Even though I’m a private pilot who can fly above it, let me just go on record as saying that I’ll contribute money **AGAINST** any candidate of any party who advocates going back to a national speed limit of any number.
Let the states set it, or else lose my thousands per year in contributions, as well as have my thousands go to your opponent...and I’m a fund raiser for President Bush.
Democrat. Republican.
I don’t care.
I’ll go to the mat to prevent another national speed limit.
I’m willing to bet if there is a deal made on the off shore drilling with the Democrats a lower speed limit will be part of it. I hope its not lowered all the way down to 55mph. On the interstate that would be like crawling.
“I’ll go to the mat to prevent another national speed limit.”
Seriously, few things in this world will piss me off more than some busy body politician making me drive 55 MPH. My time is worth way more than the small bit of gas it will save me—if I were to follow the law, which I won’t.
