But once again, not all Democrats believe in no SUVs no matter what. I certainly don't I don't have that much of a problem with someone with a big family or someone who has to cart around a lot of stuff on a regular basis. I also don't have that much of a problem with ones that are relatively fuel-efficient (like the Honda CR-V).

It's the glorification of the SUV I can't stand. Most people who have them don't need them, and that's a waste. But they're a status symbol and a part of the American psyche, thanks to marketing on the part of the automotive companies and a refusal on the part of many Congressmen (mostly Reps) to disincentivize them.
