Poll question: Has Hillary ever had to change a tire?
What is your best guess based on her lack of elitism?

1. As an Obama supporter - neither have I.
I don't think that's a very fair one to equate to her. I've been driving for 18 years, and I've never had a flat. That's not saying that we've never had a car that got a flat - it just means that it's never happened while I was driving or in the car. Just my luck I guess, and I"m sure after posting this I'll get one tomorrow :rofl:

But seriously, not one.

20. Factory installed, bald or hate to admit - Wal-mart
I've driven on them all. I'm not sure what my DH put on his car a few years back though.

And honestly, it's just been my luck. I even had a cracked axle once - and didn't know until I went to smelly mart (this was like 12 years ago) to get them changed, because they were completely bald (84 cavelier or something like that). They guy said I was lucky to be alive.

3. Her motorcade car broke down the other day
She pulled the engine out, disassembled it, and rebuilt it right there on I-70. After she was done she got out some folding chairs, cracked open a brewski and watched SportsCenter on her portable TV. Slowed down traffic a bit, but it was the most amazing thing I've ever seen.

4. I have never changed one either
so I can't judge her on that, or anyone else.

11. The one time my tire went bad I made it to a gas station.
The other time was in 2F on the Thruway. No way was I going to change it there. I knew a woman who lost her husband changing a tire on the busy highway. I waited for a tow truck.

This is just plain blather by the Obama supporters.

9. Air America was making fun of Hillary yesterday like she
was a Queen. She has not had to do much in the way of making coffee, shopping, or changing tires. She was in law school, then she was a govenor's wife, then onto the White House as First Lady, and then a Senator.

If the average women didn't have to do mundane chores they'd be very happy. Men have it done for them all the time.

10. She'd better learn - her campaign is going flat in a hurry.

12. Almost certainly not.
When she was coming along, it wasn't considered a job for a woman. It would be pretty cool if she had done that, I think. It's good for anyone to get his/her hands dirty on occasion.

But I've only done it twice in my life, and it would be hard to claim that it has made me a better person. I suppose it's just a possible indicator that I am not a complete elitist.

15. It's not an indication of anything important.
Give me a person who changes their own tire and I have a great leader? Bull.

21. I've never changed a tire
I have AAA and have had it since I was 16. Guess I'm in an elitist club.

22. She couldn't work the coffee machine
so I'd say no.
But to be fair, I've never changed a tire either.

23. Have I missed something?
I've personally replaced the battery and spark plugs in my car. Even so, I am about as elitist as one can be and still self identify as a Socialist. I guess I just don't understand where this latest bash is coming from? :shrug:
