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.

    USA to GOP and the old South: drop dead.

    Once again, the progress of our nation is held back by regressive Southern politicians. Fortunately things will be different after Obama takes office. The Democrats and their non-Southern GOP allies will be able to override the obstruction of the backwards Southern politicians. Long term, the USA will hopefully dilute the vote of the yahoo Southern white down to the point where it is but a minor irritant.

    Long live the UAW, and all unions in our nation! If you rednecks don't like it, then by all means, build yourselves a time machine and get the hell back to the 19th century where you belong.
