Wow, this is what they spend their day discussing!?!?!? And here I though the Senate had other things to worry about! Silly me! I think it's kind of funny when I pull up behind a truck with the balls hanging behind. And the bumper stickers, who cares, freedom of speech is it not?!

What happened to free speach? Don't they have other things to vote on or do, like lowering our taxes?

This is not a vehicular safety of life issue that requires a law. Are they going to require that farmers set back their fences so that no one on the road can see bull or horse B@lls, or are they going to fine the farmer too? We're setting a dangerous precedent against freedom of speech / expression with this. After this passes it will be religious symbols next, you'll see.

WHAT? What Next no bathing suits, cover your dogs balls! You can run down a person on a motorcycle and kill them and get a fine for failure to yield but you can't hang a novilty from your bumper. When is this goverment going to go to work for the citizens of the state instead of wasting time with bulls**t like this.

We need Truck Nutz. Its one of Nature's warning signs (along with Playboy mudflaps) that a guy has infinitesimally small wedding tackle and a boorish sense of humor?

Oh for Pete's sake! Don't they have anything more worthwhile to discuss than banning Truck decorations?! How about they come up with some budget cuts so they won't have to come up with new taxes? Is this just another way they can make up taxes by fining folks for truck decorations? Shouldn't those folks offended by these decorations be watching the traffic & road conditions instead of staring at the truck decorations? I personally could care less if someone has those things, I'm too busy paying attention to what really matters when I'm driving. As usual, the squeeky wheel gets the oil....

Clearly our esteemed and august State Senate has already tackled our crime, education, environment, health care, aging, and infrastructure issues if they can afford to squander time on non-issues like testicular truck adornments?

What's that? They haven't? Hey, Senate! Stop fooling around with our tax dollars and fix the state!

I believe its time to tell these legislators that we will get rid of them next election. This is stupid! Discuss gas prices and taxes but discussing what legislators lack is offensive.

While I don't like the truck nuts, I think that people have a right to have this on their car. Otherwise, they'll start banning other bumper stickers, and that's just not right. I know people won't agree with my bumper stickers, but that's no reason to ban them.

The busybody politicians have nothing better to do than tell the sheeple how they should live their lives.

How pathitic is it that something like this actually comes up for debate?

Your tax dollars at work.

Ya'll remember Boss Hog from Dukes of Hazard? I bet if he was still around, he'd have a pair to go along with the bull horns on the front of his Caddy! LOL

If they're gonna waste our tax money, at least find something more important to discuss!
