The Creepiness Factor: How Obama and Romney are getting to know You

The Creepiness Factor: How Obama and Romney are getting to know You. Figuring out if you lean Democrat or GOP and are more or less likely to vote based on what you drive, sports and primetime TV you watch, what you read, etc, etc. The graphics are hard to read, even at the website, but we’ll give you an example: Lexus owners lean GOP and are likely to vote, Plymouth (?) owners lean Dem and are unlikely to show up – the latter probably because their autos don’t run.

  • This is a bunch of b.s. IMHO. I actually really like Subaru's, yet only voted for a Democrat a couple times (if that). I also think Saab makes some nice vehicles too. I know a guy who loves him GMC's, yet has never voted for a Republican and lives off disability (I love people with nicer things than me who don't work). My uncle has owned jeeps for years now, yet is a die-hard Democrat.

    The only one I see that makes sense is the Mini.

  • I'm wondering how a chart of panty brands would look? Fruit of the Loom vs Victoria's Secret. I volunteer to help with the Victoria's Secret research.

  • Hmm. I own an Lexus and a Land Rover. I guess that means I'll drive to the polling place and then not vote.

  • I drive Dodge/Jeep products and have voted for a Democrat, but I'm old and that was before the Democratic party was hijacked by radical libturds.

    • lol gremlins are liberals? I always thought they were industrious and enterprising little scamps. I suppose today they'd be best known as fiendishly demonic, tiny terrorists

  • This is just the reason I do not use Facebook, Myspace or any other social media. The politicians need to know zero about me except when I put an X-Next to their names. A year ago I got a call for a high school friend about a reunion. I called the guy in charge and he said he thought I might have died since NOBODY could find me. That made my day. If you have to go out and seriously look for me, that is great. Next politicos will ask how your trip to the bathroom went, or hey you might want to drive the speed limit next time your out. I hate the government for just this reason. They need to know what I tell them, Nothing more. I pay my taxes, my bills, and shred anything and everything I throw away.

    Of course I won't be getting an invitation to help out Prince Obama since he already knows I spend time here and other conservative websites. That's also no ones business. All that information just opens you up to scams and identity theft. No one needs that.

    • Facebook, MySpace, ect, always reminded me of the Borg from Star Trek. Given the way advancements in technology are going, I think that is probably the future of our species. A giant, collection of people who think and do what the central hive mind tells us. But it will be for our own good, so don't fight it, resistance is futile.

    • i mostly avoid Facebook because generally my old friends annoy me.. Snarky.. shallow. Always entirely TOO happy. But i've returned a bit lately because of far-flung family

  • Over the years I've driven Plymouth vehicles and never have I voted for a Democrat. Now I drive a Dodge van and will certainly be voting Republican
    once again. Just wanted you to know :-).

    • It's hard to read but the graph says Dodge owners skew GOP and appear to be right on the borderline as far as likelihood to vote. I just found it odd that they included Plymouth in the graph since the model was discontinued in 2001 or so. There is no Oldsmobile or Saturn even though they were discontinued much more recently. I guess they go by the number of cars still being used? If so, maybe Chrysler shoulda kept making Plymouths if so many are still being used after 10 yrs.
