    I’m not really that worried. How many other millions of tainted products have consumers purchased from China over the years?

    How about what this young (well, 26) guy remembers about cars…..

    1. People used to buy pickup trucks because they had a use for them, not because they were “cool”

    2. The Hummer was a military vehicle….like a tank or a fighter jet.

    3. Tune port injection

    4. Cross-fire injection

    5. Chrysler’s ‘K’ cars… icon_vomit1.gif My Grandparents had an Aries…

    6. The family car was a ’79 Olds 98 because mini van’s didn’t exist

    7. You could ride on your dad’s lap while driving thru town because no one thought is was unsafe

    8. Gas was $1.00 a gallon crybaby2.gif

    9. Air conditioning was an accesory

    10. Loud pipes DID save lives

    11. What Emissions?

    12. 1987-When Chevrolet had there first fuel injected truck icon_applause.gif

    Hillary is the devil and the root of all things evil. Not to sound racist, but I don’t think this country is ready for a black president. I feel that a lot of minorities look at Obama and see an Uncle Tom. I think he would be a good candidate, and is a head and shoulders above Kunich the anti-war hippie nazi.

    I still think Joe Lieberman would make a good Left wing canditate, too bad he’s not running this term….or is he? I liked his chances last time.

    I hate to say it, but with the way the real estate business is right now it makes me glad I don’t own. Granted, there are many advantages to being a homeowner, and right now is a buyers market, but if I wanted to refinance or sell I would be screwed.

    My old man is in the process of building a new house, I asked him his thoughts and he said “This is the last place place I’m gonna live, I’m never selling and it will always go up in value.” He is right. Real estate and land will always go up, but the common gentile needs to be able to afford it and I think that is one of the problems this country is seeing right now. Everything is too extravigant. Look at interest rates on credit cards, I saw on the news that the average interest rate is almost 20%, that’s crazy. That’s also why I don’t use credit cards anymore, more and more there getting people into trouble. The defaults aren’t helping society. That drives the interest rate up for everyone no matter how good your credit is.

    The Feds need to lower interest rates more. There are too many other factors coming into play that are messing with the economy, like……A BARREL OF OIL NEAR $100 AND GAS PRICES!!! Taxes need to be lowered to get more money moving in our economy. We need some new politicians with balls!!! I hate to say it, but the Democrats think they can do better I say give em a shot…..cause right now they couldn’t to any worse than what we got.

    Dump the Honda Element.

    I would also like to see the Chevy Aveo, anything Saturn, and the Cadillace Escalade EXT thrown to the wolves. There’s no reason Cadillac has to make a $70K truck.

    Any night is good, but I guess I would have to say Thursday is best for me.

    And all of this is directly related to the free trade act that sent millions of jobs offshore. It the main reason why I think Bill Clinton was a bad president. Nixon had Watergate, Kennedy had Bay of Pigs, but Clinton signed NAFTA that made it easier for business to move to cheap labor countries where no controls the business practices.

    I remember seeing that black late model Mustang with the 1H8RICE license plates at one of the local shows this year, maybe Edgerton? I’ll bet you my last dollar that he catches a ton of flak with those plates, especially at those shows where the Imports, Tuners, and Hydros show up in groups.

    Though I find that vanity plate funny, all I can say is that guy better be able to back it up on the street…..or he’s gonna have every Tom, Dick, and Harry with a fast import wanting to race him.

    Also, Russ Feingold would not make a great President either.

    He voted against the Patriot Act, enough said.

    Kucinich is a Nazi, just like Hillary. I couldn’t tell you which one is worse, but I have no interest in voting for someone who doesn’t have any balls to help defend this country nonetheless waste my vote by voting Left-Wing. Kucinich is an anti war activist, would Cindy Sheehan (the woman who makes an annoying spectacle out of herself by protesting the war because the son she gave up parental rights for died in combat) be his running mate?

    No one wants a war, but we were attacked first. I’m proud to live in a country where people are willing to fight and give there lives to protect my freedom. I salute them, where people like Kucinich, Sheehan, The Dixie Chicks, Sheryl Crow, Alec Baldwin, and the other members of Hollywierd spit on them when they return home.

    I agree our country is in shambles right now. It is time for a change. I have no problems with a woman being president, so long as that it’s not Billary Clinton. Besides, wasn’t she president two terms already? There is no reason for oil to be over $90 a barrel, or gas at $3+ a gallon. There is also no need to regulate firearms, argue about abortion, or raise your taxes.

    Both parties are guilty of something.
