Senate GOP to UAW: Drop dead

Organized labor campaigned mightily against Southern Republican senators. So kiss that auto bailout goodbye, because now it's payback time.

    wow, we're the Republic of Hate

    Convenient to blame Republicans, especially those who aren't going to be around in a month. Congress COULD pass this today and Bush would sign it tomorrow (he's been a Big Government tax and waster since he was governor of Texas).

    Truth will out: the problem (doesn't everyone know this?) is that the Dems don't have 60 votes in the Senate. That means the Republicans will filibuster. That's their threat.

    I know if feels good to spew, and spew, and spew, but your ignorance is offensive.
