21. Bush would rather put honor and dignity back into the White House...
He'd prefer to screw America up the ass, without lube, until bloody raw.

Seems to have done a dignified job of that so far. x(

14. It's reflexive, isn't it?
I have the same problem when I see a car with a Bush/Cheney sticker on it.

6. They're all in Oconee County, Georgia,
Edited on Tue Apr-19-05 02:51 PM by CottonBear
the home of way too many asshat RW Republican fundie businessmen.

:puke:

I had a client (medical doctor) who refused to pay his bill to my firm. I went to meet with him and get a check for the balance owed. He started screaming at me and pointing his finger in my face and called me a lying, cheating con artist (he's Nigerian. No con artists come from there. No offense to all of the nice Nigerians.)


Guess what he drives? A brand new H2. (I drive a 10 year old truck.) I hope that a huge tree falls on it or that a very localized tornado destroys it.

:grr: :nuke:

8. See them on a daily basis here in MD.
They're not going away here, though I do like someone's suggestion that Bush should get one or needs one.

10. Come to think of it.. I haven't seen one in a while, and there's a number
of local ones that I'm aware of, 2 of which even have that gaudy flag paintjob.

16. I saw a couple last week
Still two too many.

Most folks in this areas would rather drive pickups, minivans and lesser SUVs that those suckers.

23. Some moron in my office building drives one.
You really need something like that when you work as a bank executive. :eyes: It barely fits through the parking ramp entrance. I keep hoping he'll get stuck. :evilgrin:

25. not at all- the people who can afford Hummers...
can afford to fuel them up, too...

Hummer is still one of the most profitable lines for GM- they've spent $100million on production facilities, and introduced a new model for 2006- the H3.

27. There's a huge Hummer dealership in my city...
So unfortunately I see quite a few of them on the road. All in the suburbs, though. Not in downtown or the inner city.
