HA! awesome. everyone in germany hopes y'all make "the right" decision on november 2nd..

We need Stop - - Cheney, Rumsfeld and Ashcroft signs too!

Is Utah one of those "Swing States"?

We ALL need a new president! If I have to listen to my boyfriend and father tell me what a horrible state our country will be in if Kerry gets elected much longer, there is a possibility I might stab one of them in the eye with a rusty fork.

I, too, have voted - and the anticipation is killing me. That sign is frigging great. I like your neighborhood!!

Isn't it so cool to be against Bush?

Kellie isn't the only republican to visit Dooce. That's why I favor getting a bunch of stickers that say "DON'T" and pasting them above the "STOP".

The guy could've at least gotten the stop sign red right. That just looks retarded. Except for the stopping of the bush sentiment. That's a-right on.
Kellie, go eat shit, you war-mongering, mindless twit.

Kellie - You're not the only one. I'm glad you said what you said. You can still enjoy someone's personality and who they are without agreeing on everything they stand for.

Well said.

Oh man... I wish I had thought of that when they were handing out Bush/Halliburton (ooops, I mean Bush/Cheney) stickers last week...

Dooce, your insight into motherhood and pooping are priceless even if you are a Democrat...just kidding!

BTW....I have to agree with Kellie and Angela Marie which is what I meant by my previous question.

Well at least you have the proper punishment for Kerry supporters correct. I actually voted for Kerry before I voted against him. This is Kano and I approve this message.

It's particularly nice that that sign has a bullet hole in it. I think anyplace where people shoot at signs clearly needs more democratic graffiti.

ha! i took a very similar picture in san diego. it was on the stop sign outside the convention center and tons of people were flooding past it everyday. great advertising!

if bush wins i will cry.

Love it - I wish I had thought of it. ;-)

Keeping my fingers crossed for Nov 3rd ... the idea of "four more years" makes me positively constipated, and I'm normally pretty regular.

Those stickers are here in MN, too. :)

My fellow non-Americans might be interested in this site:

http://www.globalvote2004.org

The "non-American" votes from that website will be compiled and released to the U.S. media just before the election.

Kind of lets you have a say in things.

That made my day.

I'm a proud republican. Thanks for being the first (today) to stand up!

Too bad Utah is like Kansas and was decided long before this election process started taking place...

McCain - Jeb Bush '08!!!

Oh yes, need some of those around Baton Rouge!

I just hope that all of our votes will be counted so we have a fair election this time.

For people those who are voting for Bush, are you just voting because he is a Republican and you support the Republican party or do you actually support what he is saying? Just curious.

this is scary

http://www.enquirer.com/editions/2004/10/20/loc_fraud20.html

Speech**

It was a joke, really.

I wonder why I didn't think of this one myself. I wonder if it's too late to get a ton of those stickers? I wonder how long it would take them to "smoke me out" if I did? I wonder why hot dogs come in packages of 10 but buns come in packages of 8?

I support many of the ideas he represents. I make my decision the same way you do, I imagine. Just because I vote for the opposite person you do doesn't mean I haven't put thought and concern into my decision. You can call people lemmings no matter which side you stand on.

'For people who are voting for Kerry, are you just voting because he is a Democrat and you support the Democratic party or do you actually support what he is saying? Just curious.'

I'm not really curious; I believe people make decisions based on what they believe is important.

Do I like war? No. Do I fear terrorism? Yes. Do I think gay marriage should be banned? No. Do my opinions, because they differ from yours, make me a twit? whatthefuckever.

That should be NEIGHBORHOOD. Jeebus.

"For people those who are voting for Bush, are you just voting because he is a Republican and you support the Republican party or do you actually support what he is saying? Just curious."

Emma, I'm voting for George Bush because I think he's the better man for the job. I voted for Al Gore the first time around and will vote for George Bush this time.
The same could be said for Kerry supporters... do you support Kerry for his ideas and what he says or do you support him simply because he is "anybody but Bush"?
That said, I did not post on here to stir trouble, just making an observation. Besides, how boring would the world be if we all agreed on everything? Who would Bill O'Reilly bully and belittle on his show? How would Michael Moore make any money? : )
Cheers,
Kellie in Kentucky

Katy, why on earth would you choose to insult me? Because I call to everyone's attention the inappropriatness of the act?

Just one example of why it is so wrong.
http://tinyurl.com/67w6v

My mission now is to find (or just make) stickers like those. Once I do, I will dress in all black attire, and commit the same delicious crime in my neighborhood.

