What should the Republican Party do to get more voters?

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009
DCNew York1992 asked:


Should they keep calling the democrats socialist and liberals?
or keep disliking Obama that hes president and that he became president? or keep saying that Bush was the best or a good president? or should they keep saying that Obama and his policies should fail?
What should the party do? Should they keep forgeting about the past?
How could a party forget about the past without moving forward?
What are the American people going to focus on when they want look at the Republican party and they want to join it and become one?
Are Americans gonna say lets forget about the last 8 years it didn’t matter the U.S.A. was safe during those 8 years and lets look at a party that has no new plans and no new ideas that is so dumb that they dont even know that their party is rapidly declining day by day because of their actions?
Are Americans going to say lets join the Republican party after they read whats the party about which is what I typically said.
Let me see when you are planning to buy a new car do you research the car that you are willing to buy?
Do you look for the car that has the most gadgets or the ones that has the least? or a car thats a good price for you to pay? or a car that has good MPG? Thats what the Republican Party needs a new way to find where the party is going to be in the future and present day without looking at those antique cars and lookin at old rust buckets with rusty gadgets.
What do you think the republicans should do with the party?
and what do you think about what I said about buying a new car and researching the car you want to buy? am I right or wrong?

Finding Antique Car Parts

Factors To Consider When Doing Your Own Antique Car Restoration

If you want to do your own antique car restoration work, there are a lot of important factors that you need to consider first. One of those factors is how the work that you do will affect your car. This is because antique cars are antique because of their production dates. Of course, this also means that almost all antique cars are out of production now. Therefore, it can be both difficult and time consuming to find the restoration parts that you need. As such, this is yet another consideration that you will have to make: Where will you be able to find these antique car parts?

Finding Antique Car Parts

You may have access to a car parts store if you live in the right area. However, if the car store is a national chain, then you probably will not find the antique car parts that you are searching for. This is because these stores tend to focus upon newer vehicles instead of carrying antique car parts. For this reason, you are going to have to search for an individual or a company near you that specializes in selling the antique car parts that you are in search of. Even if these places do not have the antique car parts that you need, they may be able to find them for you. Otherwise you may want to go online in search of the antique car parts that you need. This is actually the best place to look for those things that you want as you will more than likely find them here.

If you decide to go online to find antique car parts, then you should use a Search Engine to perform a search with the name of the antique car parts that you are hunting for. More than likely you will come across some classified ads but you will also come across the web sites of individuals and companies who specialize in selling antique car parts. If you are not familiar with the antique car parts that you are shopping for, you may not know if you are actually getting a quality item. For this reason, you will need to use caution, especially while you are shopping at online auctions.

Obnoxious sibs?

[?] Tobeigh Get Loose [?] asked:


I have 3 siblings: Raena, 15, Matt 13, and Brett, 11. I will be going to college next year and Raena, Matt and Brett have been arguing over my bedroom. It’s gotten so bad. I mean, can’t they just enjoy the last year they have with their beloved sister? They have been acting really obnoxious and are even more annoying. Brett even showed me the color he wants to paint my bedroom. And Raena measured the wall to see if a flat screen could hang there… but Matt is the worse. He said that he only wanted my bedroom so he could change it into a garage and fix our dad’s beloved antique cars.
What should I do? I mean- I don’t want to say “None of you get my bedroom. It is mine.” But I do. How can I let them off easily by saying they will just have to wait and see without being obnoxious like them?
-Tobiegh
I’m planning with staying with my parents back in our town [i'm attending school at penn state] until i can get a job, and a rent, basically until i can stand on my own feet. But we have 2 spare bedrooms- an office that is used for sleepovers and a guest room. I don’t see why since Raena, Matt and Brett all want a new room why my parents can’t renovate those two rooms, I mean, I’m happy with switching rooms with Raena- I just can’t stand people arguing and fighting. It gets ridiculous. When I was younger I argued with them, but it’s passed.

Auto Insurance for Your Classic or Antique Car

Sunday, May 3rd, 2009
Mary Duares asked:


Owning a class or antique car is a real joy, but it poses challenges from restoration to preservation. Finding affordable auto insurance for these gems can also be difficult. As with any insurance, research is the key. Take the time to decide what kind of coverage you want, then get quotes from multiple companies.

Car insurance quotes for classics and antiques will depend on many factors. What is the value of the car? Has it been restored? What modifications have been made to the vehicle? Is the car garaged when not in use? How many miles will be put on the car annually? Who will be driving the car? Where will the car be driven to and from? Know the answers to these questions before shopping for auto insurance.

Insurers of classic and antique autos will want to know the specific value of an older car before insuring it. The auto insurance companies will ask numerous questions about the state of repair the vehicle is in. The Kelley Blue Book or other car value publications will be consulted for a retail and trade in value. You should do this yourself also so you know the general value range of your vehicle.

Auto insurance companies want to know the miles the car will be driven annually. It is one of the most important aspects of the car insurance policy for older cars. Will it be driven for shows and weekends only or will it be used for daily driving? Some car insurance companies restrict the driving to weekends only and will not allow for it’s use as transportation to work. Others will allow any type of use, but only allow say 3000 miles a year to be put on the vehicle. They may also want a picture of the car and a list of all the modifications. This information helps them give you the best policy price for your car.

In order to get the most joy and value out of your classic car, pick the insurance coverage that will fit your lifestyle. Picking an insurance policy with too little coverage, or inadequate coverage, will be disastrous if something should happen. You will want your vehicle to be restored up to it’s current value if minor damage occurs. Some insurance companies will not do this, stating it is unable to be fixed to it’s pre-event state due to the lack of original factory parts available. In the event of a crash or unavoidable damage, you will want to be assured they will do everything in their power to repair your vehicle. Call around or cruise the Internet to find the auto insurance company that is right for you.
