Liberal Hummer drivers?

Why? Can someone explain this to me?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=3312282&mesg_id=3312282

not in all ten cases.

Somebody owning a Hummer or somebody being snarky?

but think of the Hollywood movie starts who donate to Dem politicians and still driver HUMMERs.

...of disrupters?

Are you serious?

Sure I can imagine there might be one, I doubt it, but to think that 10 responses on a site this large could be statistically significant is stretching it.

To say asshole whenever they see a HUMMER. (Ever notice that that's how it's spelled, all caps- it just has to scream at you)

Yesterday we saw a bright yellow one with a vanity plate that read "DOKSWIFE". My daughter saw that and said Oh my God "FLAMING ASSHOLE!"

Got to say I was proud of her!

at least your kids are learning the value of fuel economy.

:thumbsup: to her!

I gotta admit, I like the look too. But I could never afford one, let alone the upkeep.

Hate the look, the attitude and the people who buy them.

Welcome to FUH2.com, home of the official Hummer H2 salute.

I never understood why it had such a huge tax break.

sometimes i can't make any sense out of anything.

Someone explain to me why these idiots don't just buy a regular Suburban instead of paying an extra $30,000 dollars for the Hummer shell on a Suburban frame and engine.

And at ten miles to the gallon???

I sure as hell would if that were the case.

If I wanted to drive a tank, I'd go to Iraq.

yes INDEED

I think they are obnoxious and ugly.

Hate their looks. Hate the insecurity they transmit like crazy. There is nothing positive about them in my book. They are dangerous to others and simply smack of egotism and selfishness. In every imaginable way.

Can you imagine what a pain in the ass it must be to parallel park one of those pieces of crap? They're a menace to the road and I have enough consideration for other drivers to not clog up the streets with one.

But I will never be able to afford one or the gas to drive it.

Not just ugly... FUGLY!

even ignoring the gas mileage. I think they're ugly.

I prefer fast and dangerous :)

Personally, I don't care for them myself. They're oversized pieces of shit. I'd rather have a classic VW bug.

...i'd drive a full size 4-door toyota tundra pickup with 4 wheel drive. that is what i really need, but i have settled for an old 4runner.

but no one but men with feelings of severe inadequacy seem to drive Hummers

I'm a liberal. I like to go deep in the Great Outdoors. I like to 4x4. If I could afford an H1, I'd buy one. Nice big Diesel H1... :D

So do not take it personally
I'm sorry if I offended you

I forget who it was.

He's not a liberal, but I don't think he has "small man" syndrome either. He says he bought the Hummer for the tax write-off.

:P

Besides, I know his wife quite well, and they BOTH really wanted that tax write-off.

I thought we were talking about the stupidass H2s.

:shrug:

A jacked-up GMC Jimmy with a massive skid plate underneath.

nowhere

Big old V-8 engine, leather interior, the works. He's politically liberal. As for my opinion on the subject of why, I will refrain from further comment other than I hope he's happy with his new vehicle. ;)

Same V8 engine and all. They get around 20MPH give or take.

They do drive up to the country about twice a month so an SUV can be handy.

That makes me feel a little better. All I could think was "big boat that will get 12 mpg" and that did not please me (internally anyway as I've learned to shut off my opinions with him or I will get yelled at). It has a trailer hitch and he wants to go camping in the future more, so hopefully that'll end up being utilized.

According to my dad at least. Maybe his calculator is broken. ;)

They seem to enjoy that kind of thing. :shrug:

If it's a forbidden name perhaps you could email it to me.

:hi:

I'll try to find the appropriate posts. Little turds. You'd think they'd have something better to do with their time, like hovering over poor Terry Schiavo's bedside.

"I believe leftists are so incredibly selfish, that not even LIFE is enough to make them value another human..even one growing within them. Hence the terms, parasite, collection of cells,etc. Anything to dehumanize the child growing within them so they feel no pain when disposing of a life inside them. They have speant their miserable lives convincing themselves that animals, plants, even fish are more important to consider than human beings. If it weren't so sickening it would be heartbreaking. "

Now what does that have to do with what car people happen to drive?
:crazy:

They are the ones who give the big bucks to our liberal politicians, too.

That is all.

like if you oppose war in Iraq perhaps you should consider driving a vehicle that doesn't use half of that country's oil exports every week?

:eyes:

BTW, on a side note - I once was behind a Hummer with a Kerry/Edwards sticker on the back. My head about exploded!

and a poster above who said my question reflected a narrow minded view of what it meant to be a liberal. Go figure.

As in a target, not a mount.

With a Kerry/Edwards sticker, and a "Somewhere in Texas a Village is missing its idiot" sticker.

I also saw a Prius with a Bush/Cheney sticker...

There are insecure, rich LIBERALS who can afford them too. And the gas mileage is absolutely splendid compared to my Freakin' jeep. I would take the 20mpg anyday.

I saw one parked nearby that was the size of a house. I can't see how that thing would have gotten more than 6-8 mpg.

recycle every scrap in their compact, energy efficient, solar homes. maybe they grow their own organic food and compost their yard and vegetable scraps. maybe they have socially responsible jobs and volunteer at the hospice on weekends. maybe they take their labrador retriever to the children's hospitals to cheer up patients. maybe they go door to door in election years to drum up support for the democratic candidate, then volunteer at the polls (or to drive people TO the polls in their hummer!).

maybe, just maybe, the hummer is the ONLY thing they are irresponsible about.

maybe.....

They're everywhere, just like to mess up polls for the fun of it or vote for an odd answer just to be different.

I know, because occassionally I'll do the same.

1n an auto accident in 1986 driving a Chevy. The car just crumpled up. Had Hummers existed at the time, and had I been driving one, I probably would have 2 legs today. I don't drive a Hummer today because I live in SF and the parking would be a nightmare. However, I did seriously consider it when I read that in a head-on the hummer will provide more protection than any other passenger vehicle. (I lost my left leg so I can still drive without any special apparatus.)

I DO drive a BMW, because it will not crumple up like tin in an accident as will most American and Japanese cars. (Yes, I know Volvo's are also pretty tough, I have driven them for many years, but BMW' 5 or 7s are still better.) Yes, I know Hummers (and SUV's generally) are not very safe driving vehicles because of tendencies to tip over at unsafe speeds, etc. But I lost my leg because of the other fucker, not me. I trust MY driving ability. I no longer can trust anyone else's. So I say bring on the Hummers if they can provide superior protection in an accident. And the more armor the better.

Sorry for going on at such length, but I feel strongly on the subject. I can feel phantom pains even as I type this.

I wonder though if a Volvo might not be better. They are supposed to be the safest cars, aren't they? I know SUV's are dangerous not only for the other person in the accident, but for the driver as well.
