The opportunity to deny the bailout is just too rich for the GOP to pass up -- their condition is certainly the destruction of the UAW, as part of their endless war on unionism to begin with, a key plank in Republican political economy. If they don't support the bailout, the not-so-Big Three go under, and so does the UAW. And if they pass the bailout only under the condition that what the UAW represents is destroyed, they win, too. It's win-win for the GOP, and lose-lose for American workers. Regardless of what they do, the GOP will continue their war on unionism. The question is whether Democrats will let them.
