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.

    Andrew can try to make it a GOP issue, but as usual, he is wrong

    A hack like Andrew is and can try to make this a partisan issue, but once again, he is wrong. Plenty of republicans have supported this, plenty of democrats have not supported this but the most important thing is that plenty of americans do not support this.

    Andrew tries to feebly compare this to the financial bailout, but the problem is that a huge amount of americans were against that as well. This is a case of enough is enough. Not the class warefare that Andy is trying to create as a last ditch effort to guilt everyone into believing his way since he has no persuasive ability. On top of this, many fell for the first bailout as a necessity to save our economy, but what happened . . . well, nothing happened. The downward spiral continued. If ever there was a good time for this, now is the time because it is coming either way. So instead of giving the fatcats at GM the 15 billion that they will then keep and spread around to their cronies and not the worker, lets put an end to it.

    And who cares what Sweden is doing? Anyone here? And Sweden has been stealing its citizens money for years. Give us time, we are trying to catch up.

    If there is one hilarious point in this entire disturbing debate, it is that even in the midst of Glen's article talking about how so many people are refusing to admit that they even ever voted for Bush, here so many of these hacks are forced to side with Bush in this mess. While you may not have voted for Bush and you may hate him, he has been providing you for years with your steady stream of government spending iniatitives that you love, but don't seem to be providing much stability for us.
