  1. It's that so many people are more concerned with the dash material being more soothing on their ass then their regular hemeroid cream instead of whether or not the power locks/mirror/seats/radio/dashboard will continue to function properly after 25,000 miles. Sure the dash material is soft, but scratch it gently with a fingernail and see how great it looks then. My ex's Passat had the smoothest 6-cylinder this side of BMW, but it had a reliability record that would make first gen Kia's blush.
  2. *Pushrod 3.5 liter was available to fleets at launch.
  3. Pennsylvania. usury laws don't mean much when all you have to do is incorporate to get around them. so yes... usury laws have been repealed.
  4. usury laws were repealed long ago.
  5. The G8, G8 Ute, Park Ave and Caprice are already developed.
  6. I"ve heard about that VW seat heater thing before.
  7. DUDE!!! PLEASE!?!?! Please Please Please! We are just going back to Clinton era tax rates! Please just acknowledge this!!!
  8. You discredit yourself with the crackpot $h!. Remember how we used to treat Buickman? He is a crackpot even if the occasional idea of his ideas have merit.
  9. I thought men like you were usually called a fruit.
  10. Since you weren't listening, and I suspect you won't read this post anyway, but here it goes Transcript on Ayers from the 3rd debate:
  11. When people have nothing left, that's what they cling to. You're twisting his words.
  12. You're being a hypocrite. Phil Gramm, Ted Stevens, the rest of the Keating 5, William Timmons - Saddam's former lobbyist, Sarah Palin's pastor does exorcisms, Sarah Palin's husband is a former secessionist, As for the rest.... please format your posts, it's hard enough to make sense of them as it is.
  13. I think Hillary would have something to say about that.
  14. You need to explain why. 1. We've debunked your "not a citizen" claim. 2. "Pals around with terrorists" - served on a board with a former, washed up terrorist 3. "Supports voter registration fraud with ACORN" - no he doesn't. Every suspect voter registration form that ACORN notices is flagged and sent to the SoS for verification. Even if a few rogue acorns registered Micky Mouse, will Mickey show up to vote? I think not. Voter registration fraud is a red herring. So... what else scares you about him?
  15. I used to be at least open to the idea of McCain. His actions over the past 24 months have soured me to him. He has become a hypocrite, dishonest, and dishonorable. John McCain of 2000 I could have voted for.
  16. 1. McCain's Spend and Spend policy will put this country in an even worse position. Run away inflation with a plumeting dollar will be the cause. When Warren Buffet and Paul Volker (the guy who really ended Stagflation, not Reagan) support Obama's economic policies.... I'm going to err on the side of Paul and Warren. Who does McCain have as an economic adviser? Phil Gramm... the guy who engineered the law that helped make this financial mess possible. 2. Clinton tax rates didn't "spread the wealth". Returning to them won't either. 3. The next President, regardless of who it is, will be tested in the first 6 months. Obama's calm, cool, thoughtful, character is who I want at the helm. Not someone who is going to jerk the wheel right for no good reason.
  17. I was impressed with him when he spoke at the 2004 convention. His calmness is a wonderful relief from the "ZOMG!!@ TEERORITSSS ARE GONNA KILZ US ALL!", "ZOMG!@!!! REGULATION IS GOINA KILZ US ALL!", "ZOMG!!!!@#! ......" mentality of the Bush admin. As I've said before, if McCain of 2000 were running, I would have a difficult choice. It would have been a difficult choice in 2000 if it were McCain v. Gore. His actions since then have been erratic and against just about every core principle he claims to possess. What is so scary about him? I mean, is he going to eat your kitteh or something? Worst case scenario is he raises taxes and tries to negotiate a peace with Iran through diplomatic means. The Ayers thing is a non-starter. The ACORN thing is a non-starter. Even if a few rogue ACORNS registered Mickey Mouse.... do you really think Mickey is going to show up to vote? I shall. I'll subscribe to this thread and we can revisit it in 4 years.
  18. Please read what I posted already. It is NOT big because it is NOT true. Fact check first, post second.
  19. and it was a good thing too.... George Bush was submitting people like his cleaning lady Harriet Miers and other politically motivated appointees. I think that Obama will rate an appointee on terms of competence and ability rather than loyalty to himself. Considering John McCain's "mavericky" pick of Palin.... I'd shudder to see whom he'd pick for the courts. Fact check first, post second. "When productivity was measured by the hour rather than by the total number of hours worked, however, Norway, an oil nation, was the most productive, followed by the United States and France, the organization said in a report released over the weekend and published every two years. It mostly used 2006 data." I most certainly can. If the point is about taxes and "socialism". Look at what the higher taxes the Europeans have pay for. Deutche bahn is PROFITABLE! I can link you to death on the high speed rail thing if you want, but suffice it to say that any medium haul flight could be replaced with high speed rail and will have lower costs, better efficiency, better environmental impact, and sometimes even faster trips. I'm happy to start a new thread with you on this one if you want. Just know what you'll be getting into. A healthier population costs less and is more productive. There will be an initial spike in costs, but then things would settle down.
  20. What year? I hear the '03s are a bitch, but they got everything sorted out by '04. I had no trouble with mine either other than a flaky sunroof dial replaced very very early in the car's life.
  21. Joe the Chair.
  22. Or not..... All of the hubbub around Bush's tax cuts for the wealthy was about the wealthy getting a larger percentage tax cut than every one else. 1. Obama will not be able to change the make up of the court at all. He'll replace liberal justices with liberal justices. 2. Those protections to privacy and equality.... does that cover abortions and gay marriage... or is it just privacy for conservative causes? Europeans on the whole, have better transportation infrastructure, better telecommunications, better/cheaper healthcare, better education, healthier populations, while at the same time having equal productivity and a healthier work life balance. We have.... richer CEOs. I suggest you look into the German healthcare system. It isn't perfect, but it's pretty good and costs a lot less than ours. "Although the government regulates the process, it is administered by myriad health insurance providers and is financed chiefly by a combination of employer and employee contributions.[citation needed] The government also subsidizes the cost of Statutory Health Insurance for the unemployed.[citation needed] It partially reimburses the costs for low-wage workers, whose premiums are capped at a predetermined value. Higher wage workers pay a premium based on their salary. They may also opt for private insurance, which is generally more expensive, but whose price may vary based on the individual's health status." Consider that this could also replace medicare/medicaid. It would fall right in line with Obama's "Do more, more efficiently, with less" mantra.
  23. SRsly? In the event McCain croaks, you think Palin would run the country better?