Emma, are you voting for Kerry because you actually believe in what he stands for (keeping the troops in Iraq, not making gay marriage legal) or are you just voting *against* Bush?

Many of you preach tolerance of others, but can't tolerate an opposing political point of view. Would you read dooce.com if she was a conservative Republican?

Kuddos to those people who can enjoy this blog while disagreeing with the politics.

I would crap my pants if I saw a sticker like that around here--here being College Station, Texas. That would be funny. It'd be even funnier if someone put it on a stop sign next to the George Bush Library...

Somehow I don't see that happening though... and if by some small chance it did, I don't think it would stay up very long.

On another note, one of the few people I know of NOT voting for Bush in my office is a Mormon. LOL. :)

Wow, people actually believe in bush? I'm constantly amazed that he has snowed so many people. Granted choice is our freedom and we all love that...

I suppose there are people out there who can "relate" and "believe" in bush and cheney, but I'm glad I'm not one of em!

KERRY ROOLZ, BUSH DROOLZ!! :)

Yikes!

Well I live in Bush country (Houston). I feel so bad that my Kerry vote won't count for shit that I went out and bought Michael Moore's movie in silent protest. (well that and I contributed to Kerry)

I probably hate Bush more than anyone posting here because I saw how he screwed our state before he went about raping the rest of the country.

I'm sorry about that y'all, but I have *never* voted for that redneck idiot.

Keep on regulating, Dooce

I must add:

One thing that bothers me about the stickers, yard signs, billboards, bumper stickers, and what-not, is that they do nothing but further polarize both sides. If you want to change someones mind or influence them to vote for your candidate, then don't you think the best way to do that would be to make a logical, fact-based argument, rather than simply say, "my guy is better; your guys sucks?" (or whichever way one would choose to phrase it)

Those who are voting for Bush because he will be "tough on terror" really need to think long and hard about the long-term consequnces in OTHER areas as well. The same "black and white" (and non-thinking) approach Bush brings to "the war on terror" is exactly what he brings to all other areas of policy - from education to choice to gay marriage. SEVERAL memebers of the Supreme Court will be stepping down over the next 4 years. If you want abortion to be made illegal, even if the life of the mother is at risk, or in the case of rape, go ahead and vote for Bush. If you want federal, Constitutional discrimination against gay marriage, go ahead and vote for Bush. If you don't want to futher miraculous medical advances through stem-cell research, go ahead and vote for Bush. If you want Bush's religious BELIEFS to create and form LAWS for our country, then Bush is your man.

My vote goes to Kerry.

Tiff, I’m voting for Kerry because I do believe in what he stands for AND I’m voting against Bush. I respect different opinions if it is an educated decision that they are making.

I asked the previous question because I have came across so many people who says "I don't necessary agree with Bush or like him, but I’m a Republican so I’m voting for Bush." I’m not saying that everyone who is voting for Bush is this way at all. I’m sure there are some Democrats who are voting for Kerry just because they are Democrats but I have not came across any.

Some of my relatives who live in Arizona are voting for Bush, but a most them have no idea what’s going on in the world. They didn’t even watch any of the debates, they don’t even know what Bush stands for.

I'm glad that everyone here seems to be taking this election seriously no matter who you may be voting for. Didn’t mean to insult anyone and I certainly wasn’t saying “if you’re voting for Bush, you must not know anything”.

I love it!

GO CARDS GO CARDS GO CARDS!

Signed,
Livin' in and Lovin' STL :-D (So cheesey, I know!)

I love the photo. Says it all, doesn't it? :)

"The same could be said for Kerry supporters… do you support Kerry for his ideas and what he says or do you support him simply because he is “anybody but Bush”?"

For me, it's a little of both. I don't support Kerry's entire platform or history - he was not my first choice of the Democratic candiates. Or even my second. But I still find more to support in Kerry than I do in Bush. If I weren't a Democrat before, I sure as hell would be one this year.

I saw those all over New Orleans as well. That made me pretty happy, as, from a lot of stuff I've read, Louisiana is going to be pretty important in the election.

Thank you, Tom, for your witty comment. Too bad it got lost in all the arguing.

Cracks me up.....all the people that are voting for Kerry because of what he stands for. Each week he stands for something new so I guess he has all of you covered. I like a president that takes charge and stands by his decisions. Kerry will be weak and will get this country in deep trouble....He is a yes man that trys to please everyone with words and not with actions. Good luck to the USA if Kerry wins.

