“HONK if you’re paying my mortgage”
The Tennessee Republican Party takes on the federal mortgage entitlement mentality.
I’m buying one of these bumper stickers today (though I’m a renter, I like their message).
From the TN GOP party press release:
The Tennessee Republican Party has released a new bumper sticker designed to let people express their frustration with the relentless march by the Obama administration and the out-of-control Democrat Congress to enact endless “bailouts” and “economic stimulus” packages that are pushing America trillions of dollars deeper into debt.
The sticker, which reads HONK if you’re paying my mortgage, is available on the Tennessee Republican Party’s website, www.tngop.org, for a small donation to the party.
“If President Obama gets his way, the 92 percent of American homeowners who pay their mortgages on time will be forced to do with less in the future so that the Obama administration can use their money to reward banks that offered bad loans to customers who had no business accepting them,” said Bill Hobbs, communications director for the Tennessee Republican Party. “Government has no business forcing one American to pay another American’s mortgage. It’s time for the Obama administration to stop the bailout madness, unshackle the economy and the creativity of the American people by reducing personal and business taxes and cutting government red-tape and interference in the economy, and let the free markets work.”
Amen, amen, amen!
Too bad the Beltway Republicans — who either buy into the housing-as-civil-right mentality or are too intimidated by the ACORN mob — won’t do the same.

From commenter twofoot: “Shouldn’t it be, “Honk if I’m paying your mortgage”?
And from commenter tre: “I’m paying their mortgage. But they’re not paying my rent. Something ain’t right here!”
Exactly.

Shouldn’t it be, “Honk if I’m paying your mortgage”?
I thought they have that backwards too. I respectfully suggest “Honk if Obama’s paying your mortgage.”
I’m paying their mortgage. But they’re not paying my rent.
Something ain’t right here!
Good grief, TN GOP, don’t tell John McCain you’re doing this – he’s probably been looking for an issue like this to exploit against his party and get him get back on the MSM’s/NYT’s “good” side!
Dadgum! I don’t have a mortgage, we own the house! Besides, I like twofoot’s idea better!
Say, if we’re paying their mortgage, shouldn’t we be able to stay in their homes if we need lodging sometime? Think of their homes as a hotel. We are paying for the night, so we should get to stay in their homes at no cost to us.
Ditto. Wife and I have been happy to rent for years waiting for the right time and situation to buy a house.
Looks like we will continue to rent the way things are going now.
But never fear. I would be willing to bet there will be some kind of bailout for those that want to go from renting to owning a home they can’t afford in the next few months. I mean, the government is giving out free money anyway. Right?
Hey Tennessee:
Beep Beep, Honk. Go Orange.
Actually we no longer have a mortgage but I like going
Beep Beep, Honk.
DBNinKY : I have a few things to tell ReachLeft McCain but the little Napoleon never answers my letters. The SOB IS still soliciting me to contributed to his “Sell Out America Again” re election campaign so I always send him a five centavo coin.

Yes and many others’.
O/T but related
Obummer unveiled his 10 year budget idea.
He says he wants to make investments in the future. Yep – stealing from your children is sure (negatively) investing in their future. Making sure there is no incentive to earn lots in USA sure encourages (negatively) to ensure people in the future have jobs. Making sure nobody accumulates wealth in USA ensures anybody with wealth moves it away.
Nutz!
The trouble is – Obummer isn’t paying anybodies mortgage. He’s having us for his room and board and then having us pay the mortgages of all of his friends (spelled Obummer voters)
twofoot, et al: Actually, “Honk if you’re paying…” looks about right, it does have an O symbol on it, so they WOULD be the ones who support him and we are going to be paying their mortgages!
I guess we are going to have to violate some noise ordinances in our civil disobedience.
HONK, HONK!!
I’m sure it will help them in school also. Work hard and learn so that you can work harder at work to pay for all the lazy dumb kids mortgage.
Obama’s way ahead of us on this issue!
Well done Tennessee Republicans! I hope Juan McCain and the nat’l GOP do not take to the Sunday talking head shows to denounce you again…
I want a bumper sticker that says “My other house is a Navigator!”
how about honk if you want to pay for a mortgage other than your own…bet you wouldn’t get too many homes…
Pretty soon, we’ll all have bumper stickers with nothing to put them on…
ooops “honks”….
Here is a great game to help vent your frustration!!
Not really, but you get to slap people who are asking for handouts.
I slapped all of the bailouts (homeowners and businesses) and approved money for research and infrastructres improvements and won the game! I was kind of surprised…I figured that giving all of the money away to anyone who asked for it would be the way to win the game.
I’m offended by this bumper sticker. It’s obvious the TNGOP is making fun of Obama’s honkie half.
I’d go with
Honk if I’m paying YOUR mortgage.
But they all work I guess.
Where do we get some?
lmao…
good one
No, I guess that will not do, maybe Barney Frank and lgm, but no I guess I should not post it. Can we talk about his other half and half?
Better go check the TNGOP link where you order the bumper stickers online.
Notice something missing from the web page where they ask you to enter your credit card number?
Like the URL is not secure (not an HTTPS url).
Roll the dice, I guess.
Michelle Malkin rents? How come? What do you mean? Why don’t you buy a house?
Just wondering.
The way I figured it, with your exposure on Fox, and book sales, and whatever your husband does for a living, I assumed you were pulling in around 5-10 million a year.
Am I wrong?
Does anyone on here have an educated guess how much Michelle makes each year?
What about Drudge? Just curious. I hope it’s a lot. But, why do you rent, then?
Where and when I grew up it was considered rude to ask about people’s finances. Just sayin’…
You’re absolutely right. But I figured since they are public figures it wasn’t quite as rude as it would be with someone you know at work, for example.
*Here in Tennessee we soundly rejected P-BO and his Obamanomics back in November, going GOP in 93 of the 95 counties; When talk of secession starts to surface, Go Vols!
*Some other bumper sticker ideas for the TN-GOP:
**O Crap
**Press 1 for english; Press 2 for deportation
**End The Barack War Now
Some of us don’t buy into that public figure crap that some judges do. Somethings are personal and should remain so. Like old Ann Landers said, when someone asks a rude question, you should say with a smile, “I forgive you for asking, if you forgive me for not answering.”
Bumper sticker seen on Chris Matthew’s car:
“Honk if you love Obama’s glistening pecs!”
Because I am very cheap, I drive a very old car. It isn’t a classic, it is what we used to call a “beater.” That sticker will look just perfect on it, even if nobody is really paying my mortgage.
I’m a fan of this sticker too…

*Bumper sticker needed for my car:
“My other ride is Ann Coulter”
Me too. My son graduated, got a job and bought a new Honda Accord so I have the beater he had through school, a rusty 1997 Crown-Vic police cruiser, (reconditioned title) . My three Honk stickers arrived today and I just now put one on – just above my McCain/Palin sticker. Perfect!
