Ha Ha....Republican Governors Refuse To Help Mittens By Proclaiming Recovery....

[jhale667]

You think McCain would have bailed out GM??

Or signed the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act (even with Moosealini as VP), halted the deportation of productive illegal students brought here through no fault of their own, done away with DADT and come out for marriage equality? Not a chance.

We definitely know Mittens wouldn't have.....

Tepid recovery? It's like the slowest recovery from a recession since the Great Depression! But I digress...

Great Britain, and I'm certainly no authority on the UK economy, is hopelessly tied to those fuckwit economic brain-child idiots like Greece and Italy and Spain. The UK and Germany and possibly even France should depart from the EU and form they own economic union. They'd be much better off.

well, was also the worst recession since the great depression. those 2 are not unreleated

plus, reagan dramatically increased spending.

plus, public sector employment also exxpanded under reagan. we've lost 600,000 public sector employees since the start of the current recovery. regardless of what one thinks about "government jobs" it's kind of tough to have a robust recovery when you've already got more than half a million jobs to make up just to break even...

Sure. The bailouts originated under Bush, anyway...

But what did we get out of it, the Volt and a Cadillac plant in China ??

What the Hell is wrong with The Volt?

I mean I'd rather have a Tesla Roadster myself, though the reality is I probably wouldn't fit in either one.

But at least for short people, they should be viable options. And then somebody can make an electric pickup truck so I can have something to drive that isn't dependent on 19th century technology that destroys the planet and provides lame justification for wars of imperialism.

[ELVIS]

The volt is ugly as hell on the outside and the whtie apple inspired interior is a joke...

It already looks like a dated old GM piece of crap...like a Corsica or something...

[FORD]

OK... so if you think it's ugly, and don't like the design, then buy another car. But wouldn't you rather have the choice of another one that doesn't put money in the pockets of the assholes who fucked up your own backyard?

So, never mind the functionality and efficiency of hybrids, or that they're (obviously) the precursors to what the planet NEEDS to switch over to (until a more reliable, eco-friendly alternativee fuel source is developed) - you reject the entire concept based on looks?

[FORD]

OK, now we're getting somewhere..........



Electric Pickup Truck to Debut at 2012 Detroit Auto Show
Posted by Mark Williams | December 22, 2011


Via Motors will introduce a new electric-powered full-size pickup truck, 4x4 SUV and cargo van at the 2012 North American International Auto Show in Detroit on Jan. 10. Making the introuduction will be Bob Lutz, former vice president of GM and called by some as the father of the Chevy Volt.

The powertrain in the new Via eREV (which stands for extended-range electric vehicle) will work similarly to the Volt's system. Lithium-ion batteries power the wheels for a full electric range of around 40 miles. When the batteries are low, a small onboard gas engine will start up and provide extended-range capability for the batteries, up to 400 miles using the onboard generator, averaging up to 100 mpg.

The system can be charged from either a 120-volt household outlet or from a more powerful (and quicker) 240-volt charging station. In addition, each Via vehicle will be able to generate 15 kilowatts of mobile power (at either 120 or 240 volts AC) for the home, work or emergency services.

For now, Via is buying GM ladder-on-frame platforms (Chevy Silverado 1500, Tahoe and Express), but in theory nothing prevents the powertrain technology from being adapted to another full-size truck chassis. In the future, the business model could work much the same way current motorhome companies buy platforms from various OEs depending on customers' wants and needs.

Via began taking orders for 2012 for its extended-range electric pickup truck from many of America's largest fleets. Production of the eREV pickup is scheduled to begin in 2012, with plans to ramp up production to 20,000 units per year over the next few years, including the eREV SUV, van and other large eREV vehicles.

Via plans to sell directly to fleets initially, then later to consumers. More info on Via Motors may be found at www.viamotors.com.

Obama gives speeches and points his finger at Wall Street but he gets a ton of money from Wall Street. Bailing out the banks was welfare for the rich. We should have let the poorly ran institutions fail, took the pain and we would be on our way out of it by now. Throwing good money after bad money and saddling the citizens with the bill is not saving anything.

Anyone who thinks Barrack Obama is any better than George W Bush is simply a political party flag waiver and is blinded to the fact that the big money owns both political parties. We do this ever fours years, people think the next guy in is going to fix things and they just follow the same program that benefits multinational corporations and not the citizens.

The only difference is how they sell the lie to you. Republicans sell it as individual freedom and the Democrats sell it as a social utopia. The reality is they support crony capitalism which is basically fascism. Obama is no communist. His best buddies are the banks. Both sides are bought and paid for.

This is exactly how it is.
It is a complete waste of time to argue with anyone about politics.

If anyone ever really wanted to change anything about this country, they should refuse to vote and write your congressman to let him or her know that your fed up with all their bullshit and lies .
This country is fucked.

Well, you could do that.... but you wouldn't change anything that way. Why not vote for someone different instead?

I don't support Romney, you dumbass...

Why not, fucktard? He is the only thing standing between you and a BLACK president!

OOhhh....so you have seen the error of your ways and are going to vote for Obama? Good for you!

Idiot.

Maybe you should actually read a thread around here once and awhile...

Maybe you should go swim in a swamp.....

And the whole premise of your bullshit post is ironic considering you can't find a job...

Then again, you gotta wake up before the crack of noon to find a job....

Can't find a job? Sez who?

I been working for quite awhile now.....and for your information, I was sleeping until 2 PM while I was looking for work.....it was not difficult....with my resume I had several companies make good offers so I got to choose the one I thought was best.

That is what happens with intelligent people who have good resumes.

Something you would know nothing about.

And anyway, why the fuck should I keep you informed of anything I am up to, sheet-head bastard?

[Hardrock69]

Largely bogus factoid, as it was the largest recession since the The Great Depression and one could argue Obama's Admin actually prevented it from becoming a true depression.

I have seen tea-party fools and other conservative pundits tossing that "factoid" around, and I had to laugh that they actually bought into that "non-info".

Only a real idiot would bother to mindlessly run that statement by anyone else.

[jhale667]

Why not, fucktard?
Can't find a job? Sez who?

He's kinda weirdly fixated on other people's employment status (and wishful thinking on his part, imagines them worse than his) most likely because his employment status is "null and void".

[ELVIS]

Why not, fucktard? He is the only thing standing between you and a BLACK president!

I don't give a rat's ass what color the President is...

OOhhh....so you have seen the error of your ways and are going to vote for Obama? Good for you!

Voting for Obama is basically like voting for Bush...except he's somewhat black...

and if he wasn't black (or orange with blue lips) most of you idiots wouldn't give him the time of day...

Idiot.

Dude, shaddup, and stop trying to be like asshale...

You bleeding heart types are all alike when your true colors come out...

Maybe you should go swim in a swamp.....

I have, as a matter of fact...

Can't find a job? Sez who?

Asshale hooked you up with Taco Bell ??

I been working for quite awhile now.....and for your information, I was sleeping until 2 PM while I was looking for work....

Well. Taco Bell is open late...

it was not difficult....with my resume I had several companies make good offers so I got to choose the one I thought was best.

Yeah, Taco Bell probably has better pay and benefits than Taco Time or Taco Mac...

That is what happens with intelligent people who have good resumes.

Whatever pays the dialup...

Something you would know nothing about.

Good...

And anyway, why the fuck should I keep you informed of anything I am up to, sheet-head bastard?

Because you're proud of your new found career ??
