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.

The letters thread is now closed.

Meet the GOP's wrecking creww

These Elected officials: Shelby, Demint, McConnell, And Corker are TRAITORS. They were elected by US CITIZENS, not foreign multi-national corporations. I say start impeachment proceedings for each and every one of these GREEDY TRAITORS.

MEET THE GOP'S WRECKING CREW

I am sick and tired of ignorant people bashing unions. This country is/was a much better place to live BECAUSE OF THE UNIONS, NOT IN SPITE OF THEM.

The ignorant people who bash unions should learn to read, and go back and study history.

The 40 hour work week, the 5 day work week, Time and a half compensation, safety work rules, sick days, vacation time, paid holidays, child labor laws, and on and on were established by unions and their members.

Many people died fighting for the rights that everyone enjoys today(though those rights are being dismantled at an alarming rate).

This country was built by hard working union members. We need more unions, and more powerful unions in EVERY SECTOR of society.

Very, very soon, there will be only 2 classes of people: The Filthy, Greedy, Traitorous Rich, and the rest of us,....all poor, very very poor.
