I am sorry to read you were unable to buy a part for a 25 year old car from the original manudfacturer.

I am sorry to read you expected government to mandate the manufacturer of car parts, indefinitely.

I am sorry to read the the price of parts in the secondary market is so high. Maybe government should regulate it, too.

Your point?

With the amount of Obama Defense that you employ on this forum, I really could care less if you voted for Moe, Curly, or Larry.

The fact of the matter is that liberals and Democrats, including you, have engaged in a monumental exercise in mental gymnastics and ideological contortionism in your efforts to prop up this President.

The hypocrisy is astounding.

Were you saying this during the Bush presidency? Something tells me you weren't.

We know Obama is for higher fuel costs and smaller cars... Of course Obama wants more bikes on the road. Obama wants us to be a third world country. Maybe one day you will understand Obama's idealogy.It is not forward , it is back to the stone age and unciivilized culture. Progressing to degradation, A godless society with big government ruling us.

Hey... you're the one who hallucinated that I was embarrassed. There's really no accounting for what you care about.

I am not and never have been a Democrat. I wish I could say that I had never been a Republican either... but alas, that would not be true,

The dollar has not been weak at all. Where do you get your information?

I suspect this lie is bandied about because people assume inflation increasing higher than wages, or that high gold prices = weak dollar.

The disadvantages far outweigh the advantages unless you are the government and want to continue spending with no care in the word for the repercussions.