I wasn't going to comment, but then I saw Carol was offering a free trip to Iraq for myself and my family members, and thought I'd jump on that opportunity.

I actually have close friends who have served in Iraq, and they've seen first hand the gratitude and appreciation of the Iraqi people. Do not let the insurgents over there succeed in their desire to cloud your mind.

On CNN.com today there is an article about a humanitarian aide worker who has been kidnapped and will probably end up beheaded as well. She wasn't there promoting a political or religious agenda, she was simply working to build medical centers and improve water sanitation. The radicals/insurgents/terrorists don't like that kind of thing very much. So they kidnapped this lady, put it on the news, and are trying to use her to scare us out of the country.

These aren't the kind of people who can be reasoned with. A "sensitive" war on terror is out of the question.

Politics aside, I too am a regular here, and I very much enjoy reading everything Dooce has to say. She's an excellent writer with a beautiful family, and I appreciate her voice. I'm sorry that some people feel my voice is "stupid" because I happen to disagree on certain political issues.

We've been seeing those around here too. Which is very cool, since Oklahoma unfortunatly is a Bush state.

And again?

http://www.cosy.com/boba2k/StopHillary.jpg

I too will be voting for Bush AND enjoy Dooce's site. I think it's perfectly fine for all of us to have different views and opinions. Is having a difference in opinion supposed to mean we have to hate and disrespect each other?

I'm not a republican or a democrat. I believe that gay people should have the same rights as straight folks. I believe in a womans right to choose abortion. I believe that Christians have the right to be Christians and non-Christians have the right to be non-Christians but that neither have the right to cram their views down my throat. In the past year I've had more atheists on my ass for believing in God than I have Christians for my refusal to accept Jesus as my "lord and savior". Liberals can be really really scary too.

I think the most important thing is to VOTE!! Vote for whoever you want, but get out their and get your voice heard.

Ok, I am so sick of this Kerry flip flops shit. Sometimes you go into a situation with a plan/opinion, then things don't go the way you thought they would so you CHANGE your plan/opinion. Adapting to changing situations is how intelligent people conduct themselves. Refusing to admit you are wrong or have made mistakes, and dragging everyone along for the ride on your personal agenda, that's how BUSH conducts himself.
It's so sad that the government and the media has everyone so scared about terrorism that people are voting for Bush because they believe he will get the "evil-doers". The fact is that Sadam had NOTHING TO DO WITH 9/11. This whole "preventing terrorism before it happens" policy that bush claims is bullshit. What about Iran? What about Korea? Also, is everyone aware that while Bush is sending all of these service men/women off to war he is cutting their benifets and pay? What a wonderful way to support the troops that are dying because of his personal agenda. Isn't it important that we fix the problems here so that we actually have something worth protecting?

Dooce-
I hope you wore gloves for when they dust for prints on the stop signs! Nice work creating the network all over the country to help you in your grand scheme.

I'm a Republican AND a Christian, and I enjoy this site! Dooce is hillarious, and I love seeing the pictures she takes. She's very talented on many levels.

Army Brat, So, then you think that George W. fought for military salaries and benifits?
AND
You didn't answer my question- Why Iraq? They are not the only ones "harboring terrorists". There are approx. 60 countries with substantial terrorist rings/ties. Here's the answer for you: oil/money. Plain and simple. If all we do is invade/occupy other countries and don't focus on the MANY problems we have here, we will have nothing worth while left to protect

"Cracks me up…..all the people that are voting for Kerry because of what he stands for. Each week he stands for something new so I guess he has all of you covered. I like a president that takes charge and stands by his decisions."

Oh, sure. I agree. You've got to admire and respect the man for taking charge and standing by his decisions. For example, when he realized Osama Bin Laden was behind the 9/11 attacks, and he decided to take him out. He didn't stop until he got the job done. Sure, a lot of people said "He's going to be really hard to find. Why don't you just say that finding him isn't that important after all, and move on to something else?" And others said "You know, Saddam Hussein was on your 'People I Am SO Going to Bitch Slap Once I Finally Become President' list loooong before 9/11, so why don't you go after *him* instead?" But he didn't. He knew Bin Laden was the problem, and he went right in there and took care of it, without getting sidetracked, or using the opportunity to launch an entirely new and unrelated war.

Oh, wait...

It's nice to hear a lot of the political parties' rhetoric reflected here. We have the "there's no room for sensitivity in the war on terror" and the "sometimes changes in situations call for changes in opinions" it's great to know that people are so good at absorbing those bytes while repelling the cold, hard truth.

