take your ill-informed, ignorant, indefensible, and WRONG political bullshit and shove it up your ***.
I'm sick to death of hearing this crap from republicans about liberal this and liberal that.
The republicans have done a real good job of running the country, huh? That'* why we have a bigger deficit than ever in our history, less than ten years after we had a $4,000,000,000 surplus? That'* why our schools are cutting their curriculums to the bone? That'* why gas prices are higher than they've been since the 70s? That'* why inflation is out of control right now?
Tell me again why we invaded Iraq? WMDs? Nukes? SCUDs?
(Yes, I support our troops, but we should never have gone into Iraq, we already had too much on our hands in Afganistan, and Iraq couldn't hurt us or our allies)
Mods, Admins, you need to start cracking down on offensive political BS like this guy is spouting.
Let'* keep this forum free of the kind of infighting that made me leave Columbus Racing.
P.*. Mods, if you feel the need to delete this post, then please do me the favor of removing the entire thread. I will not have my views attacked in a public forum without the right to reply in kind.

It seems like everyone out there is out to tear the country in half, when we really need to be trying to work hardest to hold things together.

QUIT COMPLAINING
personaly i could care less of anyone political view in this fourm take your complaints else where this fourm is for discussion of pontiac bonnevilles not argueing about politics I understand about auto mags being bias (how can motor trend give the 04' car of the year to a toyota gokart that has a hybrid engine but has a 19 sec quarter mile) hopefully things can change and those auto mags can give cars coming out of detriot a chance

Ah yes, lets look back on our ansestory and take into acount the millions of fingers that were worked to the bone building and inovating this country from the ground up.

However the Grand Prix'* reliability ratings are listed at "Good" or "Excellent" (I can't remember which). If you don't believe me, check out the 2005 car review issue of CR. Something just doesn't add up here. How can they share the same drive train but have such a disparity in ratings? Needless to say it makes me slightly guarded when reading CR opinions.
