"Republicans Let Down America On Automaker Bailout "

Good for them and the democrats who voted NO with them!

Buy Toyota! They know quality..

American's don't?

 

[dilloduck]

American's don't?

Yes they do----that's why they buy foreign vehicles.

 

[Andrew2382]

American's don't?

Let me tell ya something

I have 3 cars...

2 beamers because I get employee pricing and a Yukon Denali.

The Denali is in the same price range as my X3 is...and its not even close in compairson.

The BMW handles better, drives better, takes bumps better, more comfortable.

I love my Denali too, cause I am a big SUV person

Obama resigned his seat, remember?

Clinton and Biden have to remain neutral, so they couldn't vote.

And why couldn't the chair vote? There have always been bills passed that the vote is equal to 100.

That's why I said Obama and Biden, that's two meaning that's why two of the Dem senators didn't vote. The chair technically can, but usually abstains to maintain "neutrality".

Why would Clinton need to maintain neutrality? She's got a strangle hold on that senate seat she ought to at least use it. But, whatever, I wouldn't put it past her....so that's 4. They have 51 senators, we accounted for 4.....what were the other 47 doing?

I spent 11 years in the South. Believe me, it's not a stereotype when it's true.

when was the last time a Southerner asked the Fed gov't to bail out his company?

all these socialist unions trying to preserve the past by taking from our future are based in the North, South (and West) are smart enough to have right-to-work laws, which is a big reason why virtually all job creation is now in the South and West

All I know is that my dad worked for Ford back when Reagan was president and Reagan did something that saved jobs.

The plant went from 1 shift to 3.

So it sort of undid all the bad things Reagan did in the eyes of us middle class union workers. It's why Reagan won Michigan back then twice.

And Bush is going to save us. I can't believe it.

It used to seem like I was always blaming Bush, when I just used his name because he is the figure head.

And you guys tried to put all the blame on Bush, or you tried to "distance" yourselves from Bush.

Now all of the sudden Bush is reasonable and you redneck southern hillbillies make me sick!!! One last turn of the knife before you leave office.

So let me get this straight, Now Sealy likes George W. Bush?
Bwahahahahahahahahhahahahahah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had 750 billion to give to the banking class, with no string attached.

but we don't have any money to keep the auto industry going?

Yeah, right.

No class war in America, huh?

Also a bad move.

 

[catzmeow]

Blue Dog Democrats?

Just because they were smart enough to vote out the bums, doesn't necessarily make them progressives overnight.

They don't realize, as many Americans don't, that they are arguing in favor of lowering American workers labor.

Because they don't think it will affect them.

They are wrong.

Blue Dogs AREN'T Progressives. They're moderates. D'urr.

 

[dilloduck]

Also a bad move.

Which we are

finally

coming to realize.

The American people did not want the Congress to pass the TRAP bill or the President to sign it into law. We, the majority, expressed our opinion in writing and through telephone calls - and they admitted it.

The Adiministration and Congress of the United Stated determined that they, and they alone, know more than the American people who sent them to Washington, to represent us.

I have written them to express my concern regarding this matter. I hope you have done the same.

Boy would THAT improve this country. Uncle Cletus and Aunt Jessimie have about an IQ of 50 combined. But hey, you southerners got your country music and your pick 'em up trucks in which you haul..... absolutely nothing in.

And yet you will be the first one crying "Anti-Semitism" when called a typical dumbfuck jew.

Blue Dogs AREN'T Progressives. They're moderates. D'urr.

I don't think anything will save us. I just went to lunch with 3 salesmen. I said, "you don't think our jobs are next? You don't think some rednecks down south will do what we do for less? We make $70k give or take. You don't think someone in the south will do it for less?".

And one of them says, "they already have customer service reps stealing our orders in Fort Worth that only make $30K".

America is doomed. And it's the dirty south that's gonna take us down. Republicans. Conservatives. Bible Belters.

We thought we won in November? Think again. It's the new Civil War.

Well just like Lincoln controlled the Federal Government, Obama has it now. We have the military, thank God. We control the purse strings starting Jan 20 2009. Thank God!

But it's too late. Wages are going down. The South will take our $30 hr jobs for $15 and fuck up the entire economy, and they'll benefit from it.

Isn't that how they lost the Civil war? We had all the industry? Well their taking it back.

I suggest they manufacture and buy foreign cars and we should support our Big 3. Ford should buy Chrysler and then GM and Ford will be the Big 2.

And no more Free fucking federal tax dollars for Toyota and Honda. Alabama has given them so many tax breaks it is sickening. Yet they vote not to give American car companies any $?

No more pork for Alabama.

Amazing how patriotic you guys were for war but not on this issue. Pitting American workers against each other. When there are more people than there are jobs, people will work for much less. You have sold your fellow American workers out.

When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.
When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I was not a Jew.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.

When your political ideology is based on the premise of the jungle, any help is seen as a handout. But all the social darwinists republican conservatives who live in thought by that ideology would know if they thought a second that their own life would be nothing without the supporting structures we label society. Any working person who votes republican is a fool.

Bwahahahahahahahahhahahahahah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know. I'm praying he actually cares about his legacy.

 

[catzmeow]

Which we are coming to realize.

Slippery slope...And a serious lack of supervision.

Like giving the car keys to a 15-year-old unlicensed driver and wishing him good luck.

For cryin' out loud, did you see that documentary where random Obama voters were interviewed? They made Cletus and Jessimie look like Einstein’s.

Are you seriously retarded enough to equate the government deciding NOT to financially rescue the "innovators" of hummer fame with the Nazi Holocaust?

You need to get offline and take your pill, whatever pill that might be, Sealy, that makes you sound less like a fucking lunatic.

You're no more informed than those people imo.

I really hate it when stupid people don't get the point i'm trying to make.

But I'll explain it to you slowly.

When the GOP & Corporations came for the fruit pickers,
I remained silent;
I was not a fruit picker.
When they sent manufacturing jobs to china,
I remained silent;
I was not in manufacturing.

When they came for the unions,
I did not speak out;
I was not in a union.

When they came for the engineers & IT Professionals,
I remained silent;
I was not an engineer or in IT.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.
