			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wow.  What the heck just <A href="http://irregulartimes.com/index.php/archives/2012/01/22/newt-gingrich-has-the-gop-truly-sunk-that-low/">happened in South Carolina</a>?  Voters there chose Newt Gingrich as their choice for Republican presidential candidate.</p>
<p>Newt Gingrich?  The politician who was run out of the House of Representatives in shame back in the 1990s?  They guy who blasted Bill Clinton for lying about cheating on his wife, while he himself was lying about cheating on his wife?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cafepress.com/irregularstates.598136105"><img src="http://progressivebumpersticker.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/floridaantigingrich.jpg" alt="anti-gingrich bumper sticker for florida 2012" title="florida against newt gingrich" width="229" height="89" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-839" /></a>Some people in South Carolina seemed to want to vote for Newt Gingrich because Gingrich has the ability to be visibly angry during a political debate.  Let&#8217;s get some perspective, though.  This is a presidential election, not a boxing match.</p>
<p>The last thing we need in an American President is anger. Newt Gingrich has a nasty habit of flying off the handle.  Is that really the kind of person we want to be in charge of America&#8217;s nuclear missiles?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s time to step forward and cut out the Gingrich cancer in our culture before it spreads too far.  Florida is the next presidential primary election state, and this bumper sticker is for voters there &#8211; get together with <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/irregularstates.598136105">Florida Against Newt Gingrich</a> &#8211; and stop Gingrich before it&#8217;s too late!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s amazing from a state where people have taken so much abuse and interference from Newt Gingrich, but just one month before the start of 2012, there still is no formal organization in Arkansas to combat the Gingrich&#8217;s presidential campaign.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cafepress.com/irregularstates.597524102"><img src="http://progressivebumpersticker.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/arkansasantiging.jpg" alt="southern bumper sticker against newt" title="arkansas against gingrich" width="305" height="111" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-808" /></a>We can&#8217;t afford to wait around for the central political powers in Arkansas to start to organize a response to Gingrich 2012.  You know how slow they can be.</p>
<p>Take this responsibility upon yourself. Be the first voice for <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/irregularstates.597524102">Arkansas Against Gingrich 2012 with this campaign bumper sticker</a>, designed especially for rational razorbacks.  Gringrich&#8217;s policies of promoting the financial elites on the backs of working Americans can&#8217;t be sustained in Arkansas.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Newt Gingrich wants to continue the economic policies that have ruined Indiana communities, while asking teenagers to bear the burden created by corporate greed. No wonder Indiana is saying no to Newt Gingrich in 2012.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Indiana is not one of those states you could call lazy.  It&#8217;s a manufacturing hub, a vital transportation corridor, and a source of agricultural bounty.  When there&#8217;s a need, the people of Indiana come together and put in some sweat to get the job done.</p>
<p>Hoosiers don&#8217;t expect to get rich from their labor.  They just want a basic, good life as a reward for their work.  Yet, more and more, a hard day&#8217;s work is not being rewarded with a fair day&#8217;s pay.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cafepress.com/irregularstates/168718"><img src="http://progressivebumpersticker.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/indianaagainstgingrich.jpg" alt="anti-gingrich bumper sticker" title="indiana against gingrich" width="290" height="117" class="alignright size-full wp-image-806" /></a>The corporate executives of the manufacturing plants that used to dominate Indiana have stripped the state clean of jobs, shipping them overseas to foreign sweatshops in search of a quick boost to profits.  The result is that the top one percent is making more money than ever, while the bottom 99 percent is struggling just to avoid financial disaster.</p>
<p>In the midst of this economic difficulty, Newt Gingrich comes along and tells Indiana that its teenagers should have to work extra evening shifts in the public schools as janitors in order to keep their schools up and running.  Gingrich wants working families to be the ones making more of a sacrifice, when the top 1 percent has more than enough to keep the system running.</p>
<p>Using Indiana&#8217;s kids to help balance the accounts of corporations that have outsourced jobs away is a step too far.  Indiana voters won&#8217;t stand for it, and that&#8217;s why, in the 2012 presidential contest, <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/irregularstates/168718">Indiana is against Newt Gingrich.</a></p>

