The Grand New Party

Anyone hear about how the new CAFE auto standards are going to raise the prices on every aspect of driving? Thank you Democrats. :bs:Kind of how cap and trade will raise utility prices, and the credit-card bill will raise cc fees/rates for everyone, and the 1.8T deficit will raise the yearly cost of the interest on the National Debt....

I go to NYC for a minute and look what happens...the government is still trying to screw us but it turns out we're cool with the planet.

yea until you crash one of your new smart cars.

Yes . . . if they want federal funding. Are you saying that the 10th Amendment is violated where Congress imposes conditions on states that voluntarily accept federal funding? Not even Scalia or Thomas would argue as much.
The states would not need all the federal funding if the federal goverment did not take it from them in the first place. It's like they take the money then they dangle it on a string for the states to beg to get it back with all the federal strings attached to the money.

Hey the car companies are in horrible shape. Lets put more restrictions and standards on them to help everyone out. It makes perfect sense. :doh:
The car companies will find ways around the laws as they did last time the fedeal goverment imposed higher gas milage standards on them. Thats one of the reasons we see so many SUV's on the roads as the goverment put the higher standards on car which encluded station wagons so the car companies stoped making SW and intruduced theSUV which did not have the restrictions. I'd like to know how they will make a truck that can get 30 mpg and also pull a boat or do the things truck are designed to do.

It seems Colin Powell is on board with a Grand New Party (http://www.boston.com/news/politics/politicalintelligence/2009/05/powell_to_rush.html). Good for him.

Is this not the most pathetic (http://features.csmonitor.com/politics/2009/05/14/socialists-offended-by-republicans-renaming-democrats/) thing you've ever heard? They can't be serious!

I don't really have a response, just wanted to welcome back the Saden-Link, it has been sorely missed! ;)
