Antique Bumper Stickers
« on: March 27, 2007, 10:44:05 AM »
I still see a few Kerry/Edwards bumperstrips here in ye olde fetid swamp,
in fact this morning on K Street, I saw a car with both a Gore/Lieberman sticker and a Kerry/Edwards one.

That got me thinking.

Wouldn't it be kinda fun to make up Colonial era bumper stickers?

Washington/Adams in 89

Jefferson/Burr in 01

Madison/Clinton in 08

The only problem with the first two is that in the first several national elections there were no "tickets" of the kind that we see now.

No one ran with George Washington as his vice presidential candidate.

In those days, everyone ran for President.

The person with the most electoral college votes got the job.

The person with the second most electoral college votes became VP.

When the Constitution first was laid out and adopted, the framers really hoped that political parties of the kind that had risen in England wouldn't creep into American politics.

It took less than 3 years from the election of George Washington for the Federalists and the Democrat-Republicans to coalesce into two distinct parties.

so these bumperstickers would then raise speaking points with Americans about the morass that we are quagmired in

and they would be kinda Back to the Future ironic

It might be a tasty meme for our Che Rivera clad youth

Tippecanoe and Tyler too!

IMPEACHE GEORGE III!!!

Funny you should mention that...ever since I switched to the pro-gun side of things, I've wanted a bumper sticker that said something along the lines of...
"King George III was for gun control...
...thank Thomas Jefferson III for the 2nd"

only written so it's actually clever and funny...and not historically inaccurate as to whom actually wrote the amendment=)
