Hope & Change Won’t Fill My Gas Tank

by

PatriotPartner (John) has a new CafePress site up: The Obamacide Shop.

His first offerings are a mug and bumper sticker with this design and slogan he came up with.

He is working on publishing another series of products, first previewed when I posted this a few months ago.

Go buy some and stick ’em on your car!

  1. How funny! I’ve spent the weekend doing the exact same thing! …working on designs and trying to open up my own cafe press shop. Weird! At the rate I’m going, my 2008 designs should be available by 2012 :/

    (the copyright/trademark BS is the hard part cus somebody is already using the name American Elephant! …started one month after I started my blog no less, so Im trying to figure out if I have the right to use it since I had it first)

  4. Tammy Bruce comes out swinging for Sarah Palin – on feminist terms. Read the whole thing, but this bit of her conclusion is sweet:

    On the day McCain announced her selection as his running mate, Palin thanked Clinton and Ferraro for blazing her trail. A day later, Ferraro noted her shock at Palin’s comment. You see, none of her peers, no one, had ever publicly thanked her in the 24 years since her historic run for the White House. Ferraro has since refused to divulge for whom she’s voting.

  5. I don’t think very many Hillary voters are going to switch sides because of Palin, but I would not be surprised if a lot of them stayed home, especially if the Obama camp keeps attacking Palin’s family.

    OTOH, Rasmussen reports that since Palin was announced, Obama’s lead among women voters has dropped from 14 points to 3 points.

    Agree.

    I’ve said this before, but here goes: The real significance of Palin’s selection is that it makes people feel great about voting for McCain. It means voting for McCain will be just as “historic” as voting for Obama, counterbalancing the latter’s advantage. It also destroys Obama’s “change” brand, highlighting Obama’s hypocrisy in battling women and in picking an entrenched Washington insider as his running mate. Finally, Palin is just plain attractive as a human being and citizen politician, like “Mrs. Smith, Who BTW Is a Hot Librarian, Goes to Washington – and Field-Dresses It”.

    Long story short, the enthusiasm for McCain goes way up, and some Independent men and women will be listening to McCain in a new way, or giving his arguments another chance. So Hillary supporters *don’t* come flocking to McCain-Palin, BUT, if a few of them stay home (or even vote McCain-Palin), plus a few more Independent men and women, then McCain goes over the top.

  7. Loved that Tammy Bruce article. Sweet, concise, and dead-on accurate.

    And as for the percentage of women voters, that doesn’t surprise me; while women may not agree with Palin on everything, they recognize that the Obama campaign thinks of them as nothing more than ‘hos that should be at the Messiah’s beck and call. You could see the puppet strings behind Boxer and Pelosi as they hollered and screamed about Palin and insisted that women need male Democrats to do their thinking for them.

    I think the threat of no longer being the most powerful women in Washington is driving them to new depths of insanity. Did you catch the video of Nancy Pelosi screeching at the “Drill Here, Drill Now” demonstrators? She sounded like the crazy cat lady.

  12. I saw a bumper sticker in a picture that was like the Obama campaign sticker in every respect except: The Obama sticker says HOPE with the logo as the “o” and the other sticker says NOPE with the logo as the “o.”

    Anyone know where to get this jewel?

  13. #5, Polls have indicated that close to 1/3 of those who voted for Hillary in the primaries voted for Bush/Cheney in 2004. That is a nice percentage of the popular vote that is up for grabs. One third of 18 million votes is 6 million. That’s a lot of potential swing votes.

    On a side note, I personally know Hillary supporting women who are in a quandry here in NYC because they can’t get themselves to vote for a Democrat. They have been indoctrinated to believe that any Republican elected into office will overturn Roe v. Wade, send your job overseas and force us to all to read Genesis for earth science class. Last I checked, we’ve had 3 Republican Presidents since the Roe v. Wade ruling in 1973 and, despite all the Dem’s rants, it is still intact.

  15. Can you imagine how long one of those bumper stickers would last on a car parked in West Hollywood? Or the number of square inches of paint that would remain un-keyed? The diversity/freedom of speech lefties would go out of their minds.

  17. There is always “Hope and Change” won’t pay my bills…won’t give me a job, won’t pay my mortgage, won’t pay my rent, will add to my taxes….

    or just use the Hillary campaign stop in Rhode Island….where she mocked “The One” about the skies opening, the sun shining in and we all join hands and sing “Kumbaya”

    With Obama’s Hope, all i will be left with is no change in my pockets..he will strip me of that too….and of jobs, create change like the worse economy since Jimmy Carter..and make that one look good….

    I say NOPE to that kind of change….and all I will have is hope that 2012 comes fast and Sarah Palin is then whooping Nobama in a landslide..

