Meet the GOP's wrecking crew

Why did a small group of Southern Republicans turn the auto bailout into a demolition derby? Introducing the senators who hate unions and love foreign cars.

    You writers are deranged

    That's right. Deranged. Why don't you stick to the facts? It takes 60 votes to keep the bill going, so a small group of southern Repub Senators can't stop the bailout. Please help the reader out with facts, except of course if you did, it would've ruined your thesis.

    Next, without any labor changes, legacy cost changes for post-retirement health insurance, etc, a bailout would've been meaningless.......just throwing money to GM and Chrysler for them to burn through in 4 months. Then what?

    They need massive restructuring, not $15B to burn through.

    You guys are pathetic. The southern Repubs are looking out for the taxpayers, in their state, and in fact in many states. Stick with the facts.
