Stopped by the protest outside of Congress--great entertainment!

[Our man in washington]

I stopped by the leftist protest outside of the U.S. Congress today. They were protesting Bush's victory in the election.

The speaker was announcing that they had planned to send a mailing to 20,000 local Volvo owners saying "If you're smart enough to buy a Volvo, you're smart enough to know Bush stole the election." Apparently, Volvo wasn't too happy with the idea, so they had to scale that one back.

He then announced that the Capitol Police had gotten nervous about all the money changing hands at the rally. The rally organizers had been selling stuff. To the delight of the crowd, the speaker announced that all the stuff they had been selling was now free. The speaker said they had plenty of free condoms left.

I swear I'm not making this up.

I hope they were not Planned Parenthood condoms:

It just warms my heart to see leftists blow money on the dumbest s**t. When the demise of the left is written you'll find it in the comedy section of the bookstore.

Power to the Peepole!

I own a Volvo, and I am smart enough to have voted for W twice.

I drive a Volvo, with a Bush Cheney sticker on the back.

A few years back a free condom giveaway program in, I think it was Philly, had to be stopped because the individual condom packages were STAPLED to a sheet of instructions....

I am a Volvo owner. I am also a PROUD RIGHT-WINGER! Nuthin pisses the left off more than my American Flags on my new Volvo!

[peacebaby]

very funny! The circus is in town.

AMEN TO THAT BROTHER!

Years ago, I owned a '62 122. It went over 250,000 miles.

Is there a RIGHT-WING Volvo thread or group? I want to join!

[Red Badger]

Are you a charter member of VRWC?

VOLVO REPUBLICAN'S WANT CONDI

[handy old one]

These are the same people who couldn't dump water out of a firemans boot, with the directions written on the bottom of the boot.

[Gunrunner2]

Whaaa. . .yer joking. . .right?

[loborojo]

Count me in!

[peacebaby]

OMG! Volvo Republicans. Are you left-handed, by chance?

[Red Badger]

No, You can't make this stuff up!.....

[loborojo]

I am.

"If you're smart enough to buy a Volvo, you're smart enough to know Bush stole the election."

In 1981, I was in a car with a bunch of other commercial real estate agents on "listing tour day." One of them called me on my stereotyping owners of older volvos as liberals with bumper stickers. I made a bet with the other five guys (yes, we were six in a car) that the next older volvo we saw would have a liberal bumper sticker.

Well, we drove three more blocks, took a right, and a left, and there, on the side of the road was a parked four year old volvo. It had a greenpeace, ERA (equal rights amendment) and two other liberal bumper stickers on it.

I ate fairly well for a few days.

I love to stereotype - especially in front of liberals. They hate it so when I am right.

No way! That is the funniest thing I've heard in a long time. Even if it's not true, it's believable. :-)

[peacebaby]

Well, I'll be! i've never met a left-handed Republican! I swear! My theory was all left-handed people voted left. You're a first for me. Boy howdy.

[Red Badger]

I wish I could remember where it was. I remember talk shows of the time were all over it.......early 90's......

[loborojo]

Actually, I am ambidextrous. I hope that clears things up.

[Our man in washington]

But you are posting on a thread that was started by a lefty!

[SwinneySwitch]

Confess, you already knew it was parked there, didn't you?:^)

[armydoc]

"Actually, I am ambidextrous. I hope that clears things up"

I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous!

[peacebaby]

Noooooo. That complicates my theory even more.

[cksharks]

These people are so damn stupid that it takes 45 min for each one of them to vote,with a demmocommie filled out voting sheet.

[massgopguy]

I'm surprised by the Conservative VOLVO owners. When I was a Muscle Car guy we used to say that VOLVO stood for "Vehicle Owner Living Virtually Oblivious".

[peacebaby]

Oh, my. Busts my theory all to hell then.

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

It is overcast here so when I went outside to see if there was a full moon.

[loborojo]

Safe car for the wife, kids, and dog.

These wackos??

LOL

Nope, it said "removing this tag is punishable by law".

[peacebaby]

LOL back at you.

[rabidralph]

I thought William Marshall was dead.

[arizonarachel]

My fiance is also a left handed Republican. (He is veeeeeeery conservative!!)

I own two Volvos, both with Bush/Cheney stickers on the back. So there! ;-)

[peacebaby]

My world expands. Thank God for all you left-handed righties...and the ambidextrous one, too.
