What a doofus!

I haven't owned an American "Branded" car since 1963, and have never voted democrat.

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

[cripplecreek]

I have 3 Fords.

I think he's onto something, EVERYone I've met who is driving a Volvo is VERY environmentally oriented and a VERY liberal supporter of Kerry.

My car is a 1995 Ford Escort with 224,000 miles on it. I just did a cross-State drive and got 34 miles to the gallon.

And I have NO political stickers on my car, other than a sign on the dash that says "Veritas vos Liberabit."

[MikefromOhio]

I own a Chrysler AND a Jeep...

by the way, most Toyotas bought in the USA were made in the USA...

In some cases, Hyundai or Toyota cars ARE MADE in the USA whereas some Dodge (Mexico) or Ford and Chevy (Canada) are not....

[DameAutour]

What about all the black people with the cadillacs?

[digger48]

I own a 4X4 Ford 250HD pickup= 10-14 mpg and
a Honda Civic 33-42 mpg.

What statement does this make? You'd stand a better chance of identifying a Democrat from a Republican by studying their stool samples.

[claudiustg]

I drive a Honda Insight hybrid and a VW Vanagon Westfalia. I voted Republican in the last three Presidential elections and am an NRA member.

I notice certain patterns also. But what I just shake my head at is huge SUV's or Hummers with Kerry/Edwards stickers. I just say a prayer that someday they'll get a stronger grasp on reality.

I don't understand the American car industry. We should be the best in the world. It seems like folks get lazy and don't produce anything new. Then when their back is up against a wall they invent something that people can't get enough of...like the new Mustang or Chrysler 300C. I don't know why they can't do that all of the time.

[ChiMark]

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

[TADSLOS]

Nice first post and screenname. I predict you will be towed off the Free Republic lot any minute now.

[Originalist]

So what does my F-250 Supercab diesel say about me?

[Dashing Dasher]

Do you like Cheese?

[Dashing Dasher]

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.

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

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.

[MoochPooch]

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.

[WFTR]

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.

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.

[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...

[Smokin' Joe]

Just for fun, the herd:
1 Oldsmobile
1 Buick
2 Fords
3 Internationals
2 Hondas
2 Chevrolets
2 Lincolns
1 Mazda
1 Harley-Davidson
1 Toyota
1 GMC

The Bush sticker is still on my '75 Chevy van....

I own a Ford, I voted for GWB, and it's a total coincidence. My choice of cars had to more with 0% financing, than anything else.
