Old political bumper stickers

On my way home last night, I saw someone with a John Kerry bumper sticker on their car. In the last year, I also have seen faded ones endorsing Al Gore in 2000 and Bob Dole four years before that.

I feel like asking these people, "Don't you feel like a dork?" Seriously. In Dole's case, it's been 12 years since he ran for president. Even if he beat Bill Clinton, he would be out of office by now. If Gore won, he would be in the same position as George W. Bush is now if he were reelected in 2004. Kerry would be vying for a second term. All of it is irrelevant because none of those events actually happened.

Here's an idea: Peel off those dated stickers and support John McCain or Barack Obama — a candidate that actually can affect our future.
