Tesla has their issues, too. And I don’t have the $110,000 on hand to buy one anyways.

If you want a Mustang or a Camaro, there will be lots of them on the market when gas creeps back up to $5. And I’m sure the Italians will be more than glad to sell you a nice muscle car. I hear they’ve been making real progress there. And Obama can’t tell them what to make…

Or you could get with the program and pick up a nice Tesla. 0-60 in 3.9 seconds isn’t fast enough? Buy a first-year Tesla and in 10 years, it’ll be worth more than a 67 Mustang or Camaro. And it’ll still be faster than anything else made in America.

It would appear that there is another group of people that need to be reminded of the outcome of the election.
These DINO’s need to revisit the vote totals and what it means. We can no longer tell people what they want to hear. Con. Dingell was too content to keep the bad news from the D3 and not force them to change their approach to the future. CAFE, Emissions, safety, all things that Con. Waxman will remind the D3 about next year.

I think this is great move!!!

Either you are part of the problem or part of the solution. What do you think the Blue Dogs are part of?

I really wondered when Obama picked Emmanuel for his Chief of Staff. but the more I thought about it ( a hard right Blue dog in the white House????) I think now it was a strategic move as ol’ Rahm was gonna go after Pelosi’s seat. THAT would have been Baaaaaad.

Now we have a chance to see what Grandma will do with the House, without Rahm’s knife in her back. I have more faith in Pelosi than a lot of people do. Rahm started tripping her up as soon as she got elected to the House leadership, Remember her wanting Murtha and Rahm smirking behind her because he whipped Hoyer in there instead?
Rahm makes me want to take a bath every time I see (too often) a picture of him!

In the art field, the Modern period ends about 1950. Art since then is called Contemporary. Do we want a modern Congress or a contemporary, 21st century, one?

“Out with the old and in with the new!” is something the Blue Dogs & Republicans despise. Awwwwww, too bad.

I love the way The Hill describes Waxman as ”liberal, aggressive and activist” – they haven’t quite figured out that a majority just voted that those are good things.

“Give the man the opportunity to demonstrate that we’re not going ‘hard left,’ or ‘off the cliff’,” Melancon said. “There’s no fears, but there’s some concerns.”

Yeah, we don’t want to change direction now. Let’s keep going over this cliff here instead of “lurching hard left” for fear there’s a cliff over there. Heh. /snark

I guess the entire presidential election and ‘change’ hasn’t quite sunk in yet.

If any hint of Left makes you keep going right forever then you’re bound to come to that cliff. Then what do you do?

Not recognizing reality is very bad. OTOH, seeing Righties cringing at the idea of Lefty leadership makes it clear they’re feeling the way I’ve felt for about 30 years with Crazy Right “leadership”.

Do they have to go off the cliff AND hit bottom before they realize we’re going the wrong way?
