When are we getting the the "McCain, Tell Me How My Ass Tastes" bumper stickers?
Tim, have I mentioned that you're a genius?
That stuff is fine for blog comment sections, but for the public as a whole I'd like to try to push more of a "Morning in America!" vibe. Bullshit as it is, BS works in politics.
Can't we do something that says, "McCain: yesterday in America" I mean that's a crappy slogan, but I think it would be cool to take Reagan's master marketing campaign, turn it on its head and use it against a Republican.

PGD, when I'm on the Obama payroll, I'll worry about what to push. Also, thanks for the link, Labs.

I'm not doing that under my own name, Timmeh.
Also, as long as I'm serial commenting, especial thanks, Labs, for actually linking to us, instead of to that Technorati-glory-stealing Tweety.
More like: "McCain: Tomorrow, the next day, the day after that ... in Iraq"
Not as catchy of course, so actually you could just go with "McCain: One, two, a thousand Vietnams" and get out the geezer vote.
8: You could go with "McCain: Mourning in America." (Somehow, though, that seems to me to be open to misinterpretation as making light of military sacrifice.)
I suppose that Labs already has the picture for the "O" in that one.
I think I miss nuclear holocaust-W.H. Auden one-twos.
I was thinking about "McCain: The Forever War" but I don't think enough people read SF. So now I'm leaning towards "America's Senior Moment: McCain '08". As a grey bearded old fart I think I can get away wth it.
Speaking of disappointment, did Obama criticize the recent death penalty case? Saw a casual mention somewhere.
Not that it is a huge deal to me, I am just collecting rightward panders.
"McCain: Sunset in America?" I dunno. Meh.
I am just collecting rightward panders.
Later you can throw them out and yell, "Undivided Jerusalem, I choose you!" or something. It'll be very Pokemon.
If I saw this on a car, I would definitely assume it was a McCain sticker.
I'm with Brock on this one. Subtle nuance doesn't translate so well to bumper stickers.
Unsubtle nuance, on the other hand, there you might have something!
I was assuming it went without saying that the bumper sticker isn't a good idea if broadly disseminated.
"Our Turn Signals are Flashing For John McCain"
21: It did. But now you've gone and said it. Sheesh, now what?
23: Crap. I have no idea. I perform ablutions?
"Plus say 'change', plus c'est la meme chose"
Also, thanks for the link, Labs.
AHEM. Sexist.
McCain: Like You'll Really Vote For a Black Guy
(That one could probably use some tightening to fit on the sticker.)
It's as though I've never even heard of pacing.
27: He didn't thank you? That's just rude. Thanks, B, for the link. We really do appreciate it. And you, too, Sifu. (I can't get over how terrific I am with words.)
It's okay, I know Eric hates me because I'm tacky.
H/T to Echidne for this bumper sticker on bipartisanship:
I will hug your elephant if you will kiss my ass.
37: I'm not seeing how that slogan works for desert-based McCain, Sifu.
John McCain: as old as Bob Hope, but funnier!
John McCain: Two new hips to run this country into ground!
(I know that sucks. But I really want something about a hip replacement.)
40: "McCain: Hipper Than Obama---Shit, He's Had Four!"
McCain: Really Old, And Couldn't Walk Except He's Part Robot!
42: Um, it's possible that people tackiness isn't the reason people hate you, my sweet.
John McCain: Incontinent For Some Time Now!
John McCain: Depends Where It Counts!
John McCain: Keep America Regular.
47: Other than the garbled prose and the strained allusion to your 35, you mean?
McCain: The Smell of America in the Morning
I'm not seeing how that slogan works for desert-based McCain, Sifu.
He was born in Panama, you know.
John McCain: A Boiled Chicken in Every Pot.
49: Well, I admit that "people tackiness" was a little confusing.
John McCain: My Parents were American, OK?
He was born in Panama, you know.
Well, yeah. I hear Standpipe's blogging about my comment soon.
(Also: hey teo!)
(Also: hey teo!)
Hey Stanley. I see you're posting on the front page now.
58: True story. I think that, with ogged gone, the overlords were concerned that FL alone couldn't handle the mocking-ben responsibilities.
John McCain: It's Bedtime in America.
(or nap time?)
61: Naptime is better. In fact, it's really quite good.
62 was me. Sigh. Is this Firefox's fault? Or mine? Probably mine. Sigh. Again.
"Naptime" is excellent. Go Katherine. You must make the sticker you wish to see in the world. I'll buy.
John McCain: It Will Build Character.
I still think "Regular" was the best. Double entendre city.
(Does anyone else remember the Bush Cheney sloganator? I wasted many an hour there the week before the RNC convention. Only really worthwile series of posts on Wonkette.
I don't do graphic design, though, nor will I put zany bumper stickers on my car--I was raised in a "station wagon with too many bumper stickers" family.)
John McCain: "I am Aware of Bumper Stickers"
John McCain: Liveblogged the Old Testament.
Katherine, refusal to put bumper stickers on my car is a sign of bourgie commodity-fetishism. Go on. Desecrate the fucker.

