The Prius is much more conservation oriented than, say, a Ford F250. Conservatives should love the Prius- the best car out there for conserving non-renewable resources. In fact, one of the most (politically) conservative people I know drives a Prius. He's no fool- he knows gas will just keep going up.
Sounds like you must be having too much fun already this week end, comebackgirl!I love it!
My brain is fried...and I'm sick of the same election battle being hashed out in the same way with just different words :crazy: Let the fun begin!
BOOT!

There is no excuse for the $5.5 trillion in new debt over the last four years. Or for the 23 million people struggling for work. Or for the record number of Americans living in poverty. We all know this cat is one and done.

Eva Longoria is taking back an offensive retweet against GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
The “Desperate Housewives” actress, who is co-chair in the Obama campaign, retweeted one of her followers on Wednesday, who called Romney a “tw*t” referring to a derogative name for a female private part.
“I have no idea why any woman/minority can vote for Romney. You have to be stupid to vote for such a racist/misogynistic tw*t,” the tweet read.
Getting worried!

I just posted in another that people like Obama... me too.
This post is about how shocked I am by those who do not consider
not voting down party lines even when the job has been less than satisfactory.
And no I still don't know which button is being pushed,
but you can neither believe that or understand it so why don't relieve yourself

So, you would rather be losing 750,000 jobs per month instead of gaining 125,000-200,000?
You would rather be dealing with a recession where 8.5 million jobs were lost, instead of a recovery where 5 million have been regained?
"Excuses":
1. Republicans in Congress: "It is our main goal to make President Obama a one-term president"
2. Failed Republican trickle-down policies in effect for 12 years: where are the jobs?
3. Wall St. is doing very well--Nasdaq hit record highs this year, DOW near pre-Recession levels, S&P projected to hit record levels by the end of the year
4. CEO pay is UP; middle-class pay is down. The same trend for 30 years. Where are the jobs due tot he Republican policies?
5. 93% of all income gained since the recession has gone to the top 1%. WAIT for the trickle-down, peasants. WAIT!
6. Oh yeah---a recession that began under a Republican administration
7. Oh yeah--TWO WARS
8. Cry baby multi-millionaire/multi-billionaireCEOs: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=196650&hilit=+super
Excuses.....just excuses0 -

like the one tolerating is superior when actually we are all equals.
Rubs me the wrong way. Yes I said rub
I prefer using the word understanding myself and I work towards that.

A Summer of Liberal Intolerance
WASHINGTON, D.C., October 11, 2012, (The Heritage Foundation)—As summer faded to fall, a Chicago alderman’s fury toward Chick-fil-A finally seemed to be cooling. But fall is fickle in the windy city, and Proco Joe Moreno once again is threatening to stall the chicken chain from opening in his ward.
Moreno, Mayor Rahm (“Chicago Values”) Emanuel and other big-city officials piled on Chick-fil-A after Dan Cathy, the company’s president and COO, publicly supported the biblical definition of marriage. As they were soon reminded, though, for a public official to deny a business license because of the businessman’s marriage views would amount to unlawful discrimination against his viewpoints.
Sadly, controversies such as the one that Moreno’s overblown comments helped create grow more frequent, and Chick-fil-A is only the most visible target. Advocates for “tolerance” increasingly push traditional ideas on marriage, family, life and faith out of public life.
In June, sociologist Mark Regnerus at the University of Texas-Austin, became the target of a blogosphere blaze of character assassination.
His offense? Regnerus constructed a nationally representative data set of 3,000 young adults and produced a study. It found that young people whose parents had same-sex relationships fared worse in key aspects of life compared to those from intact biological families. Never mind that his critical reviewers had judged the report an improvement over previous studies. Regnerus, like Chick-fil-A, was accused of being “anti-gay.”
The journal Social Science Research which published his study came under attack. A complaint to the university prompted a “scientific misconduct inquiry.” The journal did an internal audit to dispel the aura of scandal spread by critics of the study’s findings looking for fault with the process. These inquiries exonerated Regnerus and the journal—but only after their credibility took a beating from the intolerant forces of tolerance. That sent a chilling message to other scholars and editors: Think twice before investigating and publishing on similar topics.
Note the pattern of the intolerant forces of tolerance: Liberals pick a social policy fight and then frame the victim as culture war aggressor, while pitching themselves as peaceniks. Americans must not be cowed by such tactics into shuffling toward a secularist winter where public support for marriage and institutional religious freedom in matters of conscience become intolerable. Authentic tolerance is vitally important.
On August 15, a young man walked into the Family Research Council headquarters in Washington, D.C., and fired three shots, wounding building manager Leo Johnson in the arm before being wrestled to the floor. According to authorities, the gunman said something about not liking the council’s politics. He carried 15 Chick-fil-A sandwiches and 50 rounds of ammunition in his knapsack.
Groups across the political spectrum condemned the violent act. Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank suggested more, though. He argued that the leftist Southern Poverty Law Center, among others, had been “reckless” in labeling the conservative council a “hate group”—and so implying the research and education organization is outside the pale of legitimate debate.
This summer, long lines of Chick-fil-A patrons similarly rebuked the intolerance of Chicago’s Moreno and Emanuel. The freedom to uphold “Chick-fil-A values” continues to draw wide support. The City of Broad Shoulders – indeed, every town in America – ought to have room for those values. They represent the very principles on which this nation was built. Surely even those who don’t celebrate them can tolerate them.
