With its fuel-economy standard, the Obama administration is not only trying to defy the laws of science, but also punish American consumers who prefer the safety and power of a larger vehicle to the fuel-efficiency and explode-on-impact qualities of the 1970s Ford Pinto.

I think they want to make commuting as economically unfeasible as possible. They want us packed into cities like sardines.

You’re correct.

I’ve long felt all the safety and emission and fuel economy regulation was really intended to drive up the price of vehicles and get average folks into public transportation.

RE :”Yet we stand for it. Time to fight back.”

Romney doesn't seem to be much of a fighter wrt individual issues, maybe because as Gilbo says, he really believes the same as Obama on most of them.

Republicans only have one good fight per year in them, and that was the ChickfilA support day. I think we have to wait a year for another.

I know Romney would never do this but the race sure would get fun if he picked Allen West as VP,.

” I know Romney would never do this but the race sure would get fun if he picked Allen West as VP,. “

I’m old enough (58) to believe anything is possible. Picking West, in my estimation, would be the smartest move Romney could possibly make right now. West would rip Obama’s head clear off, while Romney could(to his relief) stay “above the fray”. It would also obviate the proverbial “racism” moniker : )

did mittens eat a chicken sammich ??? didnt think so...

we *might* get another round out of em on the 2A and/or fast & furious this yr...but i would bet on a lukewarm, bi-partisan result in the name of *common sense*...

allen west would be an uncle tom on day one...the race card would be beaten over mittens head, for daring to turn the VP role into house slave, and last but not least, wests own shortcomings would be the only narrative that anyone would see, and his voting record is lukewarm, but has potential...

I think it was planned in advance by others, frankly.

They have been planning this for decades. Soros, and his ilk, the communists in the democRAT party. They are trying to do everything they can right now in a silent coup to overthrow the nation. They simply must win the next election or they're done and they know it. So expect there to be "unrest" in the fall.
