Reality Check needed: Republicans spent decades fighting against raising
the CAFE standards to increase efficiency in automobiles. Now Republicans argue that the auto industry should be allowed to collapse because it doesn't make the products people want to buy.

Do I have that correct? Just checking.

2. Its interesting
that the family values crowd would be so dead set against a worker taking care of his family via pension and medical care, and in the private sector to boot.

I can't get any of my conservative neighbors to answer the question: If its all the unions fault why didn't the auto industry fail a long time ago since the union and their "perks" have been around for a long, long time?

4. "Conservatives" are unfortunately Born that way.. it isn't a Choice, they lack 'Fluidity' in their
thinking because of Organic physical deficiencies in essential cognitive structures of the brain.

i am beginning to think THEY need to be put in walled Reservations and prevented from breeding, its the only way to humanely deal with them. we are all boomed if they are left to continue to Fuck everything
