Is anyone seeing ANY Mitt yard signs and bumper stickers?

I'm right smack in the middle of red-state hell and all I'm seeing is Obama signs and bumper stickers. I have seen NO Mitt stuff. Zero.

That has to be good news.

Every election they do this, they think that bumperstickers and yardsigns will predict the outcome of the election.  :whatever:

13. It's not too early for Obama supporters. That's why this has me so excited.

We have the fire, and the GOP is depressed.

And when 0bama is kicked out they will be in a state of complete shock.

You mean they don't?  Next thing you'll be saying is that exit polls don't accurately reflect voter turnout. :bawl:

I think TIA's entire schtick was based on voter turnout.  It was always fun to watch him be wrong time and time again.

 The DUmmies are seeing these on cars and not paying attention.

Umm, I don't have a sign yet because Mitt doesn't have a running mate.

I'm thinking about getting a yard sign. Now before anyone gets their panties in a twist, I'm just thinking about it. It might say DON'T RENIG. would that be wrong ?
Full disclosure, that word will be included on my list of banned words that may offend someone somewhere sometime.

Yes it would be wrong, just buy the Romney/Rubio signs and put that up.

No and it doesn't bother me one way or another.  It's not the candidate with the most bumper stickers/yard signs who will win anyway.

I did have to cut off someone with an Obama 2012 sticker this morning.  That bitch would not hang up and drive and was driving way under the speed limit.  I hope she enjoyed my "Rush Babe on Board" sign.  That way she knows a right wing extremist terrorized her.

I want to order 1 of the Rush t-shirts, you get a free bumper sticker with every t-shirt order.

Make sure it's a magnetic one if you don't want the sticker on your paint.  I bought my sign about a week before Rush announced his t-shirt deal.

Well DUmmies I guess since the GOP convention isn't till August they are waiting until the nomination is official and a running mate is declared. Not all of us can be campaigning for 5 years straight like chairman O.

I cut her off by Wayne Newton's house too.  That could be a nice bouncy.

OH, and why does the Obama sticker only have his name on it with 2012?  Why not Obama/Biden?  Does Obama not want to claim old Biden this time around?

Well I'm in red state hell, and I've seen zero signs or stickers for either Mitt or the muslim.

They are as rare as Steve Dawes yard signs.

Still see "W - Still The President" stickers, though, a few even on new cars.

I saw something on the news the other day that was saying that Obama is considering dropping Biden this time and making Hillary his running mate. Whether that will happen or not, I don't know. Especially with how much she hates him.

It won't happen.  The American Narcissus President Obama would have to admit that he needs help--the help that only Bill and Hillary Clinton can provide.   He still thinks that he's going to win, and by a landslide, without their help.  So, Slow Joe Biden will remain on the ticket.

Most of my neighbors wouldn't care, but unfortunately I'd be opening myself up to vandalism or worse.  My backyard is adjacent to a union hall.

He is quite an egomaniac isn't he? I can't wait to see the look on his face when he loses.

Lord help us if Biden is ever made President. He has said that he planning on running in 2016. I wonder how that will turn out.

Please specify which yard sign this refers to. If it's the proposed yardsign I'm thinking of getting, I will need to keep stats on that , for posterity.

I'm with ya. I don't do stickers, stick-figure families, magnetic ribbons, or suction cup things. Other than a handful of napkins I keep in the cargo net thing between the driver and passenger seats, there is very little in the way of any sort of 'stuff' in the vehicle.

a) Tire inflater.
b) Umbrella.
c) Raincoat.
d) Magnetic US Mail sign.
e) Magnetic orange hazard strobe.
f) One 'Pinky' Ball.

There are a few other things, Spare fuses, headlamps, cleaning wipes, tire plugs, and one air freshener - but they are all in the glovebox or the drawer under the passenger seat.

I keep the napkins nearby to use as tissues, or (since I have this thing about touching food) they are to wrap whatever I may be eating.

You're right. Thats under the driver's seat. I should go through it. I suspect the band-aids need replacing - dried out over years of sitting in a box during hot summers in a locked car.

Naaa - federal facilities have a problem with that. I can't even bring it into the parking lot. Same is true with alcohol. Once I'm on postal property, their laws supersede whatever the state may allow.

True. Not a lot you can do about that.
Not right.

It may not be right - but it is what it is. And since the post office had an image problem in the '80s and '90s with workplace violence ( "Going Postal" ) they have vigorously enforced it at every opportunity.

For the curious - here is the law itself.

Quote
39 CFR 232.1
 Title 39 - Postal Service
 Chapter I - United States Postal Service
 Subchapter D - Organization and Administration
 Part 232 - Conduct on Postal Property
 232.1 - Conduct on Postal Property.

Paragraph L

 (l) Weapons and explosives. No person while on postal property may carry firearms, other dangerous or deadly weapons, or explosives, either openly or concealed, or store the same on postal property, except for official purposes.

BTW - 'Official purposes' essentially means the Postal Inspectors are exempted. Which is sensible. They are our MPs & CID. They don't just go after civilian mail fraud.

I'm just thankful that the regulation makes malcontents stop and put there firearms away.

That sucks.

We are only stopped from leaving weapons in our cars if it's a gated/secured parking lot.  There's a sign on my office building that says no weapons, alcohol, etc beyond a certain point but it's not prohibited outdoors.  There is always a lot of gun talk in the breakroom depending what time of day you go in there.

Indeed -

I see them everywhere. If Bumper stickers are indicative of elections, Ron Paul not only wins the Republican nomination, he wins the Democratic one as well.
