Algore has an energy-hungry lifestyle at odds with his counsel to others to be frugal about their energy consumption. Liberals are different than the peasants because their virtue makes them entitled to have an exemptioion.

“Do as I SAY, not as I DO”. I would say “Liberal Hypocrite” , but that would be redundant.

Oh so typical.

And he doesn't really have any justifiable "need" for that tank, other than that it looks like a Mafia staff car. What's his hurry?

I can justify my 4WD SUV because we do a lot of camping and off roading and I haul my retrieving dogs to hunt tests miles down unpaved roads in it! AND it just has the 6 cyl OHC Ford motor in it!

What has Osama Obama done for the environment in his home state, other than emit noxious fumes from his over-sized pie hole?

I would say that the Hemi is one fast engine. The new Dodge Charger has them. My husband rode in a new one that a police officer has.

It seems to be the current liberal fad to dictate to the masses as if one is not part of the masses. Why would they do this? Are they like Brian Peppers?

What would Brian Peppers say to all of this? Could he relate to liberals feeling left out of mainstream society?

That last photo really is interesting. He actually has Vulcan ears.

They are reallu nice cars,but its seldom they reach 25 mpg.

I would say about 17 mpg is more like an average.

Still if a family wants a safe vehicle with power that can carry 4 comfortably, it the right buy.

But dont come out with this environmental horse hockey about being worried about not getting 40 mpg when you drive one.

Obama is typical of todays environmentalists who want to put me in a little death roller skate that hasnt got leg room for an 8 year old kid. or power enough to pull itself out of the way of an oncoming semi. While they ride in comfort and style.

Maybe when Obama starts buying carbon credits from Al Bore he will be ok.

They are the nouveau riche, the beneficiaries of affirmative action and other social policies, determined to hold onto their gains, at all costs. Weve had a revolution, and we can sure have another, if they are going to be so obnoxious.

Barack and I drive the same car! That’s one thing I like about him.

"I can justify my 4WD SUV......."

Well, I can't justify my Hemi Ram 1500 4WD.

Nor my '69 Hemi Charger 500.

So I guess I am just not the wonderful citizen of the world that you are....bad on me.

“the blame for the world’s higher temperature rests on gas guzzling vehicles.”

Any man who does not know that climates on all planets of our solar system are controlled by the sun is an idiot.

I have a supercharged V-6 in my Monte Carlo (Earnhardt Racing Package) and it gets 27.6 MPG combined!

Well, it does when I’m not speeding too much!

Any person over 35 who is still a Liberal is an idiot.
