If I can read your Kerry sticker, you're too close
Boston Herald ^ | Wednesday, June 1, 2005 | Howie Carr

I have tried to reason politely with you John Kerry voters, but you just don't seem to take the hint. So let me put it a different way:

GET THE DAMN KERRY BUMPER STICKERS OFF YOUR CARS!! YOU LOST!! IT'S OVER!!!

Let's have some ``closure'' here. Moveon.org. Get over it. What part of ``four million vote deficit'' do you not understand? It doesn't matter what Keith Olbermann thinks, you lost Ohio. Even Michael Moore conceded months ago.

I attempted to discuss this with you Birkenstock-wearing, ACLU-card-carrying, NPR-listening goateed sore losers six weeks after the election. But if anything, I see more Kerry bumper stickers now than I did then. Look, if there's some kind of social cachet involved in this phenomenon, why don't you come up with a modern variation on what McGovern voters from Massachusetts put on their cars in 1973:

``Don't Blame Me, I Voted for the Gigolo.''

Or maybe you could look ahead: ``Hillary in '08.''

Or perhaps you could even, to coin a phrase, think globally while acting locally: ``Deval in '06.''

Can't you people find something new to get your panties all bunched up over? Surely there's a tablet of Ten Commandments somewhere that the ACLU hasn't filed suit against. Can't you find a third-grade class in some remote public school and get an injunction to stop the kids from reciting the Pledge of Allegiance? And it's never too early to start making plans to picket a Christmas tree in December.

Why not organize a Prop 2 1/2 override to jack up the property taxes so high that everyone in your town who doesn't have a trust fund - Bush voters, in other words - will be forced to sell and move to some yucky red state?

I've even got a replacement bumper sticker for the back of your Lexus SUV. State Sen. Jarrett Barrios is running for Middlesex County district attorney. He's gay, and he's from Cambridge - what more do you need to know?

But no, you can't bring yourself to peel off the Kerry sticker, can you? It was seven months since he took that brutal stomping, but you still adore him. After all, he was so much like you.

Never had a real job. Lives off other people's municipal bonds. Loves those geeky rich-Yankee sports like windsurfing. Talks down to the help, asking, ``Do you know who I am?'' Thinks Garrison Keillor is a genius.

Living here in the People's Republic of Massachusetts, it is impossible to see fewer than a dozen vehicles a day festooned with stickers saying ``Re-defeat Bush'' or demanding ``A Stronger America'' (whatever those slogans mean, or meant).

Last week, in the Pru tunnel, I found myself trapped in stop-and-go traffic behind just such a bleepbox car, a '90 Corolla. On the left side was the traditional Kerry-Edwards, and on the other a matching sticker that said, ``The driver of this car climbed Mount Washington.''

In other words, not only is he morally superior to everyone else, he is also more physically fit. And above, on the back windshield, there was a sticker for an Ivy League school: Brown University.

It is at moments like this that I wish I had a loudspeaker attached to the roof of my car, so I could have heckled the rich kid for Kerry:

``Hey Chauncey, if you're so bleepin' smart, how come you don't have enough money to buy yourself a new car?''

But what does Chauncey care? He's one of the Beautiful People. He has the trust fund, and the Kerry-Edwards bumper sticker, to prove it.

It's been my observation that the union guys who built the Big Leak are switching to the "pround to be union" stickers while the teacher-city hacks still are under the ether.

Liberalism truely is a mental condition

Well, that's appropriate!

I saw a Hillary '08 bumper sticker in southern NH a couple of months ago already...

They don't want to pollute the environment with the dab of gasoline needed to get the residue off.

It could always be worse.

You could be driving behind someone whose car sports a Kerry AND Kucinich bumper sticker.

(Prolonged eye roll.)

The sad fact is most of these dummies truly believe that Bush had a'' secret computer'' under his bed election night and Karl Rove was manipulating votes from it, while he and Bush were watching the numbers on tv seeing where they needed to add more votes. THIS IS NO LIE! I've talked to people that truly believe this. Its scary. And I can't figure out if its denial they're in ,or arrogance thinking nobody, NOBODY .would ever vote for Bush because the whole world agrees with us. Its very frightening!

I bought a sports car in March from someone who had a Kucinich bumper sticker on it. I peeled it off in front of the person I bought it from and told him the car wouldn't need it anymore....

I always like seeing those liberals' POS cars (like in your picture). The owners may whine about emissions and "Kyoto", but their cars are badly out of tune and belch smoke.

I walked past a car today that was just covered with Kerry, Code Pink and stickers with cute little 'shrub' sayings (these folks are just so darned clever). I mean just covered. You could hardly see the paint job. Makes you wonder what kind of freak would drive something like that to work.

I would wonder what kind of job the freak has, but I was walking in the University District in Seattle. I know what kind of job they have. Probably a prof.

I know what you mean about these kinds of people; I've encountered them, I've spoken with them. The first few months after the election I was very upset and disturbed by their attitude, but now I don't care anymore to the point where I won't even bother to (try to) correct them, it's all a big bore to me now. Let them think what they have to, what they need to. Nothing will change their minds.

Howie speaks the truth. I see tons of Kerry bumperstickers around here (Massachusetts) and I must say, it makes me smile. I never had bumper stickers until recently, and I have a W sticker, one showing the WTC with NYPD and NYFD symbols, and a simple Pro-Life sticker. Fortunately I can kick the butts of any dozen liberal worms, so I get a great amount of pleasure knowing how insane seeing my car makes the local loons, while seeing Kerry stickers gives me a weird jolt of pleasure.
