Thanks to the Internets, we all have a place to make our views heard. No matter how insane, stupid or just plain odd those views may be.
We can also quite easily turn our opinions into t-shirts, bumper stickers, yard signs, hats and what not to sell for profit.
Being that this is election season, loads of people are putting their beliefs on any type of swag they can get there hands on.
Here's some stuff for sale right now on CafePress that I just don't get.
For those who are a walking contradiction.
While I love this design, placing the star right on Palin's who-ha is inappropriate. Unless you think that the placement of the star reinforces Palin's anti-abortion beliefs. Wait, what?
The mind who invented this slogan has got to be foaming at the mouth with all the government bailouts this week.
I imagine he/she just uploaded a new sign with NoBush at the end.
Here's something that is guaranteed to get your ass handed to you if you were to wear it anywhere but the GOP convention or a Klan rally.
And even those places the yellow color might get you slapped.
Yeah!!!
So what.
Don't go there. Just don't.
Hey America, lets not pawn our views on the newest members of our country. Lets at least wait till they're out of diapers to warp their minds with outlandish BS.
I don't even think Jeni Gump would wear this, even if she believed it to be true.
A Republican hippie? Even McCain would say he's not.
McSpears? Come on Democrats. Palin's smarter than Spears, give her that much.
I don't think you want something on your car that advocates group sex or fisticuffs with the GOP ticket. Especially given one's an old guy and the others a woman.
This is something that I imagine frat boys were saying during Palin's nomination speech.
Yeah...murder!
The lamest reason of all to vote Democrat.
When you don't have anything smart to say you bring religion into it.
As I finish this entry it occurs to me that we're only the middle of September.
People's opinions are bound to get more wacky and strange.
So look forward to a second installment come November.
Lastly, my search couldn't be complete if I didn't point out 2 designs I really liked. Now these would get my money, if my bank didn't just go bankrupt.

These products make me sad...
Wow. It'd be interesting to see how some of these are actually selling. And by "interesting" I probably mean "disheartening."
Could the "McCain/Spears 2008" one be a pre-Palin reference to the McCain campaign's use of Britney in that head-scratcher of a TV ad equating Obama with "celebrity"? Either way, though, pretty thin premise for a t-shirt.
I love this stuff.
I had a friend who back in the original Bush era had a t shirt that said 'Lick Bush in 88' (get it? Wink Wink). At work they made him turn it inside out cause of the clever double entendre (a French term which means talking dirty like).
I worked with a chic, who was highly doable btw, who had a shirt, and when you read it from the back it said, 'On the other side of this shirt are two of the biggest boobs you've ever seen', and on the front was a picture of Clinton and Gore.
During the DNC I saw a guy wearing a T-Shirt with a picture of Obama on it and it said roughly, 'This Black Man is Running, And it Ain't From the Police.'
That shirt would make me sad.
The running from the cops thing? Why? The dude wearing it was black. He was making, I suppose, a statement about how far we've come.
Wow, nothing like spending hard earned cash to make yourself a political retard.
I don't know, all the political "humor" shirts I find pretty tiresome.
I have a Ralph Nader shirt that says 'Vote Ralph Nader' on it and it gets laughs all the time.
How right you are Friggan,
how right you are.
wow American elections are hostile
we just have websites that have puffins pooping on the opposition
I wore my Yesbutnobutyes T-shirt once to a parade and people would read the shirt and laugh not knowing what ybnby is but knowing me assumed that it was something smartass.
I wore my YBNBY t-shirt, and got jumped by Ralph Nader who was coming from a parade.
I jumped Ralph Nader during a parade while wearing a Hillary Clinton Tshirt.
Unnis novi corpi sunnis ovum opelati fornom tate
Raph Nader is my Bitch would make a funny t-shirt.
I thought it would make a funny tatoo, and it was for a week.
Now I don't know what to do with it.
I jumped Hillary Clinton for wearing a YBNBY t-shirt at a Ralph Nader parade.
Would say Hillary is your bitch then?
I want a shirt that says, " want me to get naked and start the revolution" ?
Vote Jack Black for president!
Also CLC, what do you mean 'jumped'?
E - "jumped" you know, a beat-down. Like what Ike did to Tina. Like what James Gandolfini did to Patricia Arquette in "True Romance". Like what Merrill Lynch did to my stock portfolio.
Now I got it too...
What Dave forgot to tell us is that he wore the shirt to a gay pride parade--so it just added to the confusion about his sexuality.....
Kidding Dave--I'm just jealous I haven't won one of those things yet!!!!!!
But...but...Hitler DID give great speeches. That's why I voted for him. It certainly wasn't for his woeful foreign policy plans at the time!
Sarah Palin is anti-Moose.
Way to make democracy into a load of "trend crap"
What's next? Obama g-strings at victoria's secret? Palin brand tampons? McCain's face on packages of depends?
I'd say something about Biden but honestly Who the Fuck is Joe Biden?
"I'd say something about Biden but honestly Who the Fuck is Joe Biden?"
What about shaping him into a butt-plug? Who cares?
SP--Scaramouch isn't too good for g-strings--Obama should feel the same way!
and Cindy knows I'm talking about the gift shop merchandise....
Leo, A butt plug?
you want to put joe biden in the same category as baby jesus?
Let's not mix politics with religion... It's controversial...
Or better saying, religious butt plugs and political butt plugs.
The difference between religious & political butt plugs, in my opinion, is the political ones belong in the mouth. Anything to shut those dames and dudes up.
Obama thongs - done.

Better that than McCain granny-panties.
Oh sweet jesus, they're turning the election into another f-ing holiday where i have to buy presents arent they...
This Presidential Election brought to you by Abercrombie & Fitch.
You should see obama's website, there's like a whole "designer" section where fashion people have made things for the campaign. A lot of them look cool but it certainly does feed into the whole elitist message he's trying so desperately to downplay.
