Makes me want to run for govenor......maybe in a few years.
I love how rich people like to try and complain about pollution when they have 20' ceilings in their huge houses that are air conditioned all summer, heated all winter, they drive in their 6 mpg limos and they actually cause more pollution than any of us could ever produce. They should start with the bigger problems and work their way down to cars if need be. There are certain animals and insects that create more pollution than my car, why doesn't the government regulate them?

Its only Rich Democrats that complain and its the Democrats that want to tell people what they can and can't do."You can't have guns... Guns kill people"(ie.Gun Control)..."You can't work harder then other people and make more money then other people because thats not fair to the people that don't work as hard as you"(ie. lets tax the people working hard and making more money a higher %)... Its the red blooded gun toting patriotic Republicans that think everyone has the same rights and that everyone is responsible for their own actions... Unlike the Democrats that think the government is responsible for everyones actions. I think people have a diluted sense of what party is looking out for the average everyday guy.(ie. ME) It sure as Hell isn't the Blue Collared supported Democrats.

Did you happen to have that parked in Mt. Clemens this past wednesday? I took a picture of some early 90's blazer with sidepipes.

The methods may include cleaner-burning gasoline, vapor locks to keep gas fumes from wafting out of filling station pumps, older vehicle trade-in incentives and measures to reduce pollution from old two-cycle marine engines.
Im pretty sure the government is funding ATV and dirt bike makers to research 4-stroke technology and phase out 2-strokes... funny how they magically have a cc advantage in AMA races too

I will never give up my 2-stroke dirt bike... or snowmobile, or leafblower

Yeah your right! Its Democrats like John Engler that are helping the little guy by stopping
Emissions Testing! It's those dumb Republicans like Granholm that are attacking the little guy and bringing back Emissions Testing! Oh, Wait!.... John Engler is a Republican! NEED I SAY MORE! It seems to me that people need to worry less about that (R) and (D) next to peoples names and more about who is really helping people out.

Hmmm, the republicans dont let everyone just pollute till they drop. Where do you get this info. Find some pollution statistics from a democratic administration, and a republican administration find me the difference in pollution stats. Anyway, emmissons testing is not goin to help out anything. Engler found that it didnt work. Why does this bitch think it will? You hardcore democrats explain how emissions testings are going to help this state? More jobs are going to be lost and then that will get blamed on bush. I love how everyone blames bush for everything even though hes not causing it.

Topic change:
Another reason why i hate democrats. They say the war in iraq is going to be like vietnam. Well that war was started by a democrat, and prolonged by a democrat, and finally ended by a republican. Well... they say were losing all this life and doing a terrible job. Weve lost about 1000 men total in iraq. We lost over 55000 (correct if im wrong) in vietnam. Democrats are calling iraq the new vietnam and how bush is soo terrible. Loss of life isnt good, but put it inperspective you granholm tampax eatin ****sticks

Just to remind all you Republican slappys, it's the House and Senate who make laws. And the Republicans control BOTH here in Michigan.

But go ahead and keep blaming Granholm if it makes you feel better.

America had military "advisors" in Vietnam during Eisenhower's presidency. And in case you don't remember, Eisenhower was a Republican.

And the above statement does NOT mean I think Iraq is the new Vietnam.

you guys realize that this wasnt initiated by the Michigan Government, but in fact the EPA, which is a government controlled subsidy. So instead of putting the blame on our current state government, complain about the EPA.
