    Actually, JP, I WAS referring to CNBC because they were interviewing the new
    Pay Czar, who refused 12 invitations from Fox to appear on their show. NBC
    is NBC no matter what letter appears before it. You should know that from
    your Ebonics classes.
    If you are so up to date and know both sides, can you tell me the down side
    of the Farm/Environmental Bill that your girlfriend, the great Nancy Pelosi
    is DEMANDING be passed by the end of next week? Why does everything have to
    be rushed through Congress before it can even be read and digested? This
    one is 1000 pages NOW. Have your TV stations told you what it will do to
    the American economy and how much it will affect the price of operating the
    farms, which of course translates to food prices?

    Do yourself a favor and watch some Fox News so that, in the future, you
    won't look quite as stupid when someone asks you who in the hell you voted
    for. As for me, I voted for the American.
    Maybe I'm mistaken but you appear learned and therefore probably aren't
    looking for a free ride like most Obama voters are looking for. That
    probably means you are either from the New England area or are a young,
    idealist who hasn't learned anything yet. If you are neither of those, than
    I truly feel sorry for you and your offspring (God forbid).

    I too would gladly vote for a third choice if they had a chance of beating
    the Democratic Fascist party.

    I've voted for the third parties often. If enough people did, the other two
    would really take notice and perhaps get their stuff together.

    LOL There is nothing funnier and scarier than someone who doesn't know how
    stupid they are.

    I didn't make an error. Educate yourself. You are only entitled to an
    informed opinion, not regurgitating right-wing talking points.
    No, stupid, it was all three of them. (That's Reagan and both Bushes.) The
    Republican agenda of deregulation and greed is good, and **** you I got
    mine.

    Sorry 631 where was it you said "the other side of the story" again?
    After reading about all your other extraneous stuff the answer escaped me.

    I'm afraid I don't know about the Farm/Environmental Bill that you refer
    to. I googled farm bill and didn't come up with anything that seemed
    relevant and then I went to the govtrack/congress/search bill and didn't
    find anything there either. Do you have an HR #? You certainly will
    get no argument from me that Congress is not doing there job and that
    goes across party lines. The business of Congress seems to be to get
    reelected and anything else is a bonus.


    If I watch Fox News then I will know who I voted for? There's so much I
    don't understand. Perhaps I should watch them.

    It sounds like you think there was only one American running in the
    last election but I can assure you that with a Supreme Court, who has a
    majority of it's members appointed by a Republican, I think it's highly
    unlikely that a non-American could be nominated, no less be elected, as
    President of the U.S. (At least as a Democrat). I now that sometimes
    certain constitutional issues are kind of winked at but ....

    I kind of have trouble following the logic in your last part. You say
    I appear to be learned and not looking for a free hand out (thank you I
    would like to think you are right on both counts), but then you go on to
    say I am either from NE or a young idealist who hasn't learned anything
    yet. Being neither of these, and since you are from the Athens, GA area
    and also not a young idealist it sounds like we are in the same boat. I
    appreciate your empathy and wish to extend my sympathies to you and your
    offspring. I know how hard it is to accept someone so antithetical to
    be your President but look on the bright side. At least you aren't a
    heartbeat away from having Sarah as your president.

    You might have had a good start there, but when you dove down to the gutter
    with the "gas guzzler" crap, you completely lost any credibility with your
    points. It would benefit you to examine the numbe of GM vehicles that got
    over 30 mpg for the past several years, and how that number compares to the
    competition. For all that GM has screwed up, gas mileage is not among the
    list of bad moves. But then again - it does feel good to type "gas
    guzzlers", dosen't it?

    Your statement that it was the fault of Bush and the Republicans is
    completely false. Any thinking person knows that and the data supports
    that the Democrats played a huge role staring back with the "New Deal."
    Read some history. It is very interesting.

    First, it was Bush, then it was Reagan, now it is both. Do you have a
    4th lie to share?

    You sure as hell substantiated my point if you don't know about the bill
    that is now being vigorously debated in Congress!!! See what I mean about
    the networks you watch? Ever watch the Senate or House proceedings? My
    guess is NO. Once again, you Dems with your head in the sand won't find out
    what is going on until it is too late and then you'll spend your time trying
    to blame it on Bush even though it's being done right now by YOUR Congress.
    Your type is the reason this country is going to hell!
    I guess you also can't see the maneuvering that is and has been going on to
    position the country to grant amnesty to 20 million illegal aliens. Once
    again, when it's over, you'll say 'How did that happen?'.

    I was wondering when you would jump in, Mike. I know about GM with their
    claims of all their 30 mpg cars but 30 mpg really doesn't cut it in the land
    of $4 a gallon gas, which is where we will end up again. The HHR is a great
    little car and we have one in our family but it SHOULD be getting 40 mpg. I
    just don't believe 30 is the magic number we'll be looking for. Personal
    opinion.

    Grant, Grant, Grant,
    There you go again.
    I try to educate myself by asking WHAT THE HR (this stands for House
    Resolution)# IS and you just want to rant. How can I educate myself by
    reading and familiarizing myself if you won't even tell me what you are
    talking about? So I will assume that this is a Rush Rant that piqued
    your interest and aside from maybe retaining some of his "facts" you
    don't really know jack about it. I have tried to address your points
    but you seem to only want to hear yourself talk and not reply to any of
    my questions. If this is incorrect then please tell me where you said:

    1 Where did you say "the other side of the story"?
    2 Do you have an HR #?
    3 If I watch Fox news I will know who I voted for?

    If you need some help with the answers -
    1 As regards this thread I didn't.
    2 Hmmm no
    3 How the hell would Fox news know who you voted for?

    Perhaps you could get your news from Colbert and Stewart because it
    seems that you just aren't enjoying life right now.

    I do appreciate some of your posts about Hyundais so keep up the good
    work.

    As I've said on previous posts (and arguments with you) that when 40-50 mpg
    is the norm in Europe, to say 30 mpg is good here is calling us a third
    world country. Please don't bring up the emissions copout since Europe is
    more Green than we are. Hell, my Sedona, just like yours, gets 30+ mpg.
    For a little car like the HHR or Cobalt to get the same mileage is sick.

    Hey, I just visited the new Chevy website and the Cobalt is being claimed to
    get 37 mpg!! Now that is quite an improvement and I stand corrected. I
    think Fiat and the Ford Fiesta will both force even more advances in fuel
    mileage in the coming years. They might even put enough pressure on
    Congress to adopt regulations to allow European diesel technology into the
    US and THEN we will truly have oil independence.

    I'm not helping you anymore to avoid watching Fox to get the other side of
    the story. When you find out what I'm talking about, you can cry on my
    shoulder. I'm not making anything up. It's for you to find out.

    Curiously enough, the Cobalt with Auto transmission gets 4 MPG less than the
    stick! That is very unusual in today's advanced automatic technology.
    Usually the auto trans' are getting the same or maybe one mpg less than
    stick, but 4?????
