Here's one: Obama-more liberal than McCain.

WHY is a "vote" on the Star-Telegram website??? You endorsed Obama (fortunately).

How about Vote Republican we are always a month behind as evident on the site where you can go vote for a bumper sticker slogan.

{"We've heard your wit, humor, and even your sarcasm. With over 1,300 online submissions, we've narrowed down to the top five bumper sticker ideas.

Please help us choose which of these five slogans will be on the official 2008 Republican Party of Texas bumper sticker. Choose wisely, as you can vote only once!

All voting will come to an end on Thursday, June 3rd at 12 noon."}

I think they meant it to be July???? Now that is the kind of leadership I'm looking for.

I wonder why they didn't have a contest to select a positive, pro-McCain slogan. Maybe they didn't think anyone could come up with one. Didn't Republican Spiro Agnew coin the term Nattering Nabobs of Negativism? I guess he was talking about his own party.

Why don't they spend their time trying to think of positive things about the GOP? (gas and oil party)

[Mike Jones]

FUCK THE GOP. RACIST BASTARDS

Jesus you people are idiots. Sometimes I'm sad that I live in Texas.

It seems to me the high gas prices came about with a Republican president tied to big oil and Arab sheiks.

[Snap out of it]

In the passed 3 years the price of a barrel of oil has tripled. In Euros, that price has doubled. What is the republican plan to combat the falling value of the American dollar resulting from Bush's failed economic and war policies? America is waiting.

Wow, these are some bumper stickers worthy of only the short-bus.

I'll just note that 90% of americans will pay less taxes under obama than under mccain.

I WANT OBAMA AFTER BEING A SCHOOL TEACHER IN THE ROUGHEST SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN THE WORLD!!

"It seems to me the high gas prices came about with a Republican president tied to big oil and Arab sheiks."

Indeed. We can look to the weak dollar and high deficits resulting from the tax cuts to the rich and the invasion of Iraq.
Those suggested bumper stickers indicate once again how shallow and dishonest Republicans are.

This is ridiculous..Why are you even promoting this type of foolishness on this website??....There are some VERY ignorant people making these slogans...If you think McCain is the best candidate, then devote your energy to highlighting his positive attributes instead of wasting time/energy being negative

[Blahbla]

You know what boggles my mind. How can people walk around and say so much horrible things about Bush or McCain or any other Republican and get away with it. Yet, when you say something about Obama it's consisdered an atrosity!! They all deserve respect and have made mistake. You would too if you had so much power over a whole country.
