I'm not sure what you mean by "more to lose" but my experience says liberals are more destructive and vicious when they find someone who doesn't tow their line. Your use of the word Repug in an otherwise civil discussion I give as an example.

My incidences did not happen in Texas. I've only been back to the State for the past ten years or so. The automobile damage occurred while living in Maryland and the property damage occurred in New Mexico. Regarding the job discrimination, I would rather not provide details of such a serious charge in an anonymous forum.

I also live in Atlanta and have seen probably 20 or more Obama 2012 stickers. It actually was pretty surprising to me. I go to Whole Foods a lot though and Trader Joes and I see them a lot at these stores and in the surrounding neighborhoods.

City of ATL is pretty Democratic though. Obama or ANY Dem candidate would have to do very well there to counteract the REST of Alabama, oops Georgia.

I've seen Dems called much worse on this forum. I think that you're bluffing about the job discrimination charge. Is your case so specific that someone would know that it's you on an anonymous forum?

From Wikipedia....

According to the 2010 census, the racial composition of the city of Atlanta was as follows:

Black or African American: 54.0%
White: 38.4% (Non-Hispanic Whites: 36.3%)
Asian: 3.1%
Native American: 0.2%
Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander: 0.0%
Some other race: 2.2%
Two or more races: 2.0%
Hispanic or Latino (of any race): 5.3%

I do agree with this but I still am pretty surprised whenever I see the stickers.

And I know Atlanta is majority black. Most people know this. I am black (but not a Democrat). I actually responded because another poster, Georgia Dem, said that he/she had only seen 3 in Atlanta. I live in the city and see them quite often. And just to let you know, pretty much all of the Obama 2012 bumper stickers were on the cars of white people. Atlanta's white population (in the city itself, not metro counties/cities) is one of the largest growing populations in the area. Most major cities lean democratic though, Atlanta is no different and I have no doubt that Georgia's electoral votes will go to the Republican candidate. But I actually do see the same amount of Obama 2012 as Obama 2008 stickers that are still on cars driving around. I have also seen 3 yard posters for Obama 2012, pretty large ones, so that was quite surprising as well.

Every one of those cars are a target for vandalism by Americans.
