I'd just like to give a big FUCK YOU YOU IGNORANT WASTE OF LIFE to all the Bush cock smokers out there.

From CNN:

"The Teamsters Union said Wednesday it will ask a federal appeals court to block the Bush administration's plan to allow Mexican trucks to carry cargo anywhere in the United States.

The union said it has been told by officials in the Transportation Department's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration that the first Mexican trucks will be coming across the border Saturday."

Since 1982 Mexican cargo trucks had to unload at the border to U.S. trucks. They do not have any access to the United States, yet Bush plans to do away with all of that starting Saturday.

There are a million reasons Mexican trucks should not be allowed into our country.

One, it's just another easier route for illegal immigration.

Two, the drivers are not licensed to drive safely in our country. They are not familiar with the roads, the highways, the laws, etc., etc.

Three, the trucks are not inspected to be safe on the roads in our country. The Department of Transportation can say whatever they want, but this is a complete line of bullshit. Are you going to trust President Bush and his aides to tell you these trucks are safe? Are you going to feel comfortable being next to a semitrailer with Mexican license plates on the highway, driving 80 mph? Wait until the first accident happens that kills a little kid or a family because the trucker fell asleep, was confused driving in a country he's never been in, or the truck had a mechanical failure.

Four, what this is really about is undercutting the U.S. trucking industry and putting more Americans out of work. You can bet that Bush and his Republican cohorts have already lined up ownership of Mexican trucking companies. I also wouldn't doubt that they would use the stock market to short the stock of U.S. trucking companies. This is just another disgraceful act by this administration to line their pockets at the expense of American jobs and safety.

How is this story not on the front page of every newspaper and website in the country?

Being a retired truck driver, a Teamster, this goes beyond stupid right into the stupid greedy column. All teamster truckers should block the highways leading into the country from Mexico with thousands of huge semis and clog up the roads untill this bullshit is stopped. If I were still driving, I'd be there.

I agree this is 100% BULLSHIT!!

These trucks and drivers are not licensed or approved for roads in USA, they dont meet smog emissions or have the required safety checks and equipment. How much drug and illegal immigrant trafficking will be done under the disquise of this?

I also heard earlier this week, that the Iraqi government (for first time) unanimously all voted against a bill that would give US (or US interests) 70% of all oil profits.

SEVENTY FUCKIN PERCENT OF PROFITS!! WTF!!! Maybe I am waking up now and seeing what is actually going on. I dont want to believe this, but it appears to be true.

These trucks, no way in hell do I want them in my area as they are taking away jobs from Americans and causing serious safety and enviornmental concerns along with the enticement of these drivers to smuggle drugs and/or people into USA for alot more money than driving will give them.
