At Les Stanford Chevrolet Cadillac in Dearborn, they're fed up with criticism of Detroit automakers and the UAW by Alabama Sen. Richard Shelby.

So they've put the Republican to work -- selling their cars.

The dealership is running TV and radio ads that feature clips of Shelby making anti-Detroit Three comments.

"We're wasting our time trying to keep them alive," he is shown saying in one ad.

Co-owner Paul Stanford strikes back, asking: "I wonder if the good senator would tell us how much Japanese car companies who make cars in his state gave to his campaign?"

2. American Greatness

It used to be we were good at making stuff. Manufacturing is the "mother machine" that drives a robust economy, as any economist will tell you.

I find it very telling that Washington Pols like Shelby gush all over the "money handlers" while telling the auto companies to go to hell.

Why does Senator Shelby hate 99% of all Americans? (Everybody but the ruling elite, in other words)

I think it's the worst time to be an American working person (anybody that's NOT MANAGEMENT) in about the last 45 years!

WE ARE ALL CORPORATE SERFS NOW!

3. Southern Coup

Time was, the Big Three were the U.S. auto industry. No longer. Over the past two decades, enticed by cheap labor and massive incentives, a second auto industry has emerged: nonunion, Southern-based, and foreign-owned. Large plants, with names of Asian and European carmakers emblazoned upon them, now dot the Southern landscape. By moving aggressively into Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, Georgia, and Texas, foreign manufacturers—call them the "Little Eight"—have transformed the economic geography of the nation's auto industry and the political debate surrounding its future.

If the get rid of anyone of the big three and union workers it will be worth billions to the south.
