Nice Try
April 30, 2008
In 1992, I was twelve years old. Precocious young Democrat that I was, I decided one day it’d be funny to scribble over the “BUSH-QUAYLE ‘92” sticker on the cover of a classmate’s notebook. When my deed was discovered, our teacher was called in to mediate the situation, and quickly threatened the entire class with loss of our recess if the offending party didn’t confess to their crime. Because of my high moral standards—or possibly because of a few knowing glares from other students in the class—I admitted my wrongdoing and paid the price of a recess suspension and a bit of embarrassment over how juvenile what I’d done really was.
So I was irritated, but not exactly angry, when I saw that someone had ripped the Obama bumper sticker off my brother’s pickup truck this morning. Unfortunately I didn’t have another to replace it, so I decided to place an order, and make a well-timed donation before the end of the April reporting period.
So that stunt kind of backfired.
I was hoping that Clinton would get the nomination, but that doesn’t look likely! I’ll be happy with either candidate in the White House!
So, what are you going to do with the other 25 bumper stickers you bought?
Of all of my core family of brothers/sisters/parents, I am the sole Democrat, so it has been “interesting.” My folks are constantly sending me anti-Democrat & pro-Republican propaganda via email. It is difficult to maintain a loving relationship with them during election years!
I’m giving them away to all takers. It’d be nice to see a few more blue bumper stickers in my yellow-ribbon town. :)
Good luck with the split-party family… fortunately I’m blessed with a mom and brother who are both Obama supporters, so I’ve always got someone to rant with.
