The Right Scoop
Washington should push their plentiful hot air as a power source. It's free... why not?
Ok, Obama, think things through before you act. You are also at war with the coal industry. How do you propose you're going to get all that electricity when you are done destroying the businesses that provide 50% of our current electricity needs? We need more electricity, not LESS you freaking stupid muslim-brain moron!!!
I'd swear liberal idiots can't see past the ends of their noses.
Why are we subsidizing $100K luxury sports cars for the super wealthy?
I am probably upper middle class. I am still paying on a 2010 Dodge Challenger that cost about $45K. That is a massive portion of my income and a huge obligation, but I wanted it, could afford to finance it, and believed I earned it.
I would love to own a Dodge Viper, and a '67 fastback Mustang...I can't afford the former and can't justify the later and still have the Challenger. I had to make a choice.
So, how is it "fair" to steal part of my earned income at gun point so somebody else can use that money to sell a $150K luxury sports car for $100K to people who earn many times what I earn?
Even if you favor redistribution of wealth, why are they taking $50K from me to give it to Leonardo DiCaprio or George 'Clueless' Clooney so they can add a broken electric car to their fleets?
You have asked the question that makes the heads of all liberals make Linda Blair's in the exorist seem normal.
They have some mumbo-jumbo, marxist claptrap diatribe they can go into...none of which earthlings can dicipher.
Not sure how Sharyl Attkisson continues to be employed by CBS. About the only objective reporter there. She broke the Fast and Furious story, which has Holder doing the Ali "rope a dope." Just a hunch, but I think she may have the goods someone high in the CBS News organization and they are afraid she'll blow the whistle on them if they fire her.
A few folks here referenced this, but for those that haven't been it, here's the clip.

What Obama and the pinheads (Not a doowop group) don'tr grasp is that any workable product needs development time to properly progress from drawing board to driveway.
Why do the President and his groupies avoid the point that the plug-in hybrids STILL get their principal power from coal fired power plants and fossil fuels?
Obama needs to go, just as Carter did. But quicker, please. Neither of our theoretician Presidents has been worth crap.
I heard the Chevy Volt is helping the economy. Firefighting equipment sales are up due to them and tow truck businesses are doing great because of them.
The biggest problem I have with our government is that all the real energy efficient gas powered vehicles produced in Europe can't operate here in America because of all the safety regulations imposed. 25% of the power generated goes to facilitate those requirements.
I bought my last new sports car and found they no longer provided ashtrays & a cigarette lighter.
It makes me wonder why our politicians claim they are against bullying when they subscribe to that principle when dealing with our automakers and us, the citizens.
Every conservative web-site has been assigned one, Joe. Names change, but intent is the same.
The irony is that if you really want to be environmentally friendly, you'd buy a vehicle that burns fossil fuels. If you buy an electric car, you're just diverting the CO2 production to the power plant which is NOT suited to running cars. So it takes MUCH more energy from the power plant (because of losses during each transfer, from the plant, distribution, storage in the battery, and finally to the motors) than it does if you used an engine specifically designed to power a vehicle with fossil fuels.
This is why they try to silence Ms. Atkisson. She is a top-notch journalist who actually does hard-hitting reports. You know, like they used to do before 2008.

EVERY "VOLT" >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Congratulations Taxpayers, Chevy Volt is the Most Government-Supported Car at Up To $250k in Subsidies Per Vehicle Sold
http://reason.com/blog/2011/12/21/congratulations-taxpayers-chevy-volt-is
So to repeat - The REAL cost of a "VOLT" is $250,000
What is the problem with that? This is just part of the plan to redistribute wealth from taxpaying evil rascally wepublicans to pot-smoking hippies who think they are being eco-friendly by buying a Chevy Volt.
They agree to pay $20K and get a car that cost over $250K to build.
You can't get any more hypocrital than to bash private investment while trying to ignore bad investment this administration have done. This election should be a cakewalk if didn't have so many people on the take. Especially those Obama has working for him like that clown in the second video.
