I didn’t make the decision to buy a Volt based on this type of[review](http://nlpc.org/stories/2012/04/06/ny-times-confuses-defenders-chevy-volt), but it sure makes it more fun

> The Times story is not the only cause of inner conflict for the gullible green crowd and extreme-left supporters of the Volt. The defense of GM because they are a patriotic company producing the American-made Volt must be just as paradoxical to the side that brought us the Occupy Wall Street movement

> The bottom line is that the Chevy Volt is a politically motivated car that is now being used as a campaign tool for Democrats.