Yet another semi-conservative here on Dooce's site... enjoying the hell out of her talent and her voice, too! Sondra and Amanda B. already said what I wanted to say, so I won't go into repeat mode.

Carol? Thanks. Calling an entire group of diverse people "stupid" and offering to send them to Iraq is a really brilliant way to inspire us to listen to what you have to say.

I just saw John Kerry speak at the University of Wisconsin--Milwaukee. He spoke specifically about how jobs, families, health care, and all of the issues relate to women. After seeing him in person, I am more convinced than ever that he is a good and fair man, concerned about the welfare of __all__ Americans and completely capable of restoring dignity and prosperity to our country.

And, hearing him remind us of how much has gone HORRIBLY WRONG in the last four years just demonstrates the intensity of this election--it shows just how important it is for people to get out and vote, and vote Bush OUT.

"America needs a president that doesn't just help women get by but helps them get ahead!" He told us. I agree.

Proud republican here, not voting for Bush. Don't always assume the Bush bashers are dems. Personally, I think he's completely wrecked havock on the Republican platform: fiscal responsibility and personal freedoms indeed!

What in gods name happened to discussions about Leta's teething???!!!!?!!?!?!?!?!!??!?!?!?

also...

Isn't Utah the only state to use the firing squad?

quickie to Sondra.

Your opinion isn't stupid. It's people who dont appreciate the fact that you have a different opinion who are stupid.

Kerry-Edwards '04, baby!

Oh, political catfight over at Dooce's! I'll bring the popcorn!

Today I saw my first "W stands for Women" bumper sticker and choked a little. I prefer the embellished stop signs, myself.

Sondra:

The word from MY family members and close friends in Iraq is that Al Qaida is thrilled about what we've done over there -- they have more power and freedom to move around than they ever did under Saddam.

Think about it: If invaders demolished OUR govenment and created chaos, who would be in charge here? Us nice, moderate people, or gangs or criminals with the biggest weapons?

Would we nice, moderate people help out and be all gung-ho about the invading force of, say, annoying French people? Especially if they weren't very good at protecting us from the criminals (some of whom we identify with more than we do the invading French people)?

My folks in the military now travel by airplane to cover distances of 5 miles because the roads are too dangerous. What the media calls "armored" vehicles are jeeps that they've had to weld their own scrap metal onto. THe whole operation has been a disastrous mistake. It has made us even more of a target than we ever were.

"Tough" on terrorism? Bush's aqpproach to terrorism has made me feel less safe, more of a target, more afraid than I ever was before.

To see some pictures from the campaign scene today, check out http://www.xanga.com/skin.asp?user=rlschlei.

Oh, and there were Bush-backers there with signs that said "Alqueda for Kerry". WTF?

Oh! She was there looonggg before the OCCUPATION, during the sanctions. It is okay then! Phew. I will go and get my point back from where it was kidnapped and let it know we will STILL BE VOTING FOR KERRY.

Claire-
Sorry, I was just making a statement. The war in Iraq is an issue that encompasses much; and in order to address my thoughts and feelings on it would be both time consuming and inappropriate here. I don't intend to argue with you or anyone, and by all means, vote for Kerry. It's your voice and I'm not begruding your opinion or your vote.

Oh, Grace, it's only because they didn't pray enough.

Grace, I guess I missed that statistic. Would you mind crediting your source?

You know I've seen a few of those around in SF too. So where do I get "Bush" stickers? *grin*

RJ Hampden, just because Kellie or anyone else for that matter does not agree with your opinion..doesn't make them a "mindless twit". In my OPINION, you sound pretty darn prejeduce, assuming all republicans think and agree on the exact same things. Respect really does go a long way, maybe you should try and join the rest of us in a grown up conversation? I don't know where you live, but I live in a country where everyone..EVERYONE..is allowed to have their own views. (In case you're confused, that means color, age, religion, and political standpoint.)

Anyway, sorry Dooce..I'm an ex-Mormon as well, but I will still be voting for Bush, lol. However, I love you to itty bitty pieces, and will continue to stop by daily. Just because someone you like doesn't share the same views, doesn't change how good of a person they are. :)

Why didnt i think of that? At least it's not too late but I do hate to support Bush by buying his stickers. I guess I'll just print them.

