boston Herald ^ | 12/08/04 | Howie Carr

Posted on 12/08/2004 9:52:54 AM PST by raccoonradio

Memo to John Kerry voters:

It's time to peel those Kerry bumper stickers off the backs of your Volvos. It's also time for you - or your butler - to take down the campaign yard signs from in front of your mansions.

What part of ``It's over, you lost!'' do you pukes not understand?

Around here, before Nov. 2, Kerry signs outnumbered Bush signs by a 10-1 margin. It's been five weeks since Kerry did a Dukakis, and now the ratio is maybe 20-1. Carpenters for Kerry, Firefighters for Kerry, Featherbedding Pinky Ring Union Thugs for Kerry . . .

Of course, Bush voters had good reason to get rid of their bumper stickers. It reduced the chances of having their vehicles keyed in a parking lot by a Featherbedding Pinky Ring Union Thug for Kerry.

I saw two loser Kerry stickers yesterday on a blue Chevy - amazing, isn't it, that a Kerry voter would be caught dead in such an unfashionable Detroit car? The sticker on top was your basic ``John Kerry,'' and the bottom one said ``Kerry Edwards,'' with an American flag between the names. And above that, in italics:

``It's Up to Women . . . Vote!''

And so they did. For George Bush.

But traditional bumper-sticker etiquette requires that if you were right and everyone else was wrong, then you wait a few months before you print up some new bumper stickers. In 1972, Massachusetts was the only state to vote against Richard Nixon. Then Watergate blew up. Anyone remember those famous 1973-74 bumper stickers:

``Don't Blame Me, I'm from Massachusetts.''

All these years you limousine liberals got by establishing your Beautiful People credentials with a simple oval sticker on the back windshield that said MV, as in Martha's Vineyard. You exhorted everyone to Redefeat Bush. You asked your fellow motorists to Visualize World Peace and to Think Globally, Act Locally.

But suddenly, those traditional ways of announcing ``I Don't Have a Real Job'' aren't good enough anymore.

For God's sake, exit stage left. Move on (to coin a phrase). Surely there's some other way you can express your disgust. Find a Christmas tree on public property and then call the ACLU. Have an abortion. Get Michael Moore's autograph.

But lose the bumper sticker that says ``A Stronger America.''

I saw another one yesterday. Next to the Kerry sticker was a purple one that said, ``Pro-Family. Pro-Faith. Pro-Choice.''

Now that's Pro-Found.

Apparently this phenomenon spans all of blue-state America. A couple of days ago, the Minneapolis paper found a bunch of whack jobs who refuse to remove their Kerry yard signs. One was identified as ``a pet nanny,'' another as a ``filmmaker,'' and a third as a ``peace activist.''

Of course, these are, no doubt, some of the same people who think that Paul Wellstone was murdered. But still, they got beat fair and square, by 4 million votes. Why can't they get over it?

You'd think George Bush was planning to tax the municipal bonds in their trust funds. It's not like he's filing legislation to stop their worthless left-wing punk offspring from going to Harvard as unqualified ``legacies.''

Listen, you rich dilettantes for Kerry. If you really want to make a statement, why don't you use your Lexus' bumper to come out against the monopoly that left-wing Democrats have in our congressional delegation.

I've got the perfect statement for your bumper:

``Don't Blame Me, I Voted for Jack E. Robinson.'' (a man who ran against Kerry on a sticker campaign)

It's amazing: listen to Boston talk stations WRKO (John
DePetro, Howie Carr) and WTKK (Jay Severin) and hear all the conservative calls...you'd think we'd be a red state for sure. Then see who won BIG on Nov 2 here. Yeesh.
(And all 10 reps and both senators are Democrats. So are most state legislators. Amazingly, a Republican governor
though some may consider him a RINO, Mitt Romney...)

Still, many more people voted for Bush this time around
compared to 2000, here in Kennedy-Kerry country.

Heard on Howie Carr show yesterday: A caller told of a painter whose signs also include a "W" with a slash through it, with the words "Not My President" next to it.

"He's gonna lose a good 40 to 50 per cent of his business with that," the caller said. "All I can say is,
Not My Painter." :)

I'm in western MA and we don't have that problem here.

I got a Reublican state Rep. and state Senator. Bush won the town next to me. Kerry has never been spotted west of the Connecticut River.

My W'04 sticker is still on my windshield... right next to my NRA sticker. IMO, if only western MA voted... Kerry would have won by only a couple of points.

One boob in my extended neighborhood still has his Kerry-Edwards sign proudly displayed in front of his house. Instead of being out in the yard, the sign is standing in the bushes, as if it's intended to be a permanent decoration.

Meanwhile, I'm glad to report that I unloaded a used car on him last weekend. Always happy to separate a liberal fool from his money.

Western Mass may as well be another state. I grew up inside of 128, and didn't really believe anything existed beyond 128 until I was in my 20's. Escaped the liberal cesspool 4 years ago.......

It sure is. But it's pretty invigorating to go on the train with my Walkman on, BUSH sticker pasted in full view of all the sourpusses.

It's also time to take the Democrat National Convention sign down from the Fleet Center. Damn, they're going to take the Fleet Center sign down first!

Back in 1994, I got an unwarranted speeding ticket in Watertown (Boston), and I noticed the state trooper was scowling at my bumper sticker as he approached the car.

It was a bright red "Clinton" sticker with the "C" rendered as a yellow hammer and sickle.

BTW, I fought the ticket on the merits, down to 1/2 the fine and no points.

I think I see more of them now than before Nov 3. Either people are trying to be defiant or they are buying into the loony election-was-stolen theories. I often burst into laughter when I see them. I wonder if I should put a Bush-Cheney sticker on my car now, after the fact just to protest all these sore losers.

A liberal friend of mine had a Mondale/Ferraro bumper sticker afixed for so long that it literally rusted off the bumper. I would presume his Kerry/Edwards sticker will meet a similar fate.
