Wow. Nice of you to shut the door in the face of some people maybe trying a new vote on for size. What a prejudiced inference - that people driving "tough trucks" can't agree with you on anything. Embracing divisiveness isn't going to fix any problems.

I don't agree with a lot of what the party stands for, but I'm giving them my vote. I know you probably won't appreciate my support either.

Visible BTD mojo for defending the purple.

I bet I've done more industrial, day labor jobs than either of y'all.

When there was need, I have rented many a truck. Even some 22-footers. I do think the actual owning of a gas-eating truck when there is not need is a macho affectation akin to displaying yourself in a Ferrari as you crawl through L.A. freeways. In Europe, most of the vehicles on the road are small, yet the home improvement stores still seem to flourish.

But that aside, my comment on trucks was:
1) a joke, and
2) an observation in support of my view that, his protestations to the contary notwithstanding, all the public signals that Toby Keith gives off scream Republican hardass.
