No, but his sex life will improve... assuming that he's an open minded fellow who doesn't mind being called "Sharlene".

South Tampa, Florida - On Tuesday evening, Michelle Fernandez was driving down Armenia in South Tampa with her two children in the car, when another driver tried to run her off the road. The man had a sign over his passenger window that said 'Never forget Bush's illegal oil war murdered thousands in Iraq.'
Fernandez has a Bush/Cheney bumper sticker on her car. Fernandez called police from her cell phone when the driver began yelling, blowing his horn, and following her.
9-1-1 Dispatch
Dispatch: Where are you on Kennedy?
Caller: Right now I'm on Kennedy and Arrawana. Look, he just pulled over next to me, he's stopping the car, it's ridiculous this man! Look he's running after my car, Oh my goodness, he's a fanatic, he's in the middle of the street!
For nine minutes Fernandez stayed on the phone with dispatchers, turning on busy streets, hoping to lose the other driver. The dispatcher heard a horn honking in the background.
Dispatch: Is that him blowing his horn at you?
Caller: No I was blowing my horn at somebody 'cause I'm running stoplights and everything else to get away from him.
Fernandez was finally able to throw the driver off her trail. She ended up going to a near-by little league ball park and waited for police to file a report. They arrested Nathan Winkler at his home. They found the sign in the car.
Joe Durkin, Tampa Police spokesperson
"When we contacted him, his indication to the officers of why he was upset, was because he says 'the victim flipped him off, and that's why I pursued her.' But this is taking political views to an extreme."
Winkler is now charged with aggravated stalking/road rage, which carries a five year sentence.
Your Bumpersticker Isn't a License to SpeakOr maybe, just,
(btw, I think you're an idiot)
Wrong!Or something like that.
I mean, I have to put up with their idiocy, why can't I talk back?
I forgot to clean up my room before I took the picture. :-)

W A N K E R?....W A N K E R? Wasn't that Ted Bundy's stupid hillbilly in-laws name from W A N K E R County?
Yesterday at the dry cleaners a woman walks in carrying a library book and says to me, "I think your bumper stickers are outdated,"
When I asked "why" and stated the Inauguration was barely a month ago she shot back, "your stickers are inappropriate".
I calmly asked if she makes the same statement when she sees people with anti-Bush stickers on the back of their car. She mumbled something and I again asked her, "do you tell people with anti-Bush stickers on their car the same thing."
Her reply, "I don't see those stickers around!"
The owner of the dry cleaner and myself just laughed!
all too true
He should get more than 5 years! He endangered the children's lives! The mother risked her life and her children's lives to get away from this freakin WACKO RAT looney!! Can't wait for the mediaWHORE outlets to report on this outrage...sarcasm/off!
Why didn't you report it immediate to Officers at the mall? They have camera in the parking lot, perhaps the criminal was caught on tape!
I love the idea that stalking can now be legally tied to road rage. I've been witness to it, and the two really can be conceptually joined.
I encountered one of those at a Family Dollar check out.
For no reason I could discern..Well, unless he noticed my bumper stickers when I pulled in..
He went off on me so badly that the girl behind me grabbed her little boy like the guy was gonna go "postal".
Ranting about the "war for oil" and innocents dying and you know,, like he watched Farenhiet 9-1-1 and had a life-changing experience.
Next time I was there I looked up the manager and told him about the tirade. He said I was the third person to complain about the guy.
Haven't seen him around there lately..
Maybe he HAS had a life-changing moment.
oh dont give me that. you were just disguiseing your golf clubs and telling your significant other that you were out on the campaign trail. some will do anything to hit the links.
sad, very sad :-D
I believe a great many of us have paid a number of these "small prices" over the last few decades. Quite a few patriots are in jail, as well for exercising their constitutional rights.
It is time for the Republicans in DC to deliver. They control the Presidency, the House, and the Senate. There is no longer any excuse to keep them from appointing honest judges with integrity to the Supreme Court.
We have paid the price, it is time for the reward.
yes it was and it is still one of the funniest shows ever.
can i get a
WHHHHOOOOOOOO BUNDY!
