Re: 600 mile range Federal law needed

I once had a fuel gage go out in my old Plymouth (not so) Reliant. I never new how much gas I had but I always kept track of the mileage. I know the way I drive a vehicle and I knew I could go so far before needing to fill up. This went on for almost two years, spring, summer, autumn and winter, WI to CA. Different conditions do mean different MPG but it can be compensated for if one knows his vehicle.

I also think the original poster may have meant that a 600 MPG Rating would have been under certain conditions. Look at any ad in a magazine where they claim such and such MPG. There is always the disclaimer about conditions and how you drive.

A little more originalty than some regurgitated Al Franken lines woudld be better.

You're asking for 600 miles city driving? So you want a 33 gallon tank? I don't think you would be happy with that, and when full, your milage would drop dut to the weight.

... and like I said you think that the lunar landing was faked and that Bush prayed Katrina into being and hitting New Orleans. Again - as long as we have people like you speaking publicly on behalf of the libs, the Democrat pary has an uphill battle. All we conservatives ask is that you keep up the good work.

Bill Putney (To reply by e-mail, replace the last letter of the alphabet in my address with the letter 'x')

So I was right. You won't answer specific questions because the truth isn't what you want to hear, nor is it in you.

Specifically you will not address if SH had WMDs? How were thousands of Kurds killed in Iraq? How many times did SH invade Kuwait? What did Bill Clinton say about SH and what we should do about him? Was the UN resoution unanymous? Did SH support terrorism by offering families of suicide bombers rewards? Did SH support Al Quida?

Bill Putney (To reply by e-mail, replace the last letter of the alphabet in my address with the letter 'x')

Actuall, you were wrong again.

I'll answer your questions. You may not like hearing the truth, but read on.

Absolutely not. At least not after he was forced to get rid of them after daddy bush attacked in '91. Haven't you been listening to the truth? Hans Blix said no before the war in started in '03 and all of the intelligence reports since have said he did not have them. Haven't heard of the "Downing Street Memo's" either have you. Proof your boy cooked the books to gain support for his illegal oil grab.

With WMD supplied to him by Reagan/Bush/Rummsfeld. Again, those were no longer in his possession in '03.

Once. And that was with the permission of the first bush administration.

He said the UN resolutions were working during his time in office and Saddam wasn't threatening anybody except the British and US warplanes flying over his soverign country on a daily basis.

It was unanymous that bush NOT attack Iraq.

I can't prove otherwise and neither can you. It has been reported to be so, but then we were also told he had WMD which you know was proven fasle.

Did SH support Al Quida?

No. Saddam was and possibly still is a secular Muslim. Al Quaida is run by the person who trully attacked this country four years ago, Osama been Forgotten. Osama was not in cahoots with Sadam. In fact he hated Sadam because of his secular views. To Osama, Sadam was an infedel for not following Islam like Osama and his fundamentalists want.

I really don't care if the lunar landing was faked.

I don't think bush or any religious fanatic could pray any hurricane into existence, much less where it's going to hit.

I only believe in facts. Not the idiotic ideas you have of us liberals.

Bill, are you a religious man? Are you a so-called christian?

If so, just how in the hell do you think you're going to get into heaven by badmouthing liberals? Remember, jesus was the biggest liberal of them all.

Please not this tripe. You're probably one of those who claim Joseph and Mary were homeless too when Jesus was born.

I love hearing the truth.

Per the UN, he was required to account for the weapons that were on the books, and he never did.

But there were more WMD's than that.

Like I say - keep up the lunacy. Only makes us look good.

No - actually WJC said that Sadam needed to be removed from power. Where have *you* been?

He said, making it up as he wnet along.

Yes - provable. Non-sequitur.

Re: WMD's - as I said, he was required by the UN to account for them and couldn't. But you will deny that I'm sure, or thow in another non-sequitur.

Yes - provided training facilities and assylum. "Enemy of my enemy..." kind of thing.

