Don't vote party lines in '08, vote brand loyalty
Based on what most of our presidential candidates have said so far, it's too early to tell what sets them apart. So if we can't learn anything from what they say, maybe we can glean ideas on their governance from what they drive. Of thirteen candidates noted, seven Democrats have nine cars, and six Republicans also have nine cars. Of those 18 cars, five are hybrids -- three of them domestic hybrids. There are 7 SUV's (well, 6 and a Jeep Wrangler). Mitt Romney, estimated to be the richest candidate, is the only Republican on the list with a Ford product, and that's a Mustang. Barak Obama, who recently chastised American automakers about fuel economy, drives a 300C. It is Joe Biden (D), though, that we really want to know about: he drives a 1967 Corvette. Can somebody get Mr. Biden on the phone, please?

Screw left/right. The republicans say you can have your money, but not your mind. The democrats say you can have you mind but not you money.
The real paradigm is liberty/tyranny, so I vote for the one to secure the most liberty, Ron Paul.

Democrat phonies will tell everybody what to do, but they think they're above the rest of us, so expect them to own multiple houses and cars, etc.
They talk environmentalism while they waste energy and spend other people's money--their specialty.
Amazing how so much of the public can't see through these limousine liberals who are so full of crap.
If necessary, they'll just add a Prius to their stables of cars so they can appear green.

I dont know, you guys give liberals a lot of crap about "spending other peoples money", but the Republicans havent been doing any better.
Nothing like turning a budget surplus into a record deficit.
Maybe we should stop letting them contol the conversation through polarizing hot button issues. Pointing fingers doesnt help when both sides are guilty of so many of the same things.

Farther down in the comments on that page:
Rep. Tom Tancredo: Police Package Impala with Border Patrol accessories.
Rep. Ron Paul: Buick Park Avenue Ultra SC (doctor's car).
Gov. Mike Huckleberry: 1976 Chevy pickup truck, straight 6/3-on-the-tree.
(no citations, so not sure if that's the real deal.)

Such naivety.
Which party created the biggest federal government in history?
Which party tells a woman what she can and cannot do with her own body?
Which party tells you what substances you can or cannot put into your own body?
Which party tells you who you can and cannot marry?
Which party thinks it's OK to spy on you (you got nothing to hide so why care)?
Which party thinks you shouldn't be able to buy cheap drugs from other countries?
If you truly value liberty and freedom then you won't be voting for that party.
