There is a Hummer H2 with a Barack Obama sticker smack dab in the middle, from Florida
and we're in Colorado. It's parked across the street from my parent's home.

Is this an oxymoron? *heads explode*

1. No...

the only way that person can continue to afford such extravagances is to vote Democratic.

2. Nope
I don't know why it would be necessarily. You can drive a gas guzzler and vote Obama.

3. Good. Makes sense.
Some people have to feel it in the wallet to open their eyes.

4. I always feel the same way when I see a Democratic sticker
on an import. "What would Wellstone do?" "Well, for starters, he wouldn't buy a fucking Toyota!"

7. Um, a lot of Toyotas and Hondas are assembled in America.

8. Hey. I gave American cars two chances. They failed to measure up.
I have kept my Honda for 20 years, because it DID measure up. And it is a more responsible choice than a gas hog, if you care about the entire planet.

Next car is gonna be a Toyota, probably. I'd consider a Ford Focus, but don't trust them to make a car that can last me another 20 years.

11. I love my Focus. It's my second.
Got 200K out of my first. This one's giving us 36 mpg.

5. Being a Democrat doesn't require subscription to DU 'group think'.
I am a registered Democrat and an unabashed as well as unrelenting loather of all things GOP. I also own guns, have a pitbull and there's a 4X4 Suburban with 33's on it in front of my house (I ride my motorcycle daily, tho). Strangely enough, many "liberals" have a very hard time accepting anyone that doesn't think EXACTLY like they do. I'm happy that they are voting (D) and I could care less what they drive.

6. Don Henley, the Boys of Summer...
Out on the road today, I saw a DEADHEAD sticker on a Cadillac
A little voice Inside my head said, "Don't look back. You can never look back."

9. I'd expect all those suckers to have Obama stickers
considering what Stupid's idiotic policies have done to the cost of filling their gas tank.

However, you are indeed blessed to have one of the sainted wealthy among you. Face it, he'd have to be wealthy to drive that barge from Florida to Colorado!

In any case, I don't care where a vote for Obama comes from, as long as it happens.
