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.

    Mr. Leonard states it succintly

    This is beyond disgusting. This is not even obstructionist. This 60 vote requirement for keeping 3 million jobs safe is simply foul.

    No excuses, no rationalizations. Shelby, Corker and the rest are just as useless now as when the GOP scuttled SCHIP.

    Kids? They don't need immunization shots.

    Workers? They don't need no damn jobs.

    Me to GOP: drop dead. And make it fast, before you screw the pooch on anything else
