    If your cell phone is sitting on the dash of your two and a half ton SUV and you measure your fuel consumption in units of gallons/mile, you are proabably a republican.

    Please, more Clinton soccer moms drive SUV's than anyone else. They need it to take their kid and her friends to soccer..

    If your cell phone is in your jacket pocket and you are pretending it is a gun while you hold up a liquer store because you lost your factory job, you are proably a democrat.

    Thats just silly we all know democrats dont work thats why youre all for free drugs and welfare ;p

    If you don't have a cell phone because you don't want to feed a huge greedy corporate oligopoly you are a Nader supporter.

    I got nothin'

    If your cell phone is inserted in your boyfriends ass, you are either a Barney Frank supporter, a log cabin republican, or possibly just a seriously disturbed individual.

    or you could be This Guy trying to be something he is not...
