Dolt...not Volt. DOLT!

Coal burner -- intelligent people know electric vehicles don't stop pollution, they just relocate it.

[Kickass Conservative]

If somebody wants to buy a Volt, I could not care less.

Just do it without the $7,500 Taxpayer funded down payment.

“The problem with conservatives is getting them to accept that an electric vehicle is not necessarily a left-wing environmental plot,” Lutz said. “They see it as a product of the Obama administration and a product of the green movement, and this is the result of government mandates. It’s taken on a symbolic role in the right-wing media as everything that’s wrong with Big Government, and yet, the vehicle was conceived by private industry.”

What a kLutz.

" Cavuto said, theorizing that spouses will fight over who forgot to charge their Volt overnight."

These sort of B.S. comments do not help. If the Volt isn't charged, it becomes a gasoline-powered car, instead of an EV. You could still drive it to work. The remark could apply to pure Electric Vehicles -- one of which, the Volt is not.

There's plenty to criticize the Volt for -- starting with the subsidies for buyers, the massive subsidies for GM, the high initial cost, and the (likely) high cost of battery replacement. Stick to those (and other valid) criticisms -- leave the bogus comments out.

If the Dolt was even half the car the Prius is, no government subsidies or mandates would be necessary. They would fly off the dealer show rooms. If it was truly conceived, developed and produced “solely” by private industry, it would have been scraped immediately (sort of a hybrid Edsel). They take a mediocre to poor vehicle and load it up with intangible environmentalism, guilt, ignorance, me-ism, etc. and try to pawn it off as being exceptional.

[Venturer]

It’s a piece of junk.

Damn right it’s a plot...to coerce someone into buying a $20k dollar 500 lb 1 gallon gas tank....

The real story should be the rise in traffic fatalities, a first in 61 years!

Cause, lighter and greener vehicles.

“We’ll probably see the Volt as a political football through November, and then it’ll go away,”

Is he predicting that Obama won't get reelected and that the Volt will go away? One can certainly hope that's the case. :=)
