Just wondering what you all think?  Yea they were wrong but if they make him resign are we giving up our freedom of speech?  I kinda see it both ways

I think people are over reacting.

What he said was no big thing. I highly doubt he was intentionally endorsing seperatisim. Anyone knows that would be political suicide.

All he meant was that he thought the US would have been better if a republican was in the white house during that span of time.

 

People need to lighten up...  :wtf:

IMHO I don't think that he said anything wrong.  He just wasn't clear in what he meant to say.  The everyone just took that out of context and ran with it.  Basically he spoke without thinking.  Open mouth, insert foot.   :wtf:

I just want him to step down because he was already a weak leader, and all this situation is going to do is make him weaker.  He gives in to the Democrats, mainly Dashcle's strong arming, too often.  I would rather see our party, who is in power again, have a stronger leader who can keep our party on the right line and not give in so much to the bleeding-heart liberals...I know alot of Republican agree with this...we have too much to lose coming up in the next couple years...must have strong leadership...

So...what did he say anyway?   ???

Tom,

 

Lott was giving a farewell speech to retiring SC Republican Strom Turmond who ran for president back the 40s or 50s.  All Lott said was  "And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn't have had all these problems over all these years either".  Thurmond was a segregationist (as were alot of Democrats in thoses days) back then and now all the lefties are up in arms calling Lott a racist  :) !

 

Like Mervz said, it's all being blown out of context.  The Dems are on the ropes after getting their collective asses handed to them last election and this is all they can can come up with now; stirring up more racial tension and then conning minorities that the Republican party is racist.  Same old song and dance...if we're not starving our seniors to death then we're racist monsters!  :wtf:

 

But like Sincity sez-good riddance to Lott.  I too think he has been a weak leader and not aggressive enough in pushing conservative policy.  How about Rick Santorum for a new Senate Maj leader??

Yep :thumb: He has given in too their demands too much, and I don't want him giving in to liberals especially when the weapons bans come up for renewal in 2004, we don't need the little we can get anymore added to the bill.  

 

God help the liberals when I get my butt elected to the US Senate...only have about 14 years to go until I am eligible, but I will get there...then it will be on :wtf:

Sweet, those are the kinda speeches I am looking for.  I will need some good help.  I figure in a few years I will try for something at the state level, then the House, then the Sentate...hopefully.

 

Why with some good speeches, my ice-cold conservative heart, semi-good looks, my cute dogs...I oughta win :D

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      One would think. BUT....This is what a Google search gives for the GM OLM system:    It doesn't measure oil condition save the highly indirect water temperature. It should measure oil temperature and as we've discussed they are not as closely related as one might assume. The algorithm is based on expected conditions at the end of a certain number of miles or revolutions. And sirs, this estimated value is not tilted in the engines favor. It favors the OEM's bottom line. There are no magical number of miles nor revolutions. No magical time limit. There is only what can be measured directly and only in the broadest of terms would the values used even come close to reality.    It samples nothing. It has no idea where the oil started or where it will finish given the limited values use to create the algorithm. It is just a reminder for the brain dead to do something at some time to keep the warranty in tact. Pure fiction.    Key Factors in Oil Life Calculation The OLM calculates the remaining oil life percentage based on the following factors: Factor Description Engine Revolutions Tracks the number of engine revolutions since the last reset, decreasing oil life with use. Mileage Since Last Reset Monitors the distance driven since the last oil change, capped at 7,500 miles for most models. Time Since Reset Decreases oil life over time, dropping to 0% after one year, regardless of mileage. Engine Temperature Adjusts oil life based on coolant temperature; exceeding 260°F sets oil life to 0%.

      Towing power and I guess MPG matter that’s why I may end up going with a gear swap as soon as they’re available for this truck if I’m correct

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By GMTruckGuy74 · Posted

      If I may, I'd like to post my prediction of the trim levels for the 2027 GMC Sierra, based on what was released/introduced today about the Chevy Silverado.   Using the "Professional Grade" wording already in use by GMC, here are the eight (8) trims I believe the Sierra will offer (comparable Chevy trim in parenthesis): Sierra Pro (Work Truck/WT) Elevation (Custom) Elevation Premium -or- Ultimate (Silverado) AT4 (Custom Trail Boss) AT4 Premium -or- Ultimate (Trail Boss) AT4X (ZR2) Denali (High Country) Denali Ultimate (N/A) If GMC would rather simplify the trim levels, then I predict six (6) with package upgrades in parenthesis: Sierra Pro (with a Graphite package upgrade option) Elevation (with a Premium -or- Ultimate package upgrade) AT4 (with a Premium -or- Ultimate package upgrade) AT4X (with AEV and Ultimate packages upgrade) Denali Denali Ultimate  Let's see if I'm close.

      Auto start stop disable

      By revmanii · Posted

      I have to believe there are already a bunch of threads on this, but my searches didn't turn up much. While I like the ease of a plugin solution like the Carbyte, It appears it disables the AFM or DFM too, and is not configurable to only disable the auto stop/start. So, I'm looking at the Autostop Eliminator product. I like the idea of it better, but I'm concerned about the install and having to pull so many panels to get it installed. Mines a 2026 work truck, so from what I've read it's a less involved install, but having watched a couple install vid's, I'm still a little intimidated. Might need to buy some plastic trim tools to get it done without breaking or marring stuff. Any experience intalling in a WT greatly appreciated.
