Your car is making a political statement

I drive a gas guzzling 8cyl BMW and have never voted for a DemoRat.

And, I believe the BMW insignias are all the political bumper stickers that I need.

RightDemocrat is administrator of a blog geared to conservative Democrats. The blog promotes economic populism and traditional social values within the Democratic Party.

So you're a communist trying to teach values to a bunch of sodomites. Sounds like you should channel your energies in a more productive manner. Thats like trying to teach a pig to tell time.

And based on the car I currently drive, the idiots who love polls would get things exactly 180 out of whack.


Volvo huh?

[mlmr]

How many Republicans drive a Subaru Forrester. I believe this to be one devisive car.



Subaru Outbacks up here. All women driving Outbacks are lesbian in this area of the country. Athletic lesbians, no lipsticks here.

I have a Toyota that was made in Tenn.

I expect to keep it until it dont work no more, and then will buy the most reliable car out there, which hopefully will be made in the USA.

The only sticker on my car promotes my alma mater's football team.

voted for Bush, drive a Ford, no bumper sticker though...

Interestingly, a study was done over 30 years ago -- I believe it was 1972 Democratic Convention. A sociologist noticed the very large number of foreign-made cars there, versus the American-made that were overrepresented at the Republican convention.

Maybe shows something about loyalty & value system.

I say "nonsense." I see plenty of Kerry stickers on SUV's and I have personally only owned one "American" car that wasn't given me by a parent. I buy what is most dependable and economical.

[RightDemocrat]

Yeah, the Volvo driving liberals have been around for a while. Free vs. fair trade was not as much as issue back in '72 though. Most things were still made in the U.S.A. back then.

[RightDemocrat]

Don't be a meathead, Archie. Economic populists can fall on the right, left or center of the political spectrum. Many would regard Pat Buchanan as an economic populist. Does that make him a commie or even a liberal ?

The first vehicle that I ever bought for myself was a Dodge Dakota. I had learned to drive on my folks' '70 Plymouth Valiant and loved that old car. It got me through grad school, and when I started to look for a car of my own, I had a prejudice towards Chrysler products. I went to the dealership where my parents had bought the Plymouth, and the same salesman who always dealt with them sold me the Dakota. When it ran, it was a great truck. Unfortunately, its dependability was horrible.

My next vehicle was a Mazda B2600i pickup. My bad luck with my first American truck made me prejudiced towards Japanese vehicles. The Mazda's done pretty well for me over the last twelve years. I don't trust it as much as I once did, but it does well enough for most of my needs.

A couple of years ago, I bought a little used Saturn for daily use. I still have the truck for going to Home Depot and taking my kayak to the water. Otherwise, I mostly drive the Saturn.

The body style of my Saturn tends to make all bumper stickers look bad, so I tend not to put bumper stickers on it. I think I had a couple on it when I was driving around on election day getting returns for the party. Otherwise, it's free of bumper stickers. The truck holds bumper stickers fairly well, and I usually have one or two during election season. The truck also still has the bumper sticker of a candidate that I supported in '98 in a House election. I was his webmaster, and I was more a part of that campaign than any other in my life. I keep that sticker for sentimental reasons.

Being in the automotive industry myself, I have observed that hybrid owners are overwhelmingly left-wing democrats. And not very nice ones at that. They, to the one, are condescending, arrogant, rude & have a most frightful reputation among those in the biz. No one wants to help them because of the abuse that one has to endure. They do not hesitate to festoon their cars with the most hateful anti-Bush bumper-stickers around. Will attempt to engage in a political discussion then complain to management of what an intolerant rube they must deal with.

Not very scientific and painted with a very broad brush indeed. But in my world, very accurate.

California?

I have a SIL in VT who drives a Subaru Outback. She lives in a very hilly, dirt road part of VT. She is real pretty, married to a guy and very conservative.

She has the car because it best suited her needs, but almost didn't buy it for the political stigma.

To be frank, I have been looking at it because of my driveway....thousands of feet long and uphill...as a replacement for the SUV when the kids get bigger...but I understand it is marketed to lesbians in particular....and I am not sure I want that. So I am looking at all the options.

[mhking]

I drive a Jeep Grand Cherokee and a Saab 900S -- and as it stands now, I'll replace the Jeep with a Saab 97X when it gets to the end of it's life.

Your theory is all wet.

[Fierce Allegiance]

It's easy to dispell the myth with a couple good political or NRA bumper stickers.

I own all American cars, but then again I don't typically travel snowy dirt mountain roads. Mud season isn't a factor for me.

[kevkrom]

Ummmm... whatever. I alternate driving my Toyota Sequoia (family vehicle) and Nissan Sentra (commuting vehicle). Of course, my Toyota is likely to be more American-manufactured than most Ford owner's vehicles...
