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.

    The republicans just don't give a shit!

    Nor do they have a reason to, they're out the door in a month. Even if the UAW hadn't campaigned against them they still wouldn't care. These guys probably have some cushy lobbying job or some "think tank" position lined up the moment they clean out their desk. This economy will never touch them. In six months you'll see half of them giving "special commentary" on Faux Nooz about what a lousy job Obama's doing to clean up the mess they so conviently left for him. And of course the ditto heads will nod in blind agreement while their own jobs get sent off to India or China or wherever we're letting run our economy now.

    Blame the unions if you really want to, paid trolls, but I doubt the UAW forced the Big 3 to keep designing SUVs without any consideration for the future oil market or forced them to scrap the E-V 1.
