    John Kerry: American Soldiers Are Terrorists

    John Kerry appeared yesterday on the CBS talking-head show, "Face The Nation", to discuss the war in Iraq with Bob Schieffer. Just as in his speeches on the Viet Nam War, Kerry has slipped into deep Left-speak in an attempt to gain national traction for his pose as a party leader. In fact, in...

    Ford Toyota Merger?

    The new Tundra plant was to be operational this winter in San Antonio TX. Its a monster truck full North American sized and will compete with any of the big 3 full sized trucks. They better look out if Toyota builds it like the rest of thier vehicles, game over.

    Ford Toyota Merger?

    My take: Toyota wouldn't touch Ford with a ten foot pole. Ford has nothing to offer Toyota, nothing but debt,ageing plants and the UAW. The difference between the two is like day and night.
