On Bumper Stickers

I know it's a long shot, but in case the owner of a silver Toyota Tercel that was driving on Maryland 695 near the 70 interchange at 6:18 this morning is reading this, I have a request to make.

Please take the O'Malley bumper sticker off of your car.

I don't want to see a Democratic car to swerve across two lanes of early morning traffic then slow down drastically, then by speed back up and weave through the same bunch of cars.  Damn near ran me off the road.

When you put someone's name on your car, you become their representative.  When I see you do something like that, I can't see that you are a thoughtful, fun, insightful person (as I can guess from your political preference).  All I know about you in that moment is what I can guess from your driving.  And what I can guess is that you're in a hurry, sloppy, and don't care much about other people's safety.

I expect rude driving from an SUV with a tattered flag hanging off the window and a W sticker on the back.  It fits in with their general lack of concern for their fellow Americans and the laws of traffic.

We're the Democrats.  We are better than that.

You didn't lose my vote.  But you might have lost all those others.

If your car wears my candidate's bumper sticker, please don't drive like an idiot.  You only need to do it for a few weeks.  You can speed back up on November 8th.  Remember, slower driving saves gas!
