Yes - slow drivers in the left hand lane can all be blamed on Obama - its a vast left-wing conspiracy

Ok - I'm done feeding the troll.

You are weak. That you failed to even attempt to counter my points is but said what you said is an admission that my logic is somewhat accurate.

Thanks for playing.

Couldnt agree more.

Honestly though Charlotte has pretty decent drivers for the most part.

but what i've found is that i adjust according to the speed limit (i usually go 10mph over). Lots of drivers ignore the speed limit -- going 50 in a 35, and then 50 in a 45, and continuing 50 in a 55.

I've found that it is very common for people to get upset, as if i'm "preventing them from passing", when in reality I am just demonstrating more awareness of the speed limit than them.

I had one a long time ago, but found it made it too difficult to eat my breakfast, read my newspaper, text people, and check my stock quotes on my laptop on the way to work in the morning.

They do it on purpose.

They believe the speed limit is the speed limit and if they are going the speed limit, you need not get around them. IF they are going faster than the speed limit, they think they are going fast enough and you don't need to go any faster. And if they are doing it to you to prevent you from breaking the speed limit law, they are somehow justified in their mind for breaking the law about camping the left lane.

Basically, its someone else deciding for you what you can do. Generally, I think all the people that do this must be democrats. A republican or a person who is conservative by nature wouldn't be concerned with what you are doing, they are only concerned with what they are doing. And they'll gladly get out of the way so you can get about your day and they can too.

On the other hand, Democrats are always looking at what others are doing with a critical eye. Why should you get to go faster than them? What makes you so special? To spite you, they'll jsut get in the way of your progress. How do you like that? The ironic thing about this thought process is what makes the democrat so special so as to be able to justify regulating the road for you and taking it upon themselves to determine how fast they will let you go? Because they see themselves as so special, they don't get the irony.

Basically, they have nominated themselves hall monitors of the roads and they could give a rats butt if you like it or not.

That's why I say, just die. F those people. And if my wish came true, we would not only rid ourselves of annoying left lane drivers, but of Democrats, too. Utopia!
Uh....... what?

Please, please, please tell me you don't seriously believe this and were just taking a jab at liberals. Please?

Meh. Both parties try to impose their will on you in the form of laws.

Democrats impose their will on you by proclaiming it will help society.
Republications impose their will on you by proclaiming it is the moral thing to do.

Both do so in the form of laws that either tax you or restrict your freedoms (even more). This is likely why the Tea Party has been gaining traction lately.

what the hell does politics got to do with driving

moderator note:
if your trying to post something as a fact then you need to
document your fact with a reliable source or state its your opinion.
if you call someone a troll like a few posts earlier you run a
chance of being reported so I strongly advise you send me an
apology before its reported and I enforce the tos
Calling someone a troll is a personal attack