Oh sweet jesus, not the "hitler" reference...

just about every stop sign here in boston has those stickers. we're in kerry country, afterall!

also, i was very pleased to read that you were excited that the Sox won. boston was a madhouse. and since by boyfriend lives *two blocks away* from fenway, i can only tell you that it was louder and crazier than anything you saw on the tv.

go red sawks!

"RJ Hampden said at 09:59AM, 10.22.2004:
Alright, let’s continue this conversation in ten years when the truth can’t make a damn bit of difference and countless documentaries refer to bush et al’s cronyism and culture of fear as the new “red scare”. We’ll talk about this after trillions of dollars of our kids’ money and thousands of our family members and innocent foreigners are killed. That pack of wackos in office right now IS wrong. They ARE evil and anyone who supports them IS a motherfucking twit because they cannot and will not be able to back up thier shit with fact because if they had a half of a fucking brain in their head they’d KNOW histortells us we’re totally fucked. Kerry’s just as retarded."

Excuse me, but why do you make this election so personal, RJ? Not everyone who votes for Bush is a "motherfucking twit" and I would have to say that SOME people voting for Kerry are. That is just what happens. There are "motherfucking twits" voting for each candidate, as well as very intelligent people.

And I am voting for Bush, not because of the war, because frankly they BOTH pretty much want to keep the troops in Iraq. I am voting for Bush because I happen to agree with his viewpoints on abortion and gay marriage. Does this make me a motherfucking twit? No. It just makes me a person with an opposite opinion from somebody else.

Seriously, why attack people for believing in something that you don't? Get over yourself, RJ.

And even though I am voting for the moronic dimwitt that looks like a monkey, I truly love to make fun of him because his appearance looks like a monkey. Or an elephant. Lighten up. I don't get offended when Dooce or Blurb make fun of Bush. They are just spouting their opinions, and frankly, its quite funny.

And for those of you voting for Kerry, go for it! And if you haven't already heard (even though I don't believe this): Bush + Dick, we're fucked. Just thought I'd help ya out a little.

By the way, Dooce, I truly love the picture. I wish I could be that creative to think of putting up a sticker like that on a stop sign.

Can we please talk about poop next week? Everyone seems to agree about that. :)

Love in Christ,
Amber <><

Why do people ask you if their farts stink? Like we really want to find out! That would annoy me too, Dooce.

I love that sign. Best thing I have seen all day. Go Kerry!!!

Wanted to say to Kellie that I am also from Kentucky...and voting for Bush.

Contrary to what the news media wants to have you believe the economy (this includes unemployment, new jobs, etc.) is the same right now (and in some areas even better) under Bush as it was when Clinton was re-elected to a second term. Whoever is President, that person doesn't affect the economy as much as people would like to believe.

I do not believe that Bush is trying to scare the American public. I believe that he is telling us the harsh reality of the world in which we live in. Fall 01, my college roommate was a female from Indonesia. She was also Muslim. After September 11, she told me she was happy that so many Christians were killed. That we "got what we deserved." Another girl from Indonesia who lived in my hall came to me scared to death. She was the only Christian of the group. The 3 other Indonesians were telling her how they hoped her family would be killed next because she was Christian. I called my mom and told her what was going on. Then talked to the Residence Hall director in which I was informed "The colleges first priority is protecting the International Students. I should be accepting of what my roommate and the others were saying because this was a trying time for them." My roommate hated the United States but would complain constantly that the college wasn't giving her enough money each month. (The university gives a monthly check to each International Student for $925.)

Awesome. I've seen a lot of stop signs here in Minnesota with "Bush" either painted or spray-painted onto the sign. Lots near the St. Cloud State campus and in Uptown Minneapolis around the lakes on pathway stop signs. Great minds.

Does anyone here really agree 100% with Bush or Kerry? I am a registered Republican that agrees with Gay marriage and abortion... go figure... In a perfect world I would take a little from each and buid my own candidate... aside from that I love this site and all the comments... keep it up!

yeah, those have been all over the san francisco bay area for some time now. good to know that they're making their way to other parts of the country.

that's awesome -- we have the same thing going on here in florida (tampa). granted, i live in the ghetto and we've got tags on everything verticle, but there's a lot of black spray paint beneath stop signs that also read bush. so most of these folks are probably going to be denied at the polls, at least it's nice to know. although, this morning a misguided dude covered up a john kerry sign with an assload of anti-bush propaganda but left the bush yard sign ( a foot a way ) unscathed. he might be dyslexic but at least dude knew how to choose his martyrs.
