| On the way out do run a few errands, Erci and I noticed this odd bumper sticker on a fairly new Nissan Maxima driven by a young woman along U.S. route 50 in Chantilly, VA. |  |
Someone had clearly either taped over or blackened out the McCain portion of this McCain/Palin bumper sticker. I am left wondering why? I mean the options are leave your stickers on, or remove them, but to go through the effort to modify them in this manner; it indicates a scary level of rage, misdirected at the wrong loser of the election, and a clueless person to support the worst candidate for the vice presidency I can recall.
My fear is that for 2012 some Republicans will try to nominate Palin to be their presidential candidate. This would make some of my Democratic friends happy, as she’d be pretty easy to beat; but wouldn’t it be better to face a serious candidate who can actually bring something to the table and spur meaningful discussion about the issues?
I am also concerned what sort of mentality goes into deliberately blackening McCain’s name on their bumper sticker. Does the person who did that have guns? Are they healthy? Are they so desperate as to try something foolish? Do they even measure foolishness by the same metrics as the rest of us? Are they more likely to go “postal” or am I (full disclosure: I have something like nine Democratic candidate bumper stickers on my car).

You are probably overthinking this. Plenty of people liked Palin better than McCain.
Man you’re waaaaay overanalyzing this. It’s very simple. McCain lost, he won’t be back as a presidential candidate, and so they now proactively support Palin for 2012 even though she’s a complete maroon who doesn’t deserve one microsecond of air time. Let the idiots be idiots.
It’s just incomprehensible to me that anyone thinks she is their best choice for the oval office… but then, I thought that about George W. Bush too.
Well, if Scott’s overanalyzing it, we’re only helping it along by commenting
Frankly, if the GOP can’t rid itself of this insane Proud to Be Ignorant bent that’s so prominent right now, I’ll be happy to kick in some $ to make Palin the ’12 nominee. Either bring a serious candidate and political philosophy, or let’s not waste our time (Palin would make it quick and easy).
I saw a similar thing today — except it was a lawn sign with the top lopped off. Weird.
