Man Proves to Newt Gingrich that You Can Put a Gun Rack in a Chevy Volt
It's amazing how fast people react these days. While campaigning in Suwanee, Georgia, a couple of days ago, Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich attacked President Barack Obama on his plans to increase subsidies for alternative fuel-powered cars.
