Obviously I can't drive my Corolla and the Previa at the same time and since I now live in an apartment by myself, I don't need the Previa myself anymore. I'd forgotten how much arses Ford drivers are. Just because in 1923 half the motor vehicle output in the world was Ford Model T's. . . . Charles Grozny

It's a combo of the poor economy and ObamaFear, the latter being most observed in the observation that you almost cant find ammo on the shelves at Walmart since election day 2008. They tell me it comes in and goes out within a few hours. Ammo manufacturers have been operating at capacity since November 2008. The jobs market is being hurt too, because the current administration is threatening to increase taxes on all the companies that REALLY create jobs. ( cap & trade and the dreaded Obamacare ) ( government doesnt create jobs, it only destroys wealth )

Duh. he's a marxist progressive. You just watch the political bloodbath this fall. Something like 60% of the population either have conservative values or are conservative leaning. Those people are scared to hell and it's being reflected in lack of hiring. No more of this "it was their side's fault". The "progressives" ( marxist globalists ) of both parties gotta go, and they will this fall. Tea party! |