However, Rick Perry also has a strong following among zealous right wing Republicans in Georgia.  Put this bumper sticker on your car to show that many <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/irregularstates.567626212">Georgia voters are opposed to Rick Perry</a> - despite what the loudest portion of the Georgia Republican Party wants outsiders to believe.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few days ago, a <A href="http://blogs.ajc.com/political-insider-jim-galloway/2011/08/19/channel-2-poll-rick-perry-takes-a-quick-lead-in-georgia/?cxntfid=blogs_political_insider_jim_galloway">local opinion poll conducted by Channel 2 Action News</a> found that Georgia Republicans favor Rick Perry over Mitt Romney by a margin of 9 percent.  In response to this news, one Georgia voter commented, <i>&#8220;I&#8217;m not saying Gov. Perry is ethically challenged but if it should turn out he is, well, that&#8217;s just icing on the cake. I am, however, saying he&#8217;s an idiot.&#8221;</i></p>
<p><a href="http://www.cafepress.com/irregularstates.567626212"><img src="http://progressivebumpersticker.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/georgiaagainstrickperry.jpg" alt="anti-perry 2012 bumper sticker" title="georgia against rick perry" width="253" height="94" class="alignright size-full wp-image-755" /></a>Another Georgia voter wrote, <i>&#8220;Rick Perry is just another Bush…..he&#8217;s working on getting big $$$ from the bailed out banks.&#8221;</i> Yet another said, <i>&#8220;Rick Perry is an idiot and so are the Georgians who support him.&#8221;</i></p>
<p>The combination of the strength of support for Rick Perry among Republicans in Georgia and the strength of opposition to Rick Perry among Georgia voters in general points to a struggle over the political identity of Georgia.  There are many who are seeking to bring Georgia forward into a future that embraces the rich culture and knowledge of the world, but there are others who are struggling to avoid any advance for Georgia, trying to keep Georgia tied to a brutal and ugly past.  </p>
<p>As a result, a large number of Georgia voters are appalled by Rick Perry&#8217;s extremist politics.  However, Rick Perry also has a strong following among zealous right wing Republicans in Georgia.</p>
<p>Show where you stand in this struggle.  Put this bumper sticker on your car to show that many <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/irregularstates.567626212">Georgia voters are opposed to Rick Perry</a> &#8211; despite what the loudest portion of the Georgia Republican Party wants outsiders to believe.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over at the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2214766799">Texas Teachers Against Rick Perry</a> Facebook group, CarrieAnne Faithfull comments, <i>&#8220;Beginning in 1999, then Gov. Bush and later Gov. Perry removed the tuition cap at public, state universities and now a college education is no longer affordable for the average family in Texas&#8230; Teachers will now be required to teach more students, teach more classes, work longer hours and have less time off for the same or less money. If you have children or pay property taxes, Gov. Perry cutting education funding does affect you.&#8221;</i></p>
<p>Jodie Brekke writes, <i>&#8220;Perry cut the budget, the Legislature cut education funds and teacher&#8217;s pay. It won&#8217;t be long before we have a huge shortage of teachers in Texas. Is this really the best move for Texas?&#8221;</i></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.cafepress.com/irregularstates.558750698"><img src="http://progressivebumpersticker.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/lidiotlepagestickerthumb.png" alt="Paul LePage L&#039;Idiot Bumper Sticker" title="lidiotlepagestickerthumb" width="250" height="150" class="alignright size-full wp-image-727" /></a>Mac Herrling of Orland, Maine sent this <a href="http://bangordailynews.com/2011/07/24/opinion/monday-july-25-2011-alternative-therapy-debt-and-police/">letter to the Bangor Daily News</a>: </p>
<blockquote><p>Our governor continues to amaze us with the vastness of his incompetence as chief executive.</p>
<p>He crudely undercut his marine resources commissioner by going behind his back to make deals with the fishing industry and punish perceived enemies in Portland.</p>
<p>His handpicked press secretary had to resign because of foreclosure problems. His environmental commissioner had to resign because of a serious conflict of interest but stayed around to lead another department.</p>
<p>His budget director overlooked an illegal sale of state property.</p>
<p>Without batting an eyelash, Republicans nearly passed a bill allowing weapons in the State House even after a first-term Republican almost shot a news photographer in Augusta. Meanwhile, the majority party passed new gun laws to allow employees to bring concealed weapons to work and public citizens to hide guns while visiting state parks.</p>
<p>LePage signed onto a prayer day proclamation sponsored by Texas Gov. Rick Perry without understanding its transparent political intent. Apparently, our governor didn’t pay attention in history class. This day of prayer is Aug. 6, the day we “Christians” bombed Hiroshima in 1945 killing almost 200,000 fellow human beings.</p>
<p>This is a governor who supposedly cares about “the people.” Which people? He refused to sign LD 860 that would have funded a low-income children’s summer free lunch program, but passed tax laws that primarily favor those making over $120,000 and penalized teachers and retirees for the state’s negligence of the pension system.</p>
<p>Anyone still want the tea party to run the state?</p></blockquote>
