Tough question... Especially since it makes no sense to comapre the two items -- considering most contemporary self-anoitned republicans confuse their platform with conservatism. 90% of these people have no idea what real conservatism is... 21st century conservatism is "do what I say and not what I do"... People in red states would rather elect a criminal who is pro-life rather than put anyone else in office. But then again the left doesn't offer any alternatives either! If anyone is going to declare themselves a republican, it should be mandatory to read the Federalist Papers and anything written by Thomas Jefferson (who if was alive today would probably be ostracized by the political establishment). At any rate, I've heard the foreign car sthick all my life. I was born in Detroit and raised in SE Michigan. Always took crap like the orginal poster for driving a "foregin" car. Over the last two decades there's been such a blurring of the line of what is a foregin car and what is domestic, that's it's become almost impossible to tell and anyone who says otherwise is talking out of their a$$. BTW, I'm a vet, I have a graduate degree, and I'm on my 4th Saab.. and probably a 60 on your scale. How many of the folks giving you grief about your Saab have served their country, volunteered time for charitable organizations, or held public office? Unitl they do, they should probably shut the f**k up and worry about things more significant that what car you drive.