I like the way these liberals think; If we fail to meet our goal in 2015, we'll just aim for 2016, but we'll never admit to making a mistake.
According to the top video segment, Chevy actually sold 62,000 Volts? I really find that hard to believe. I think Chevy has stopped production of the Volt because of poor sales and I doubt they're going to start it again, especially given this terrible economy. Also, GM doesn't tell people all of the new wiring you need to install in your house to accomodate the Chevy Volt and it still has not fully fixed those pesky batter fires in case the Volt is hit by another car. Finally, even electricity isn't cheap these days, especially where I live in the summertime (with all the air conditioners going). Given the high cost of the Volt and the high electrical bills for using it, you're probably better off just buying a smaller Toyota or Honda with good gas mileage and not have to bother with all the new wiring. And, if you live in an apartment building and want a Chevy Volt, I think you're out of luck, too. Unless you have a really long extension cord.
Living large and his/her liberal friends are going to be mighty upset to learn all of that info.
And yes, Chevy stopped production, laying off 1300 workers. It was suppose to be only for 5 weeks, but haven't heard if they have began again.
I'll have to ask my husband, he works for a chevy dealership.
The "People" speak... I wonder just which people are speaking? Oh, I know.. everyone "but" the American citizens with a shred of common sense... considering that video is from a United Nations Foundation (funded by the US, I'm sure). BAHAHAHA.... This makes me want to wretch...
Maybe he wants to bring back the livery stable to replace the gas station. That's what every town had around 1900. A place to board your horses. (Notice in cowboy movies they didn't get to leave their horses overnight just anywhere. ) Some folks I know hop a bike when they want to go to the next town, I guess he his not for that sort of transport.
I'm still waiting for zoning to allow a 100+ foot windmill on my postage stamp lot (<.2 acre) to provide power/heating for my home and car in IL. Maybe they first need to pass the waiver on bird killing. Oh yeah, I'm also expecting IL or US to subsidize the $40K expense too.
Sandalow is insane. It's not an "addiction" to oil, it's one of the greatest discoveries known and helped fuel (pardon the pun) the industrial revolution. But, then I sometimes forget progressives are actually regressives....they won't be happy until we're back to rubbing two sticks together...oh, never mind, that would harm a tree....egads!
Wonder why bo doesn't want Brazil to have electric cars? What a stinker....he wants them to use oil and our money to get it...why I oughtta.....
Don't worry, I will....I will vote for Romney!
' I've been getting about 70/80 mpg. Someone I know has been getting about 120/130 mpg, he's going to give me some driving lessons'' Sir, if I may, please don't just stop your meds all at once, there will be (as shown) dire consequences.
LOL ! Was it the beans again? Just need to invent an engine that runs on soy sauce, no waste at all and can eat the exhaust. ;-)
Soy is too salty and Mayor Bloomberg and Moochelle would not approve. Please be careful with these flagrantly freedom-like ideas. Big brother is watching.
I've been saying for a long time, the libs won't be happy until they tell us what with, where and how we can wipe our own behinds.....
Hah, they were! Also, they were on posters as CYA and then below each letter, downward was the rest of the words. It was hilarious. I got a lot of beers bought for me from the rank and file.
The only thing that would get me laughing more than I am now, is if I knew the c,y and a were capitalized.
Got a big leafed decidious tree, non allergenic leaves? Maybe a fig would work for the CYA program you describe.
LOL!
I read your comment before I went to Walmart
I just bought 6 cases ot TP before they outlaw that too!
Yeah, cya with toilet paper. I like it.
Reminds me of a time at work when they were trying come up with good safety slogans. I submitted 'cya' as a joke and told them it stood for 'concentrate your awareness'.
The idiots in management liked it and for several years, it was prominently displayed, much to the amusement of the employees. :)
Have it on good source that next week's baddie will be toilet paper manufacturing and it's profits. Everyone should get into a cya mode.
Oops, wasn't thinkin, this week's baddie was sugary liquids so thought we could do soy, but, alas, you bring back reality. :-(
