We're largely Democrats, per the NY Times

I don't know how others feel about having to "register" to read a simple
article, but I never thought anything they had to say was worth the crap
they filled my mailbox with when I DID register years ago. Has anything
changed?

They don't fill my mailbox with cr*p. Of course, they might be sending it to my
old, long closed hotmail account, too.

Seriously, open an account on Yahoo or somesuch. Set the filter to dump
everything directly into the email. Use that email address when opening
accounts on web sites whom you suspect might ignore your express wishes not to
be contacted by email. Voila -- problem solved.

Me too! In fact I use the Firefox BugMeNot plugin, so I can just
rt-click my way into all of these kinds of sites without supplying any
(real) info!

You seem to have a reading comprehension problem. Here's the
paragraph in question:

But car buyers are also responding to the political images that come
with some cars. Some foreign car companies have marketed cars as
environmentally friendly, and some have at times focused on parts of
the Democratic base. Saab and Subaru were the first and most visible
to aim advertising at gay drivers.
Where in there does it say that the drivers themselves are Democrat or
gay? It doesn't. Learn to read. No wonder we're stuck with the
president we have now with people like you in the electorate.

(whew! and i thought somebody actually voted for bush!)

kindly engage brain before operating mouth.

if you bothered to read more than one paragraph, it also says:
"Scarborough also determined that Volvos were the most "Democratic"
cars, by 44 to 32 percent, followed by Subarus and Hyundais." which
is probably why the subject "thingie" up there at the top of the screen
said: "We're largely Democrats, per the NY Times".

getting to the "gay thing" it says: ""Saab and Subaru were the first
and most visible to aim advertising at gay drivers."

to help the comprehension-challenged out there, i will spell it out:
it is actually FUNNY that some people on alt.autos.subaru protested
sharply about being labeled as democrats, but pay little or no
attention to the comment about (saab and) subaru's advertising to gay
drivers.

times have changed.

now work on the really BIG words like d-e-m-o-c-r-a-c-y. you know,
that thing where everybody gets to vote and if the groundhog sees his
shadow, you'll have four more years of inflated defence spending...

and, by the way, not everybody on the planet is stuck with YOUR
president. (my apologies to the rest of the alt.autos.subaru newsgroup
for continuing the silly and off-topic political commentary.)

it says that subaru (and saab) drivers are "democrats" and "gay", if
you read the article.

Fine.

Kindly allow me to attempt to improve your reading comprehension by
once again reiterating my question: Where does the article say that
the drivers themselves are gay? The sentence you pull out talks ONLY
about advertising to gay drivers, not whether gay drivers actually
drive the cars. Capisce?

Your other comments aside, unfortunately the entire world is stuck

Maybe so, but the good news is that we're not stuck with Al Gore or John
Kerry.

Exactly, thanks to Bush fucking him over in South Carolina in 2000.
Why McCain continues to lick Bush's boots is beyond me.
