[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.

Exactly!
“The problem with conservatives is getting them to accept that an electric vehicle is not necessarily a left-wing environmental plot,” Lutz said.

It is a plot when it’s my taxpayer money that kept GM afloat, and prevented the onerous union contracts from being tossed out during bankruptcy. Since a healthy restructuring was not allowed to happen, GM still has problems. I will never buy a GM car, whether a Volt or otherwise. I love the way the left about the GM bailout being a success. They never count the tax breaks as part of the bailouts. Of course, who is able to take advantage of the tax breaks? The super rich who are the only ones who can afford the car, even with the tax break! It shows Obama can embrace the top 1% if they will buy the crappy Volt!

...and without the hundreds of thousands per car in other taxpayer subsidies, too.

Exactly. I am 100% behind their right to choose a Volt. However, I demand a similar right to choose a diesel powered 4x4 F350 crew cab. I don't believe the government (ie. us taxpayers) should subsidize nor penalize either purchase. That's freedom.
