IRONY Ben.
I fully realize that I suck at spelling, so I rarely correct others.
However, “smarterthantoast” said the following:

“From the posts on this thread, the republicans sure look like a bunch of phukin losers: no brains. And these morons are going to vote.”

IF you hold yourself out to be a flawless example of mental perfection (which I don’t) then you deserve a higher level of criticism!

You do not have the brainpower to be a very good analyst, whether the subject is scientific or political.

Morever, you lack the temperament to be a good analyst. Your pride, your ego, and your impatience with anyone that you consider a “lesser” to you (nearly everyone) makes you a poor a very poor analyst.

Note, for example, your obsession with a minor spelling error above. Since you cannot fault the logic you go after the trivial.

Now what was that about glass houses?

Smarter than????

“Gees, stupid, buy a better gauge than. They cost about $2.00. How freakin stupid can you be?

Boxlock, I suggest you climb back under your bed, because your too stupid to associate with anybody of any intelligence whatsoever. Someone asks you to check your tire pressure and you think the guvmint’s going to start a program.

From the posts on this thread, the republicans sure look like a bunch of phukin losers: no brains. And these morons are going to vote.”

I admit that my spelling is pretty bad.
However, if you are going to insult the intelligence of other Bloggers — just a tip:

The contraction of “you” and “are” is “you’re” —

“Your” howevever, is possessive. You basically said something or someone that Boxlock owns is stupid.

People who live in glass houses —

Oh and ‘dumber-than-most’, remember the DemLibs suggestion of mandatory thermostats in private homes that could be regulated by bureaucrats.
Or compact fluorescent light bulbs mandated when they haven’t even figured out yet how to dispose of them properly and don’t even work well outside when cold.
No, the DemLibs have a history of concerning themselves with ridiculously minor issues in peoples lives because then know best how to run everyones life and want to.

smarterthanmost,
Someone who claims he himself is “smarterthanmost” never is, and is the biggest fool of all.
Get over it jerk!
My comments are based on typical DemLib response to anything…..more government bureaucracy.

A HIGH Quality gauge will have a variance of a FULL POINT (plus or minus .5)

The cheap gauges McCain is using to make fun of Obama?

They are much LESS accurate!

The accuracy of a mechanical gauge will have a variance of up to 6 psi (plus or minus 3)

I have mentioned that tire pressure checks won’t generate tax revenues.
I have mentioned that tire pressure checks won’t employ people.

At least not like: DRILL HERE, DRILL NOW!

Of course, it a Dem who said that jobs and tax revenues were not important!

“Obama had noted that keeping tires inflated and cars tuned was endorsed by both NASCAR and AAA and should be part of any comprehensive plan to reduce reliance on imported oil.”

Okay, but should that be the focus of the Dems energy plan.
I’m sure the Dems would love to develop a massive government/enforcement bureaucracy to monitor and enforce tire pressure laws.
Gawd, they never quit with the growth of government.

Don’t you folks get TIRED of carrying the water for obama? Why doesn’t he make things clear rather than relying on kool-aid drinkers to explain “what he really meant”? Here’s one for ya: if his goal in the whole tire inflation issue is SAVING GAS…how about recommending an even HIGHER tire inflation rate? Hmmm? That would save even MORE gas. How about we ban pickup trucks…now that would save BILLIONS of gallons of gas. What you don’t realize is patriotic Americans do NOT want to be preached (especially by an elitest).

Couldnt find the video, but here’s the chorus of Common Sense.

“You’ll get mesmerized
By alibis
And limbo dance in pairs
Please lock that door
It don’t make much sense
That common sense
Don’t make no sense
No more”

leave it to John…

Heheheeh Pre. It reminds me of John Prine’s Common Sense chorus:

“It dont make no sense that common sense dont make no sense no more”.

I agree.

Now John McCain says keeping tires inflated is a good idea.

Phantom that is a feature on a Prius. Since fuel economy is their bragging point I can only assume it follows that tires should always be properly inflated.

Newer cars (some) even continually monitor tire pressure, wonder why?

A couple of the posters from here stationed strategically at the gas station could keep the tires full of hot air and keep the lines at the tire inflation station short.

I can’t keep myself out of this one. The regression of the Republicans amazes me. They went bonkers over Clinton’s hummer, now they’re going bonkers over Obama and tire gauges.
HLP comes on line and gives us his version of how the country has gone downhill since Liberals came into their own. Right, HLP, women can vote; blacks can vote and sit in the front of the bus; smog controls are now in every car; serious work is being done to clean up the environment. If that’s downhill, I’ll take that any day.

Franklin pops up with how if everybody checked their air pressure, why the lines at the pump would be too long. Might I suggest you buy one of those “inaccurate” pressure gauges, and check it at home? Or buy one of those cheap tire inflaters, and do that at home as well? No need to even start your car. Of course, you’ll still bitch that using electricity to fill your tires pollutes the planet.

JMW is right: you Republicans can’t think for yourself; you need Rush and friends to think for you. Very sad that these people who voted Bush in are the same ones voting for McCain. But you so-called Christians still got your guns, and don’t seem to mind killing people through war or the death penalty. I really wonder what Jesus would think of that. As KFG says, he wept.

“It’s odd: Why would a party that touts personal responsibility and thrift ridicule a policy that incorporates those values?”

Why indeed?
Perhaps for the same reasons they denounce homosexuality then try to pick guys up in bathrooms? Or for the same reasons they get into an uproar if a nipple is flashed across their TV screen but don’t utter a peep if their 8 year old regularly sees people violently murdered on the television.
