If Presidential Candidates Were Cars, What Kind of Cars Would They Be?

   Bad call on the Hillary-DeLorean. Doc was killed by Libyan terrorists, not Iranian.

   The Bat-shit crazy comment on Ron Paul irks me. He's the only candidate that makes any sense, but he is shut out by the media.

   Ron Paul ain't crazy. The Batmobile might work in a save-the-country hero kind of way, though.

   Fred Thompson may have a hot wife (how did that happen?) and be on TV, but I find him repulsive. How about a 50's-60's gas guzzler that tries to act like it's worth something?

   methinks the Houstonpress doesn't think too highly of the GOP. Although as a conservative Christian Republican, I still think Ron Paul is a little nuts.

   i think ron paul is more like a harley. you don't see it advertised too much. but it's been the standard since day one. simple is good. where this dude gets 'batmobile' and proceeds to 'batshit' crazy is a blatant avoidance of the analogy Perry presented.

   Clinton is more like a hyundai...always following the public trends to be likeable.

   Obama? More like a Fiero. New, exciting at the time, but ultimately fell on the grounds that there were other exotic cars that have been developed over decades

   Edwards? Like a John Deer Combine. Looks like it represents the working class, but most of the working class can't afford it.

   Romney is more like Thompson's sports car. Looks great until you realize that your in the hole for a few years paying off something you didn't need to begin with.

   McCain's Hummer is pretty accurate I guess. I would say he's more like a Jeep, applying the same analogy, however.

   Thompson is definitely not a sports car, but then what I don't know.

   Not surprised by the usual hit on Ron Paul. Anyone opposed to the war is described as batshit crazy by state media.

   why isn't "tom" writing the friggin' blurbs that end up on the front page instead of the "I'm a dick who hates Ron Paul" guy?

    i agree with Tom. Ron Paul is by far NOT batshit crazy, more like the only sane canidate.

    but seriously though, why does Neatorama need to slander Ron Paul??

    @Tom: "Edwards? Like a John Deer Combine. Looks like it represents the working class, but most of the working class can’t afford it."

    Oh, spot on, Tom! Although he did get a $9 hair cut last time to make up for the $400 one ...

    @eyes and dave p: Lighten up! Ron Paul isn't batshit crazy but his supporters often are. The HoustonPress article made fun of *all* presidential candidates, not just Ron "Batmobile" Paul.

    batshit crazy is totally appropriate. the guy is a hardcore christian that believes this country should tear down separation of church and state, and has strong support among white supremacists, among other things. people treat him like an effing messiah but he's just a crazy theocrat.

    I think the Ron Paul/Adam West era Batmobile comparison is dead on in that the only people that really care about either one are deluded internet nerds that live in their mom's basement.

    not only is this post retarded, but most of the comments are too. i'm glad i'm not american if these really represent your opinions. if you took 10 minutes out to listen to that ron paul guy you should realise you've been extremely ignorant. if he doesn't win the 2008 elections - your country will carry on downhill with neo-con rule (democrats or republicans). welcome to the police state.
