    they're terrorists

    When the World Trade Center was bombed the first time in 1993, it was an attempt to disrupt the US banking system, which would bring the country to its knees. That is precisely what these obstructionist domestic terrorist have done. To break a union and to protect their precious FOREIGN OWNED car companies in their own states, they: risked plunging our economy into a depression (if it's not there already); chose FOREIGN businesses over DOMESTIC ones; and were willing to destroy the lives of millions of AMERICAN FAMILIES. Yet these 'lawmakers' say they did it for the American taxpayer. They're not only obstructionists and terrorists, they're hypocrites as well. By this vote, they proved once and for all that the Republican party cares NOTHING for the American family. Even Dick Cheney, with whom I NEVER agree, said this action would forever make them and show them to be the party of Herbert Hoover. That says it all.
