Look at the story. The gov. is not attacking NASCAR.

Without Big Government footing the bill for the failed car companies, they would not be able to play the game.

Or do you believe in unconditional Welfare for millionaire sports figures?

The car companies failed and it's Big Government to the rescue. It is sadly inappropriate to have dessert before dinner. And these car companies should not be enjoying their strawberry shortcake.

Christ, I sound like Larry King.

Decker, read the thread I just posted. FYI, sounding like Larry King isn't a good thing.

You should know be better than that by now.

I just had to hear it from you. It's like the Father's (government) justification: I'm paying the bills and you (son-auto dealers) will follow my rules.

I am not interested in nascar but I support the right for the event to exist. There is a market for it and many people enjoy it...good enough for me. It doesn't fit in with Obama's utopia so he probably isn't upset about restricting GM's funds toward that avenue of advertisement/sport.

I do not want gov interfering too much in business or private life but what should be done about the banks? If our banks are too big to fair, is there logic in more continued gov regulation? The question is can gov regulate without pushing political agendas (as they did in the 90s which was the start of all the bad loans).

No government isn't attacking NASCAR, but Decker hates it that people do something they enjoy when he doesn't "get" it.

My thing is why isn't AIG being held to the same standard? The same thing can be done, liquidate assets, negotiated bankruptcy, and ask the CEOs to step down. It just shows that they have Obama and his administration in their pockets. I can honestly handle the bailouts of the car companies...they PRODUCE something and employ over 3 million people. The banks that helped cause this mess on the other hand; it just angers and frustrates me that no one seems to be doing anything plausible to fix it or to even clean out the rot. I think it is apparent that the government can't do anything from a centrist position.

I pointed out that the gov. is not attacking NASCAR.

I just wanted to pile on and laugh at this dullard enterprise.

You're right man, I don't get NASCAR at all. I think that's a good thing.

Its because Obama is OWNED by Wall Street.

+1 another vote for NASCAR being the armpit of "sports" activity.

If Obama wanted to attack NASCAR he wouldn't go after Chevrolet and Dodge, he would go after Mountain Dew and tax trailer parks.

That's next. He is using the bailout excuse to sart with Chevy and Dodge.

2010 and 2012 are going to be a huge rude awakening for this marxist mussolini.

I wonder how many liberals 'hate' nascar. Probably a lot of them. Suddenly I feel a strange attraction to cars driving in circles at high speed....hahaha.

shootfighter1 · « **Reply #37 on:** April 01, 2009, 09:39:16 AM »

Yes, the treatment of high level bankers have been suspect. If anything, one industry that I would like regulated (to some degree without pushing an agenda) is banking. Most bankers are greedy SOBs and they do whatever it takes to make more money. I don't mind having general governmental regulations on banking to protect us and the country...as long as they aren't using banks to 'even playing fields' and push their fairness agendas. Keeping a close eye on the banking industry is wise.

no, not a lot. The ultra left tree hugging ones that hate all cars, yea. I think you'll find more on the left that are just in general pissed that big oil has manipulated their way with the automanufactures to make sure we don't have a high mpg option. That's not very free market of them

Personally I would love to have the best of both worlds. A car I could take out and lay some rubber with and a car that I could take on longer drives that won't cost 100+ bucks per trip.

Agreed. I wish there were good inexpensive alternatives to oil and gas too...but right now the technology is not there. As for NASCAR, I think its kind of a southern thing as well.
