Beware of bumper stickers!

We at the Austinist know how some of you love to broadcast your political affiliations through your bumper stickers. We find reading the spirited phrases helps us to pass the time while stuck in traffic. And we think some of the stickers are quite clever. After all, you really can't hug children with nuclear arms!

Additionally, we're sure you've kept up with the rising number of President Bush's exclusive "public" speeches concerning Social Security. Bumper sticker fanatics beware. You may not have the same access to the President that everyone else enjoys. At a recent speech in Colorado, two members of the audience were kicked out of the event because the bumper sticker on their car read "No More Blood for Oil."

This officially marks the point at which Bush's supporters (who were supposedly the perpetrators of the booting) have lost all sense of democracy. What type of country do we live in where you can't express your beliefs on the bumper of your car?!

We'd love to hear about the greatest Austin bumper stickers you've ever seen, so quote some of them in the comments.

Travis county wasn't the only blue county in Texas for no reason because Travis county wasn't the only blue county in Texas.

A bush sticker from October:

"Drunken Frat Boy Drives Country Into Ditch"

The funniest bumper sticker I've seen around Austin is pretty offensive, so avert your eyes if you are sensitive to such ...

"God is my co-pilot, and we are cruising for pussy."
