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.

    ODD THOUGHT PROCESS

    An odd thought process by Andrew Leonard here.

    Let's see: GOP senators are influenced only by the cash laid out against them by the UAW, regardless of GM's merits.

    On the other hand, Democrats vote impartially without thinking about the UAW cash spent to elect them.

    If we subsidize incompetent managers and slacker workers, we will get more of them. Payoffs every six months from now on for no good purpose.
