Just glad to see that your voting. And I hope we are all still friends after the election. GM4Life and I may disagree about McCain...but we both love GM cars. GM FTW! Chris

Like 'Camino said, I have a BAD feeling about this. Chris

Whoever wins, I want a Pontiac in the garage. But I want it to be a Solstice. Chris

In some ways your right it is the lesser of two evils. However, even if Obama is terrible, I still feel like he is a step in the right direction. We need to start working on- 1. Environment 2. Deficiet/debt reduction 3. Alternative energy 4. Dplomacy, esp. in the middle east 5. Education 6. Health care 7. Equal rights fro minorities 8. Rights for gay people 9. Support for the working class All of which have been a part of the democratic way of thinking for a long time. Even if all we do is get the discussion started on these, it is a step in the right direction, IMHO. Chris

You are quite right, sir. Chris

+1 Chris. I actually really liked him in 2000. What is interesting is that I am reading some political books right now that were written 3-7 years ago, mostly from a liberal point of view. A lot of liberals back then really liked McCain. It would indeed be interesting if the McCain of 2000 was running now. Chris

FWIW- I don't like how negative his campaign is, I don't like him from a policy point of view, don't trust him on the war (I have a son who is almost draft age) don't trust his ethics, don't hear any real ideas from the man. I'd be open to voting for a Republican... but I've been following this thing for months and McCain just hasn't given me any real reason from a policy or leadership point of view to vote for him. Chris

Ford was a very good president, and Noxon had some very good policies. Ike was a wonderful president, and I would be proud to vote for a Republican president with the right kind of values. This whole reagan/Bush neocon mentality has GOT to go, though. Chris

This cost McCain about 6 or 7 votes amoung friends of mine. I'd love to know how many it cost him nationwide. Not that I mind, mind you...but... Chris

Agreed 100%. Given the Court and the 2000 election, I don't want any more republican choices appointed to Supreme Court Justice. Chris

Nothing wrong with being optimistic. Being visionary and believing in the future is part of being liberal/progressive. Being reactionary and fearing the future is part of being Neocon. Chris

+1 Bigtime. Put Warren Buffet in Botswanna and he would still be poor. The Rich are Rich in this nation largely because we have a stable, educated working/middle class. Hell, if I was rich the last thing I would want is for the general population to be poor. In the middle ages kidnapping of the wwealthy for ransom was common, and it still is common in Central America. It is in the intrest of the wealthy to ahve a stable working and middle class. Just more evidence that McCain, Bush,m Reagan, Rush, Ann Coulter, and the Neocons are dead wrong. Chris

...and you need what sort of evidence to show that Americans are fundamentally stupid? We elected Reagan and Bush... what more evidence do you need, son? Chris

Nearly every CTS owner I talk with just raves about the car. I can't think of a single owner group that is happier with their cars, given the people I've talked to informally. Glad yourCTS is working out well. Maybe if I get wealthy or my wife and I get the kids grown and out of the house, I'll fly to Vegas and buy one off of you. Chris

Every so often everyone builds a bad car. I once talked to a GM engeneer who worked in the crash test department. He said that they usually took apart and examined cars that Gm bought back as lemons. Apparently, poor dealer service and poor dealer toubleshooting of simple items is usually the culprit. From what he said, GM buys back about 400 cars a month, many of which are then used for crash testing or other "destructive" testing. So there may be a concrete barrier in the future of that particular CTS. Which is sad for me to think of any car dieing, esp. a CTS. Chris

I am a very hairy heterosexual and I love VW's... I want a TDI Diesel in the fleet like yesterday. Most of the guys in the local VW club are not Metrosexual. And most of the VW's I know of rarely break down. Chris

...or that old Johnny Cash song...the one where the lyrics go something like "I got a 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, automobile". Chris

No, your right, its not. No matter who gets elected I think the economy is going to get much worse before itgets better. You'd better get a cape and a phone booth, dave, as I think you'll have to play "super rescue hero" to more people in parking lots. Things are going to get MUCH worse. Chris

Maybe we could export these to the French! You know the old French battle charge...RETREAT! Couldn't think of anything better for failure or moving backwards than a Toyota powered tank. Chris

I would agree. The platform will need to be updated. Chris

Really? Why, an all seriousness. Chris
