• Woman Wins Case Against Honda Over Misleading Hybrid Fuel Economy

  February 2, 2012 at 9:58am

  In reply to we are screwed.

  Not so fast there buddy. My 2007 prius has 167,000 miles and I have not replaced anything but a head light. I get 47.6 mpg on a regular basis. The worst mileage I every got was when my wife and 2 kids drove out to Omaha NE, with the trunk loaded with the stuff needed to stay over a week and even then I got 43 mgp. Paid 23,000 and I probably would have spent that much on a different car. SO, yes, I paid a small amount more, but did not get a tax credit. But when we need longer trips, guess which car everyone wants to take. That’s right, the prius. So far it is the best car I’ve every owned, and I’ve had 3 new cars and a bunch of used ones.

• False Advertising? Angry Hybrid Owner Suing Honda Saying Car Doesn’t Get 51 MPG

  December 31, 2011 at 12:50am

  My 2007 Prius with 164000 miles gets 46.7 MPG most of the time. When loaded down with 4 people and a trunk full of luggage out to Omaha and back we only got 43. Early in the life of the car I got close to 48 mpg.

  Hey, the toyota experience has been a good one, I’m looking to get the plug in next year.

• ‘The One We’ve Been Looking For’: See Ron Paul’s Epic New Ad

  December 28, 2011 at 3:09pm

  In reply to deerjerkydave.

  Well, Ron Paul can clean up the mess, I don’t think congress will let him abandon Israel, even if he wants to. So, in light of Rino, Unstable, or Isolationist, I guess I will support Ron Paul. I cannot support Gingrich or Romney, and Michelle, Perry, and Rick just don’t seem to have the needed base, maybe when a couple of them drop out the one remaining will get a bigger base. But for me, if I had to vote today, I think Ron Paul would get my vote.

• GOP Senator: Tea Party Challenges ‘Killed Off’ Chances for Republican Majority in Senate

  December 27, 2011 at 8:39am

  In reply to Redmanblackdog.

  I’d rather have a minority of TEA than a majority of RINO. What difference to my freedom if big gov’t is bigger thanks to rino or liberal. The Rino’s make me sick. Luger, Cantor, got to go.

• ‘Betraying Jesus’: Pastor Tells Rev. Graham to ‘Repent’ for Saying It’s OK to Vote for a Mormon

  December 23, 2011 at 1:29am

  As for me and my house we will serve the Lord. Romney might be a fine guy, and he might be a christian, however I don’t have the witness of the Holy Spirit, so I will pass. When I have the peace that passes understanding, and come to the place where my spirit is one with the Holy Spirit, I will say that I found a candidate to support. But for me, I cannot support a non-christian, because if he or she is not filled with the Holy Spirit, how would it be possible for him or her to be led in the right direction. The person has only worldly knowledge to go by, and will miss the leading of the Spirit.

• House Republicans Defer to Senate, Agree to Extension of Payroll Tax Cut

  December 22, 2011 at 6:25pm

  Eric Cantor has got to go. HE has no balls. He just stole money from the social security trust fund by keeping it from being funded for my retirement. Lousy guy. This is not the only reason.

• Ron Paul Releases Another Pro-Life Ad

  December 21, 2011 at 6:11pm

  In reply to gretsch62.

  Newt and Mitt may be in the lead, but I can’t support either one for very different reasons. First, Mitt is simply not up to the task and he is not a real christian. The definition of Christ in the Mormon church is not the same as the Christ of the Bible as determined by 2000 years of faithful believers who have known the presence of the Holy Spirit. Second, Newt is ignorant of the Islamic threat, and to me, is too much connected to the Agenda 21 and Big Government.

• Sarah Palin: Not Too Late to Jump into Republican Race

  December 20, 2011 at 10:02am

  Sarah is still my #1 choice. Looks like I might have to settle for Bachman or Santorum. But I could hold my nose and vote for Ron Paul. I will not vote for Romney and probably not for Gingrich.

  Just to be clear, real Christians have the benefit of the Holy Spirit, which will lead the individual believer into all truth. If you are not a Christian, then the best you have is your worldly experience. We need leadership that is at least connected to Jesus by faith in Him.

• Report: Half of Schools Fail Federal Standards, Duncan Blames ‘No Child Left Behind’

  December 15, 2011 at 6:04pm

  In reply to Fight for America.

  Well, Its about time to close some schools, fire some administrators, and let some teachers go. boo-hoo. If you had done the work while the master was away, you would not be ashamed when he comes home. The truth is out, the country has kids who after 12 years of public school cannot pass simple tests based on the material being taught. You know, I have 7 kids, 3 out of college, 2 in college and 2 in public high school, and they are all working their butts off, but they are not having trouble passing the tests? why you ask, my wife and I made education of the kids high on our priority list. A one room school house would be more effective than what some kids are getting, but we live in a county where the board of supervisors and the school board know that the parents will vote them out if the schools fail to teach the kids and prepare them for college or work.
