At least you're being honest about your partisanship, and your desire to see the middle class of the midwest, and much of the country destroyed. At least you're truthful that you want unions destroyed out of sheer partisan spite, regardless of what it means for the country.

Like I always said, there's a lot of republicans that put loyalty to Party above everything else. Including loyalty to America.

In stark contrast, I never heard one Democrat say we shouldn't bail out Wall Street out of spite, because Wall Street backs the republican party and is a major source of their funding. I heard a lot of reasons to be against the wall street bailout, but never one as blatantly partisan and unamerican as yours.

Hey buddy, that was just political analysis. I didn't say whether I agreed or disagreed with the tactics of either side. If you think there is not plenty of partisanship on both sides, then you are an idiot.

If no Dems opposed the bailout of Wall Street, then shame on them. An if you think Republicans run Wall Street, then you don't know too much. You've bought in to the stereo-type of "rich republicans." The fact is that most Wall Street bankers are Dems. Look it up if you don't believe me.

Sorry, perhaps I wasn't clear. I didn't mean that people weren't buying their cars, I meant that they were not making any money selling their cars.

You see, you can't lose money on every car and make it up on volume. Eventually, you have to make money or you go bankrupt. Or should.
