Good for McCain. Now Obama needs to do the same thing. I suggest $2500 for GM, $2500 for consumers. Then states can pitch in whatever tax credits they want to offer.

I’m sorry you feel like a victim. But, it seems like you went crazy first. If you attack me, I guess I am not big enough to let it lay. You may be the one to teach me to turn the other cheek.

JonP made some comments, which I wholeheartedly support. Somehow, you jumped to a conclusion that JonP would suffer my wrath. I still don’t follow the logic of turning JonP’s comments into an attack on me. Then you finished with some name-calling (“self-appointed censor”). If you tried to discourage name-calling in the forums, then don’t name-call. If you tried to point out some perceived hypocrisy of mine, you failed to elaborate it clearly. What did I say that was hypocritical? Your territorial barking to stifle my comments, with a call for people to speak their minds, sounds hypocritical to me. You are doing yourself a disservice by being so rash.

Can you explain yourself, without anger? Understanding your position would be the first step towards better relations.

p.s., Seperating partisanship from true give-and-take is an important consideration in a debate. Blind partisan rhetoric will not advance us much. It is just one side against another. There is no winning, except through war. We are all in this together. Solutions will occur when reasonable people come to reasonable solutions.

Reading a few minority opinions above, about how the “government should wait” and “free market” will solve all this. Get real. Our oil isn’t coming from a free market. Our oil is coming from religious zealots who have monopoly pricing power with no diminishing economic elasticity in the price but up in sight. That’s the kind of thinking that got us here. Let’s not interfere with the Middle-East dictatorship control over the flow of oil.

Switzerland subsidizes their people’s car buying and manufacturing as they turn to electric means. Electric cars will be SUBSIDIZED at 50% of the purchase price, and gas cars PENALIZED. Now guess which country has the highest per capita GDP/GNP. Look at our debt burden to add to the realization we’re going in the wrong direction and oil is the primary driver at the wheel these days.

Bring the Volt to my driver. Counting on 40 MPC (miles per charge).
