The odd part is they do not seem to fear the American People any more. I guess they need all those buses someday to haul us away to concentration camps. Impeach, judge and then actually hang them for treason. Linda T, they see faithful Communists when they look in the mirror. The odd part is they do not seem to fear the American People any more.

How can they really believe the stuff they are spouting? How can they look themselves in the mirror in the morning and go on spouting it? My goal is to get Harry Reid UN-elected in the fall of 2010! He, along with Pelosi and Obama are making our problems worse, and they all need to GO!!!! I listen to the people in congress and our beloved president, and my brain is boggled.

All of this talk about CO2 reduction is just noise. The greening of America should be just that. We should employ means that involve using more CO2. All plants intake CO2 and exhaust O2. We could create hundreds of thousands of jobs growing and planting trees to replace our dwindling forests and rely on natural means to control the 'so called' greenhouse gases, not tax based chicanery. And instead of paying farmers not grow crops, put them to work raising crops for conversion to ethanol and reduce our dependency on oil.

Seems just like throwing the baby out with the bath water. Stupid!

I was surprised to see that the new pickups get worse gas mileage than my "clunker" does. Although the idea of having something new is appealing, I left the car lot unenthusiastically saying, "That's nice." It wasn't, "That's NICE. I want one." Yeah, if someone gave me a new truck with no strings attached, I'd probably take it. But I can't see spending good money on it when I don't have $20K to $30K burning a hole in my pocket, begging to be thrown away.

What a travesty. More waste. As pointed out, most of the towns were going to buy new buses anyway, the money just allowed them buy the cadillac bus. Are they going to tax the cadillac buses like they do the Health Plans that are considered Cadillac? Oh no, that's right, that is only for the little people.

Our only hope is for everyone who values freedom to pressure their elected representatives to demand that impeachment proceedings be enacted swiftly to rid this nation of that pathological narcissist, King Hussein Obama and his enabler, Princess Pelosi. If you consider this to be obscene or a personal attack, shame on you for being part of the problem instead of part of the solution.

The government version is too prices, unnecessary, and another political stunt to stroke the 'greenies'. Just another lame-brain program for a government of idiots and imbeciles lacking enough commonsense to fit on the head of a pin...they've got a long track record to prove it too!
