I don't understand why this is such a big deal. Why not raise fuel efficiency?

[cars for sale]

maybe I mised something but regardless the special interest mentioned and you know Dubya could give a good damn about special interests, I remember muscle cars
with huge cubic inches and single digit gas miles per.

now less mass of cubic inches and 20 ish mpg is a damn
GOOD thing. If it follow that SUV's get better gas miles,
damn. And on someone else's dime some engine R&D leaves
a parts trail ,damn.

Again I see this as forward, but that is just this gearhead.

He's someone who wants to get re-elected and wants to control the Congress. If he took the strict positions of many on Free Republic, he'd get 30% of the vote, tops. I'm most concerned about judicial nominees and, so far, he's been trying to appoint some pretty solid conservative there. I'm not willing to vote for a third party candidate to help Howard Dean nominate the next Supreme Court justice. That's a legacy that will extend far beyond either man's term and it will be far more important than CAFE standards and even outweights the new entitlement he's added, in my opinion.

Gettin' ready to change that screen name, are ya? Can't say I'd blame you. No vote for Bush from me next year, either.

I'm sick of Big Stupid Government politicians - why would I vote for one?

I read a little bit of this thread and cannot believe how many people like fascism, i.e., government control of business...This is not about conservatism vs. liberalism. It's about liberty. The government has no business making rules which business must follow at the point of a gun.
