Does that mean that only people who have buses come by their home will vote for Obama?
The only buses that come by our home are school buses, guess that means everybody out here will be voting for McCain/Palin. Having 13 cars would get him many votes here as long as he doesn't park them in the front yard.

How can the servants get their work done if they don't have transportation? Same for the campaign workers. McCain takes good care of his own. You can't fly to the grocery store.

Meaningless.

Shortly before I moved to Nevada, I owned three cars and a motorcycle (and yes, they all ran fine and weren't junkers in any way). At the time, I was single and living alone.

The number of vehicles a person owns has nothing to do with anything.

Are you saying that becoming successful is out of touch with the American dream?

Well, to a southerner picking the right person for president all boils down to who is most supportive of the 3 G's.

Do you wingers remember when McCain was trying to paint Obama as an elitist? That was three or four lines of attack ago. Just before the "Obama is popular" one. Ah, those were the days!

I had at one time:
Tahoe - still drive it daily
Maxima - wife drives it daily
Jeep CJ7 that I completely restored
1969 Corvette Stingray in mint condition (multiple show winner)
1979 Camaro Z28 in very nice driver condition
Stingray bowrider ski boat

Sold the jeep, vette and camaro to help fund my new house(2nd house I have owned). I have never made a six figure salary, no college degree (my field has no degree) never had an inheritance, and I am 36 years old with a wife and three kids. You can achieve about what you want in America with the right planning and hard work. The cars I sold had no outstanding loans to be paid off as well btw...and I accomplished all this under a tax rate of near 40% thanks to being partial owner/operator of a small family business.
I guess this means I should be paying out more taxes for the underacheivers.
