No. I keep politics out of the workplace, and I work with way too many liberals who park in the same garage as me and know my car.

I saw a study the other day and I am trying to find it, but basically it said that people who have bumper stickers are 50% more likely to be opinionated Aholes.

Back in the early 70s I caused a number of people all over the mid-west to go into paroxysms of laughter with my bumper sticker. My personalized tag read BALDY and right next to it the bumper sticker read Bald is Beautiful. When people saw my head some of them nearly came out of their cars.

I have never used a sticker for a political reason, though. In fact, I threw one from Romney away just yesterday.

Same with the Seattle area. The oh so tolerant liberals here will vandalize a car with any conservative bumper sticker.

That explains 1/2 of the morons around here with Obama, Kerry and Gore stickers still on their cars.

I guess the other half of the morons have Bush and Romney stickers? If that is your conclusion, I think that is fair.

I always wanted to put a big Santorum sign up this primary season to see what would happen to it...

No. I value my car way too much to see it vandalized. Besides, bumper stickers are tacky.

Wow. I am surprised to see those who come into a political forum who do not express themselves politically. Maybe some areas it is better to leave it off.

I do. I don't put bumper stickers on my vehicles other than political. When Ross Perot ran , I made up a sign and put it on my lawn.

I also support the democrats and republicans locally, depending on who they are and what they stand for.. The mayor of my town was democrat and I supported him with a sign on my lawn . He acted more like a republican and kept our homeowners taxes lower than the surrounding communities. He left after years of service and we again have a democrat for mayor.

I also have people than I know personally that put the sign on my lawn and know I support them. They don't even have to ask and they are republican.

The "psyche?" Ummm, I doubt people put that much deep thought into it.

I have one bumper sticker on my car, only to cover a nasty ding/scratch some jerk gave me a few years ago. I'm too broke and apathetic to bother fixing it, so I've just kept a sticker there instead! I did have an "Adopt" HSUS sticker there, but it recently started to peel and fall apart... and since the only other one I had handy says OBAMA 2012 (given to me at a fair), I am now one of those psychologically-questionable folks of which you speak. Luckily I don't care how you'd interpret it, and about 70% of my neighbors will likely be voting for him too - so they probably won't care either.
