Rumor has it the Ranger was to a "axed" anyway.

Fact or fiction?

I bought my first Ford used in '62 and have been a loyal Ford fan since. I have found them to be of quality and reliability. Our current '06 Ford van is no exception as I have religously followed the maintence schedule on all of them.

Yes, I have owned other makes but that have never compared favorably to my Ford's.

When will this nation come to the realization that the domestic economy simply can't absorb the awesome expense of foreign war wars and they absorb so many of our national resourses? Probably as soon as the President and Congress actually come to fulfill their sworn oaths.

We elect them. How many of us see the peril into which they have placed our nation? The '12 election will determine our fate one way or the other.


I`m going to do my part at trying to elect officials that at least have a clue where to start and that starting to fix is far far behind schedule!!

In hindsight I will say again what I said years ago in forsight: Ross Perot at least has the right idea in mind, fix US up first and everything is less priority on the list of importance. I`m not degrading the value of other issues HOWEVER this issue must be adressed while there is still oportunity for repair.
I`m not his biggest supporter but maybe he would have done us some good!!

Someone has got to realize the BIG picture has been ignored for far too long.
Our economy has been a bad gunshot wound being ignored for far too long;It will never go away or heal itself without some attention.
What are YOU going to in any way change the direction our country is going? Watching "reality" TV or pro-sports?
