Jen in Concord, Massachusetts is pretty sure she has a Romney supporter to thank for the friendly note left on her car during a recent trip to Target.
“Fortunately,” she says, “the Obama sticker (which is actually a magnet and very easily removed) was left intact, as was the Darwin fish.”
UPDATE: Closer to the election, Samantha was surprised to find a similar (copycat?) note on her car in the President’s hometown of Chicago.

Good thing this was an anonymous Post-It Note, since I wouldn’t want the concerned Republican to own up to being an idiot.

Better than the asshole who keyed my mom’s car for having a McCain bumper sticker. :/

Better than the asshole who tail gaited me on the freeway for three miles then followed me as I exited, sped up and passed me on the right to get in front of me so that he could do a lame anti-Obama pantomime that consisted of him using both hands to form an “O” then flashing a thumbs down.

I personally like to key “I have been politically swayed!” under the bumper sticker. Then I draw happy little stick figure penises on the happy little stick figure family members/pets and shove a potato up the tailpipe.

Bumper stickers, by their nature, beg for a reaction. You put a political (or religious, or other) message in a public place, which elicits a reaction from someone who does not agree, and in this case they responded publicly.
Not sure I see the problem here… hmm.

Nice Darwinism! Shame about the Douchey car though…

I generally hate most bumper stickers. Especially if it is anything that could be considered a hot topic. Why give someone from the opposing side an excuse to murder you via road rage?

I love political bumper stickers. I love it when they get all sad and faded and the person is embarrassed of ever having them (no particular party in mind here, seriously, it’s funny across the board)–and then they try to scrape them off and get just half of it. Then they have a 4-year-old, faded, sad, half-removed sticker. Pretty much sums up their shame and broken dreams.

The only political bumper sticker I ever thought was worth the bumper space read “Somewhere in Texas, a village is missing its idiot.”

My Flying Spaghetti Monster magnet fell off. I miss it.

(It became a magnet when i glued magnets to it after it fell of the first time)

The only sticker you need:
“Bumper Stickers are an ineffectual means of communicating my nuanced views on a variety of issues that cannot be reduced to a simple pithy slogan.”
You can buy it from Wondermark. Seriously.

I’m curious about Romney supporters in Massachusetts. Obama currently has about a 20 point lead in the state- are there really people who think Romeny has a chance there?

I don’t care for political bumper stickers/magnets, but I have a daschund and I adore my “I love my weiner” magnet.

I want a Darwin Fish on my car (when I can afford a car, of course), but here in Kentucky, I assume I’ll quickly be keyed or get flat tires or something fun like that.

This note, if sincere, was probably left by a “libertarian”, who saw the Darwin fish and thought “All atheists, skeptics, and rational thinkers are conservative like me! Those can’t go together.”

Putting a bumper sticker on your car basically invites people to tellgate you. It’s not their fault, they’re trying to read your sticker.
The only one I would even consider having on my car says “If your beliefs fit on a bumper sticker, think harder”.

I have three bumper stickers – one is a magnet for work and allows me to park in the employee parking without getting towed (but it looks totally unlike a bland ol’ sticker – it’s a cute cupcake!). Another is for my home state of Hawaii. The last one is my friend’s company. If someone wants to think of me a douche for having them, then frankly, I don’t care. It’s my car. That’s why I put stickers pertaining to ME on my car.

I agree that the family ones are stupid, but also high up on the list are the baby on board and frangipanis.

I think it’s funny that people actually support Obama even though he’s clearly been corrupt, misleading, and out of touch with Americans. Romney isn’t much better. He’s a piece of crap just like his opponent. I wish he would just drop out and go join a polygamist sect, but then there would be no opponent to the worthless money spending machine and the babbling retard we’ve got in office now. This country is in so much trouble…

It’s the definition of retard, Ruth. I tried to get the picture of you that was next to it but it wouldn’t let me put it in a comment.

For 16 years, I drove a red pickup with pro-gay stickers on the back. (I’m straight, but was on the board of directors for PFLAG and have worked for a long time for human and civil rights for GLBT folks.)
It had the stickers because we used it in the Twin Cities’ HUGE gay pride parade, to give a ride to disabled people in our group.
I nearly got run off the road by some hicks, and a cop pulled me over just b/c of the gay stickers on the back.
When my truck finally died and my mom wanted a new vehicle, she gave me her newish car (thanks, mom!). A beige four-door Camry.
I love love love being anonymous on the road.

Best bumper sticker ever was those stupid little stick figures of dad, mom, their 2.3 kids, dog, cat, goldfish, etc. It was the international symbol for “no” (red circle with a slash through it) that made us follow the man off the interstate so we could get a picture of it.

The note is hilarious no matter what your personal political beliefs are. Some people just need to lighten up.

Anyone bother to notice the car dealership that is getting some free advertising here? (I wonder, though, if they would appreciate being the bun in this political sloppy joe.)

The Darwin magnet doesn’t make you look like an idiot. The Obama magnet, on the other hand, makes you look like a complete ignoramus or, at best, another leech on society. It’s hard to imagine anyone still supporting that douchebag.

I’m going to buy post it notes tomorrow! I may even pay for a stamp that says the same! I’d buy a bumper sticker, but that is soooo Democrat!

Does anybody else get a cheesed as I do over the iconic “Why Be Normal?” stickers that are attached in the “normal” (in the engineering sense) orientation? I’m willing to concede the orthodoxy of attaching it so that the adhesive is in full contact with the mounting surface, as practicality dictates, but I can’t believe that *everyone* who places one so that the text can be read conventionally does so out of a sense of irony. I’ve only ever seen one that was placed differently (it was rotated just short of 90 degrees clockwise). My first thought was “finally, someone gets it!”
