Frank: Would you buy a Volt?

Rush: “No!”

He’s getting ready to buy a new GM vehicle. “The primary engine is 40(mpc)?...I think the whole thing is political. It’s not a matter of automotive technology...if this thing took off and millions of people bought one, do you realize what everybody’s power bill is going to be?”

Rush, “This administration has been the worst disaster to happen to this country in it's history.”

Rush mentioned on his show yesterday that he used to do live commercials for GM, but after they were taken over by the Obama administration he dropped them as a sponsor out of principle.

There was a hit piece on Rush on the front page (online version) of the Detroit Free Press. But the Freep is headed by a gaggle of gargoyles so that’s no surprise.

So any mention of Michigan’s fake tea political party?

This stuff needs national exposure.

Can't post from there but here is the URL.

What I don't understand about the Volt is if the battery dies the gas engine kicks in. What makes them think that anyone is going to care if the battery is being used?

Frank just went into it at length with Jason, who posts at Right Michigan and got the research ball rolling.

Good deal, this stuff needs exposure so it can blow back in the faces of the perps who are behind it.

Good for Rush.

However, personally, I want Government Motors to fail. And I really liked GM big trucks too, back in the 1970s. The only brand new car I ever bought was a GMC Safari. I’ve owned Chevy’s, Olds’, Fords, Hondas, a Peugeot, MGB’s.

Today, every car I own are Toyotas.

Damn, my Kia is a jewel. Gave my Ford to my grandson so I could try this out and what a machine. Hooray for South Korea. Don't get me wrong, Ford still makes a great car.
