Lisa Murkowski said "I think the Senator from Massachusetts has to be careful in his generalities because the Ford Escape isn't a real SUV. I understand its towing capacity is only 1,000 pounds. That means you can't really tow your boat to where you are going to launch it because it is simply not heavy enough, if indeed it can only tow 1,000 pounds. The Senator from Massachusetts can argue the point. But it is either fact or fiction. Is the Ford Escape a real SUV, or a mini-SUV, and is it limited to a certain load area?" @ PoliticalQuotes.com
