Robots work a whole lot cheaper.

There are very few steps in assembling a vehicle that need human hands, especially over paid human hands.

Oh, and robots don't drink coffee.

Right- and they also don't vote Democrat. I say we need more robots...

Remember- of all the important issues in this election, none is more important than Freedom. Interesting they were asking people about "do you care if the US is the #1 superpower in the world?" And Dem attendee upon attendee said (in their best valley girl voice) "nawwwww, it doesn't really matterrrrrrr." I beg to differ- watching Georgia during the Olympics- honestly- gas prices, health care, enviroment- none of it will matter if we are not able to keep ourselves in our current leadership position, let alone facing invasion, sometime, somehow, somewhere.

And as a former Taylor resident, I apologize.

Obama's VP choice is going to hurt him , McCain's VP choice will help him . Biden saying a drunk truck driver killed his wife will turn truckers away from Obama . There is no evidence the trucker was drinking and there were no charges against him . Biden's wife failed to yield at a stop sign . No anti-trucking liar gets my vote .
Keep and eye on the polls here [LINK POSTED BY MEMBER] Only Members Can View This Truck Forum Link.

yeah I have watched the news - and they points made on fox today were

1. mc cain only met her 1 time in the past - and never worked one on one with her

2. she is a "new" governor - and has not sit on any pressing committees

3. the remoteness of Alaska will play into the fact that her experience outside of that state is VERY limited.


don't forget guys - I am pretty hard core in my right wing views - just stating that there is a current underneath Obama that I do not predict McCain will match on election day..


too many ill informed people believe in speeches and not common sense...

too many well meaning people figuring that after Bush - what could it hurt to let the 'lil brother have a crack at the wheel...

*ugh*

maybe - depends on whether the tie between women is stronger than an individuals political leanings.

hard core Hillary fans will probably not go republican based on their views - even if the conservative ticket had two women...

dunno - going to be interesting to see the breakdown after the election

I am also curious about the minority vote - many are trying to get involved at "this stage" - yet it was my understanding that if you did not vote in the spring - you will not be eligible to vote in the fall...

so that may aid McCain's camp.

dunno dunno dunno - going to be interesting
