He was refering to you cons, dragging our country ,our reputaion and our good name down to the level of savages, with your torture.


Not about air safety.


What would you brave cons say if a jet was blown up, killing Americans.


You would make it the center-piece of your campaign and of your very existence.


Is anyone surprised a con would try to exploit our post 9/11 situation for cheap political jerk-off purposes?

. It's well known that people who clearly couldn't afford mortgages were being led to believe they could.

Sorry, I dont buy it. If someone doesnt know their own finances well enough to know what they can afford they are too dumb to own a house. One woman wanted to sue her mortgage broker because she took all of the equity out of her house to put down a $200,000 deposit on a $1 million Vegas condo. She lost it all. Her income? $15 an hour.

Well, I agree with you but the point being - it happened. Heck, in 2004, I can remember being told by a realtor (whose wife just happened to be a mortgage broker) that I should speak with his wife...that she could get me financing...gave me her card. I didn't follow through, primarily because I knew my financial status at the time precluded me from being a home owner. I have no doubt there were others who bought into the idea, both literally and figuratively. At the time interest rates were low, but getting an adjustable mortgage turned into a disaster. I can't imagine that ever being a good idea.

'nuff said.

Aaaand the problem is?

It sounds like something out of a Lifetime afternoon movie.

Well, the quote was not provided in context, so there is that to consider.

Perhaps, rather than criticising the words provided, one should criticise the poster for providing a quote in a manner that suggests something other than how the words were originally spoken.

I am curious though...why do those who don't like Obama express their dislike in such hateful terms?

quote:

Many of the posts I see are so visceral in their response, whether it's a thread they initiate or a response in a thread.

I'm not saying you, in particular, Aylee, just all those who express themselves in this way.

How about this - we elect a president whose words mean something

Let's say that a company like Peterbilt had the opportunity to pick up the GM Truck division, and slap their badge on the nose. Create a product people really want (and a hell of a lot of people would want a Peterbilt pick-up), they are going to get creative, and find a way to make it happen.

Now that is a nifty toy, Thom.  Honestly, I wasn't even thinking of these needledick compensators, though.  Just the name recognition, the badge, and some styling cues on the hood and fenders would do the trick. Just build a better quality product, than when Dodge reworked the fenders on the Ram 15-20 years ago. 

A cusory glance at a studebaker truck would indicate that the dodge work over is the same with a little mascara.

This from your cite.

So what does all this mother trucking cost? Our four-wheel drive crew-cab truck cost $52,171 from GMC, add the Monroe conversion that contributes a pickup bed and almost countless options (dual exhaust stacks, rear-seat DVD, leather seats, power-folding rear bench, hitch camera, adjustable rear air suspension, power-retractable tonneau cover, aluminum wheels, chrome grille), and the TopKick can climb to about $90,000. More-basic versions can be had for closer to $70,000, which is far less than a Hummer H1 and only a bit more than an H2. Faced with those choices, the TopKick looks almost rational.

Compaed to that 30 year old kw at $55,000 the kw seems inexpensive in comparison.
I would like to buy that old kw but I am a little short...do you think he might spot me the $50 k I am shy?[:(]



I could have said Mack, of course, but I love the look of a dressed up Pete.

You gotta be careful with those macks. About every 600 miles or so they just shut down and come to a complete stop while that little dog on the hood hops down to go water down the tires. Once he has cooled off the tires he hops back up on the hood and she will start again.