I too encourage the desecration of Wrongshore's car.
Stupid hint of Becks-style. "My" s/b "your" but maybe I oughta go lock the garage now.
I'd hate to be all bourgie. Better get out there and start slapping bumper stickers on Wrongshore's car.
b's close enough that she could actually do it. Locking the garage may indeed be a good idea.
I saw this on another site a few weeks ago:
"John McCain: In your heart, you know he's white"
Having bumper stickers on your car is strongly correlated with displaying road rage. Luckily the Supreme Court just threw out DC's handgun ban.
John McCain: We Didn't Lose Vietnam.
73-78 is a really exquisite cocktail of pwnage, joke-explaining, repetition, and drunkenness.
I will now admit to not having any bumper stickers on my car.
My last car had two: "Live Better, Work Union" and I'd Rather Be Bowhunting. And then I drove it off the Hollywood Sign.
I feel obligated to defend Ari's my blog, but, um, Stanley, what's your email address? I have a very important question to ask you.
Also, my new blog and blog-brothers are awesome. Slap them on your car and be happy, you ingrates.

So true. And yet I will not be desecrating my [car]. No stickers on my bikes, either.
Although most bumper stickers are objectively stupid or, alternately, funny for a lot less time than they stay on the car. I could get down with stickers that fall off after, say, 4 months.

I often marvel at the bitter-enders who still have Bush-Cheney bumper stickers on their vehicles, indicating that they are simultaneously committed enough to remain supportive of GWB, brazen enough not to feel shame about doing so, and poor enough to be driving a four-year-old vehicle*.
*FTR I'm not in favor of replacing vehicles at three year intervals (when I drive, it's an 8 y.o. car), but I think of the core W. demographic as being frequent car replacers.
I see a lot stickers around here that read: "You voted for Bush? How embarrassing!"
My earlier comment would've made sense had all the tags rendered.
I could blame myself, but since apo's here ...
81 edit: We Didn't Lose Vietnam . . . Yet
I have a bumper sticker, actually, usually for a single doomed Democratic campaign (first it was Robert Reich, then Howard Dean, then Kerry, then Obama). But I have a strict one-at-a-time policy.

McCain. He's Suffered Enough... But Have We?
McCain: He'll Get Those Kids Off Your Lawn
McCain: He'll Get Those Kids Off Your Lawn and Into Iran
McCain 08: For A President Who Looks Like America - Vote For The Rich Overprivileged Bigoted Belligerent Ignorant Diseased Psychotic Bomb-Happy Cripple
Replete of bumper sticker ideas, how about a McCain theme song:
Daisy, Daisy (as sung by HAL)
94: Yeah, I have not made the Kerry to Obama switch yet. I feel compelled to keep it on as long as whining asshat boy is running things. In fact part of me wants to keep a Kerry sticker on for the rest of my life.
101
Daisy,Daisy the coppers are after you,
They've gone crazy, because of the things you do.
They'll tie you up with wire
Inside a Black Maria,
So ring your bell and pedal like hell
On a bicycle made for two!
I could war away our powers,
Invadin'--where's the flowers?
Combatants to detain.
And my views, I'd be flippin'
While my talk was busy floppin'
If I only had McCain.
Occupy ev'ry country
For a decade or a cent'ry
In snow, shine, or rain.
In your thoughts you'd be thinkin'
"He's just another Lincoln"
If you only had McCain.
Oh, I could tell you why
The drilling's near the shore,
I could think of positions I never held before
And then I'd sit and think of more.
I would not be just a hobbyist
I'd be a corporate lobbyist
That spills money down the drain.
I would thrive and be merry
Life would be ding-a-derry
If I only had McCain.
Let's see, we've got Obama, the Better World Club, two Fraternity of Police stickers ($35/year is pretty good at getting you "warnings" instead of tickets), a Sierra Club, and we had a "Families Come in All Colors" rainbow sticker but it got all bleached out by the sun and is now just a tattered white piece of paper.
Sounds like B is an aggressive driver.
Swipple Families are Bleached White.
105:
Ha! I saw a bumper sticker with a picture of the US flag and the slogan "These colors don't run" and I think it was cheaply made in China because the ink literally *did* run. It faded real fast too. That was funny. And sad. And ironic.
McCain '08: FUCK THE TROOPS
This needs some really small text added "unless you are gay!"
106: I'm not, actually. I got trained by driving on military bases a lot: Do Not Speed. Plus, you know, I also ride a bike.
I drive slow and sometimes get honked at by assholes.
113: I drive slow and sometimes get honked at by assholes Napi.
"We're so straight even Falwell thinks our kinky homosexual sadomasochism towards captive arabs is pretty cool!"
max
['Give 'em the broomstick, Johnny!']
113: sorry B, science proves you wrong.
I know I was whining about pacing the other day, but perhaps it would be good to have another post right about now, yes?
(Not in response to anything in particular, I just think we could use something fresh.)
That was funny. And sad. And ironic.
And kind of perfect.
sometimes get honked at by assholes.
Maybe it is your lowrider jeans, Bitch?
I've had a number of bumper stickers that come and go, but one I've had for decades ... ACLU ... which I've always thought should mean more in this country than even a flag emblem.

Vitter and Craig cosponsor Federal Marriage Amendment
This should be the theme of our Republican Convention completely legal guerrilla theatre: Vitter, Craig, and the Marriage Amendment. T-shirts, posters, bumper stickers. A website. A spokesman. A slogan. Invite Vitter and Craig to public appearances.
|>
122: Unreal.
"Spokesman"? I think you mean "spokesqueer," you big sexist.
No, we're directing this at the masses. Vitter will be blamed for the New Orleans hurricane. Craig will be blamed for AIDS. God will be invoked.
John McCain: Vietnamization Can Work Again!
I'm getting a new car this summer and thus have decided to go magnets-only from here on out. My Obama magnet (and one for Rah's slick new ride) are in transit to us, as is my new HRC equals-sign magnet.
The CTHULHU fish is already a magnet, as I bought it at a time when I knew any bumper sticker would outlive any car likely to find itself in my driveway.