Bill Putney (To reply by e-mail, replace the last letter of the alphabet in my address with the letter 'x')

You know nothing of true Christianity if you think not badmouthing liberals will get you into heaven. Sorry - but that's not the criteria.

only been hanging out in automotive-related newsgroups, huh? if you consider his postings to be frothy, you have been extremely sheltered.

i won't speak to the issue of freedom of expression, but in regard to virtually everything else -- the war in iraq, the economy, immigration, irresponsible tax cuts and while ballooning the deficit, the pathetic response to hurricane katrina, this administration is nothing short of criminal. as the saying goes, "if you're not outraged, you're not paying attention." i would consider it frivolous to take anybody by the hand and lead them to the mountains of evidence regarding this administration's blunders, lies and malfeasance. anybody who doesn't realize what's happening is either wilfully blind or woefully stupid.

what was the question? i was simply responding to your apparent lack of humor.

they can express themselves all they like; but it's been my experience that rabid bush-backers are your typical "crash beer can on forehead, thump your chest, kill em all and let my non-existent god sort it out" kinda guys. they wear buffalo-check flannel sweaters, bad haircuts and have a vocabulary somewhere in the neighborhood of 25 words. i consider it to be good form to let them know that any bullying behavior on their part will be met with the reduction of their head to a pulpy and bloody mass. they understand that. other than that, they can express away.

Typcial libs. You want to

i'd do the same. i don't help the walking dead.

By your replies, you wouldn't know it if it jumped up and bit you in your ass.

Yes, yes. Just as bush said. Tell me, how was Sadam supposed to prove he didn't have what he didn't have? That is like saying, show me you have something in your hand when you have nothing in your hand. It's all a play on words to make Sadam look guilty to the imbeciles that follow bush's line of thinking.

Where. Hiding in his underwear? Sadam had none. End of story.

I guess you're gonna try telling me Sadam invaded Kuwait 5000 times in the last 100 years? You are insane.

Clinton never said that.

Go back and check your history. Don't you remember you fools putting down the French because they voted against bush's war? So did the Germans, the Russians and the Chineese. All members of the UN Security Council. Jeez. And I thought you knew some facts.

Like I said. It's not provable.

As I said above, how was he supposed to prove the glass was empty when there was nothing inside to show?

Bullshit. There were never any Al Quaida in Iraq before bush got his war hardon and made a mess of everything getting 1896 American service men and women killed because he lied. Even that Zarqauwi (spelling?) dude said that he has just become a follower of Al Quaida, and that was after the war started. Didn't Fox News tell you that? I guess not. They won't tell you the truth if it makes their imbecile look bad.

Why would anyone really care???????????????

i agree. all this tripe about some comic book hero for adults floating around the sky and giving a damn about a buncha bald primates is just plain pathetic.

I do know that those who claim to be christians are worse than Muslims. Those who profess christ as lord, go around pushing their religion on everyone else starting wars all over this planet. Remember your bush boy even called his war against the Muslims "The Crusades" until he was reminded of what that meant many years ago and it would not look good using that term now.

I also know that christians are the biggest bunch of hypocrites on the planet. If half of them would even read the bible (if even half of those could read) they would learn that jesus said "render unto Caesar that which is Caesars." That doesn't only mean to pay your taxes (which too many so-called christians fail to do) but to follow the laws of the land which way to many of you fail to do.

When asked by the King of Jordan why he was attacking Iraq, bush said; "Because god told me to." Well, there was a woman down in Texas (imagine that) who bashed in her kids skulls for the same reason.

The whole idea of an invisible cloud being is too outrageous for me. I believe in facts. Not the fallacies of raving lunatics.

Your bush boy isn't liked by too many of you anymore.

Better get wise and jump ship before you're the only fool left.

==================================== President's Approval Rating Dips Below 40 By Will Lester The Associated Press Saturday 10 September 2005

President Bush's job approval has dipped below 40 percent for the first time in the AP-Ipsos poll, reflecting widespread doubts about his handling of gasoline prices and the response to Hurricane Katrina.

Nearly four years after Bush's job approval soared into the 80s after the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, Bush was at 39 percent job approval in an AP-Ipsos poll taken this week. That's the lowest since the the poll was started in December 2003.

The public's view of the nation's direction has grown increasingly negative as well, with nearly two-thirds now saying the country is heading down the wrong track.

Where Is Osama bin Laden?

It's the fourth anniversary of September 11 - and Osama bin Laden is still at large.

Your fool in the White House has had 1,461 days and still no sign of Osama.

I wonder why that is?

Because your boy stupid is too busy with his illegal oil grab in the wrong place?

Just a reminder of what you support by supporting that mindless wonder you keep praising.

FEMA won't accept Amtrak's help in evacuations FEMA turns back Wal-Mart supply trucks FEMA prevents Coast Guard from delivering diesel fuel FEMA won't let Red Cross deliver food FEMA fails to utilize Navy ship with 600-bed hospital on board FEMA to Chicago: Send just one truck FEMA turns away generators FEMA: "First Responders Urged Not To Respond"

And take a good look at that last one. That is straight from the FEMA website.

By supporting bush, you support a disaster.
