Who would have thought it? Given the flack the Chevy Volt has received at Republican hands over the last few months, former Republican president George H. W. Bush dealt the Volt attackers a serious blow, deciding to purchase one of GM’s extended range electric cars.
The Volt, which has become a symbol of all that’s wrong with the Obama administration according to a number of conservatives, might finally be getting a break. In addition to Bush Sr.’s purchase of a Volt (for his son Neil), there’s growing sentiment among the right that the car might not be that bad after all.

most of us live within our means, and some of us even drive small cars to do that. I got a new Camry, small enough? I could almost bought two of them for the price of a Volt.

You’re right, but none of that makes him less of a douche for buying the car.

These elites have no concept of market economics. 99% cannot afford a stupid decision to buy a $50,000 lemon that goes 12 miles before blowing up.

So what, big deal. Jim DeMint, Paul Ryan and Mark Rubio have also endorsed Romney. Does that make their right to vote invalid or something?
Don't forget, you and your kind are not the regulators of the entire free world like you think you are.
The rest of the world goes on without you. If you want to influence it in any way, you will have to stop making yourself look like a completely cynical and anti-social jack wagon.