<p>That letter sums up how many of us feel about Paul LePage.  L&#8217;Idiot!  Let&#8217;s not let it happen again.</p>

Telling the NAACP to &#8220;kiss my butt&#8221; was just the beginning.  After holding hush-hush meetings with industry lobbyists, Governor Paul LePage laughed off the effects of chemicals leaching from plastics by joking (incorrectly) that &#8220;some women may have little beards.&#8221;  And then he furtively removed a mural from the Maine Department of Labor building because, to his surprise and dismay, it featured pictures of workers.  <a href="http://asmainegoeslolz.com/2011/general/return-our-mural-press-conference/">Artists and workers are joining together to protest</a> LePage&#8217;s conduct in the state capital of Augusta, appropriately choosing April Fool&#8217;s Day for the event.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re an artist, a worker, a woman with a little beard (or more accurately, a man with a shriveled ***-***), an environmentalist, a person who believes in racial equality or simply a person with a brain who believes Maine is too big for small politics, express your indignation against the tragi-comic reign of Paul LePage with one of these <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/irregularstates/170922">anti-LePage bumper stickers from Irregular States</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s a scary story about politics in <a href="http://www.irregularnews.com/states/virginia.html">Virginia</a>: Mike Huckabee, the guy who made the news earlier this week for repeating the <A href="http://irregulartimes.com/index.php/archives/2011/03/01/huckabee-kenya/">crazy conspiracy theory that Barack Obama grew up in Kenya</a> and was taught anti-imperialist ideology by his father there, is in <a href="http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/PPP_Release_VA_0303.pdf">first place of all Republican candidates in a new poll of Virginia presidential politics by Public Policy Polling</a>.  Mike Huckabee?!?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cafepress.com/irregularstates.204451048"><img src="http://progressivebumpersticker.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/virginiaantihuckabee.jpg" alt="anti-huckabee bumper sticker 2012" title="virginia against huckabee" width="290" height="188" class="alignright size-full wp-image-634" /></a>If you live in Virginia and you find the idea of Mike Huckabee as frightening as I do, there&#8217;s more that you can do than just sit in your home, behind a locked door, worrying.  You can make a difference.  You can, in your own small way, take a stand.</p>
<p>The next time you hear one of your Virginia neighbors praising Mike Huckabee, you can speak, calmly but clearly, explaining that Huckabee embraces too many irresponsible extremist policies to make a good President for all America.  You can then back up those conversations with this bumper sticker, which makes the simple statement that there are many people in Virginia who don&#8217;t support Mike Huckabee&#8217;s negative political vision: <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/irregularstates.204451048">Virginia Against Huckabee</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker likes to pretend that he&#8217;s pushing to reduce the wages of workers because unions won&#8217;t make concessions.  Unions have made concessions, though.  As one Wisconsin voter writes, <i>&#8220;Union public workers have made concessions to help ease the budget problems. This gov. just wants to bust this union under the guise of budget problems.&#8221;</i>  Governor Walker is ideologically opposed to unions, and he&#8217;s willing to put Wisconsin&#8217;s economy at risk in order to follow his abstract political theories to their ends.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cafepress.com/irregularstates.509604338"><img src="http://progressivebumpersticker.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/dw.jpg" alt="anti-walker bumper sticker" title="dump walker" width="200" height="95" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-617" /></a>Walker&#8217;s ideological extremism is impoverishing Wisconsin.  Just weeks into office, <a href="http://irregularnews.com/statesprogress/2011/02/wisconsin-walker-wrecks-high-speed-rail/">Walker has already turned down investments in infrastructure projects that would bring jobs to Wisconsin</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cafepress.com/irregularstates.508094147"><img src="http://progressivebumpersticker.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/waw.jpg" alt="bumper sticker against scott walker" title="wisconsin against walker" width="178" height="73" class="alignright size-full wp-image-618" /></a>Frustration with Scott Walker has boiled over as <a href="http://www.prwatch.org/news/2011/02/9944/live-reporting-wisconsin-protests">tens of thousands of protesters have filled Wisconsin&#8217;s streets for over a week</a>.  Wisconsin is regretting its decision to elect Walker as Governor.</p>
<p>Thus, these two bumper stickers.  You&#8217;ll see them on the streets of Madison, if you can lift your face out of your scarf in this cold weather.  </p>
<p>One expresses an opinion: <A href="http://www.cafepress.com/irregularstates.508094147">Wisconsin Against Walker: We Need A Better Governor</a>.  The other calls for action: <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/irregularstates.509604338">Dump Walker: Scott Walker Has Gone Too Far</a>.</p>