    I would rather bank on a McCain/Palin win in 2008 so I have hope for real change and an economy that will recover, independence in Energy and fiscal restraint in the federal budget and lower taxes. Now, that is change I can hope for and know will happen with McCain and Palin in charge….and elected President and Vice President.

  19. V the K,

    I have a Palin t shirt you might like, it’s simple, but pretty damn cool if i do say so myself, and I’m working on others. but since this is my first time working with Cafe Press I’m still trying to figure out how to match colors before I post it. (difficult since I cant see the tshirts or how the printing comes out) Hopefully I’ll have it up sometime later today, maybe tomorrow.

  24. Obama won the nomination over Hillary, because by the time they took him seriously, he had virtually a hammerlock on the nomination. The Clintons didn’t think the Democrat party would really nominate a community organizer with 143 days in the Senate to lead them. Remember Terry McAulliff predicted Hills would wrap it up on super tuesday Feb 6th. When she didn’t the Clintons had no organization for the later primaries or caucuses. Yet they routed him in 80% of the later contests. Now that Obama has a real challenger in the McCain Palin ticket, they seem befuddled that they now have to answer questions, debate, explain positions, etc. His disciples are insensed there actually has to be a vote and he can’t just be appointed by acclimation like at his converntion. Remember it was just last week he finally went on the O’Reilly hour. O’Reilly gets 1.5 million viewers a night, MSNBC gets 200,000. Now he’s out trolling for votes, because they’ve determined he can’t cross the finish line with just liberals.

  25. btw no one is talking about it, and in the respectable media I can understand why. But in the Democrat Primaries there was a Bradley/Wilder effect especially in states like PA, WV, MI, VA.
    For those educated in the public school system, the Wilder effect is when a black candidate runs, he/she polls 3-5% better than the actual election day vote totals. There are racist Democrats who when polled typically say they are gonna vote for the guy, but in the privacy of the booth, they don’t! It was responsible for a loss by Tom Bradley of Calif for the governors mansion. And the loss of I think a Governors mansion by Doug Wilder of VA. Both men were winning large in polling and in EXIT POLLS election night.

    If Obama Biden aren’t up by 5% Nov 1st look for a rout, that may effect the Congress as well.

  26. 6: So, does this mean people would have felt bad about voting for McCain had Palin not come on the scene? Or wouldn’t have voted for him at all?

    Gimmee a break….all this talk about these candidates representing real change is ludicrous – especially since McCain has ended up agreeing with the Bush administration about 95% of the time in the last 8 years. If he was running as an independent, then perhaps he would be believable. In addition, the changes he’s made on his positions (ie going from pro-choice to wanting to overturn abortion rights) to step further in line with conservative ideology make his claims about being independent completely suspect.

  27. What kind of “change” does Obama represent? Does he put forth any policy that isn’t a warmed-over version of seventies liberalism? Has he ever challenged his own party? Did he fight the corrupt Chicago machine, or did he just use it to get himself elected? Is he in anyway different from the Harry Reid/Nancy Pelosi brand of politics as it has been practiced since Bush took office?

    Boh parties are using ‘Change’ as a slogan, but the only one who comes close to meaning it is Palin.

  28. I know what kind of change he wants.

    He wants our economic system to collapse so that he can replace it with William Ayers (the timothy mcveigh of the 70s) “humane” system of gov’t.

    Maybe that’s why Fannie Mae loved giving him money:

    http://www.opensecrets.org/news/2008/07/top-senate-recipients-of-fanni.html

    This cycle, with Democrats in control, [Fanni Mae] reversed course, giving the party 56 percent of their total $1.1 million in contributions. Similarly, Freddie Mac has given 53 percent of its $555,700 in contributions to Democrats this cycle, compared to the 44 percent it gave during 2006

    Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have also strategically given more contributions to lawmakers currently sitting on committees that primarily regulate their industry. Fifteen of the 25 lawmakers who have received the most from the two companies combined since the 1990 election sit on either the House Financial Services Committee; the Senate Banking, Housing & Urban Affairs Committee; or the Senate Finance Committee. The others have seats on the powerful Appropriations or Ways & Means committees, are members of the congressional leadership or have run for president. Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), chairman of the Senate banking committee, has received the most from Fannie and Freddie’s PACs and employees ($133,900 since 1989). Rep. Paul Kanjorski (D-Pa.) has received $65,500. Kanjorski chairs the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Capital Markets, Insurance and Government-Sponsored Enterprises, and Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are government-sponsored enterprises, or GSEs.

  33. That bumper sticker would really anger some of my pals. (I might have to get it.) There are some excellent pro-Palin & McCain slogans on Cafepress and Zazzle for this election cycle. Check out the “hung republicans” (play off of “young republicans”) and “I’m voting for Todd” political buttons. Features Todd shirtless. LOL.
