    Mystery of auto managers versus their own Republicans

    In Detroit, all the workers are Democrats, and all the bosses are Republicans. No big revelation, of course... But why are the Southern Republicans and the Washington DC Republicans so hostile now to their brother Republican auto company bosses?

    Hard to say. The Detroit Republicans have been very successful in running Detroit, Michigan and Flint, Michigan and many other cities straight into the dirt. I guess that pales in comparison to W. Bush and Cheney running the whole world's ecomony into the the ground, but still...
