"A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor and bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government."
-- Thomas Jefferson

Bipartisan Humor

In the midst of an election season, where so many are so divided about social and political values, it's easy to forget that we are all Americans who essentially want the same thing, a strong country where Freedom, Justice and Democracy serve as shining examples that the rest of the world will strive to emulate.

We may be divided on how to achieve those things, but we ALL, Conservatives, Independents and Liberals alike agree on the ultimate goal.We are the only nation in the world that has regularly scheduled political revolutions. It's ugly, painful, divisive and destructive, but it's also very, very funny. Let us also not forget to laugh at ourselves during this Quadrennial celebration of our democracy, for ultimately it is laughter that will bring us together as a nation.

Here is bipartisan list of recent bumper stickers that are clever, witty or just plain poke fun at our election. Enjoy!

-- "If you can read this, thank a teacher; if you can read it in English, thank a soldier."

-- "Don't steal, this government hates competition."

-- "MY kid wants to be President, I told him to aim higher."

-- "Politicians and Diapers need to be changed for the same reason."

-- "Work Harder! Millions on Welfare depend on you."

-- "Jesus was a community organizer, Pontius Pilate was a governer"

-- "Whose taxes would Jesus cut?"

-- "Barack and his crazy uncle for President!"

-- "The audacity of hype!"

-- "SNOBama"

-- "Obama, Right Candidate, Wrong Country"

-- "My grandparents are Republicans, but I still love them anyway."

-- "Only a Liberal could turn a Terrorist into a Victim."

-- "RIP Habeus Corpus: 1215-2006"

-- "Stevenson, McGovern, Mondale, Dukakis, Kerry... Obama, the Tradition Continues"

-- "RFTP: Republicans for Teenage Pregnancy!"
