The Republicans blocking the Auto Loan are killing their party (and America)

[Botany]

Shelby, McChinless (McConnell), DeMint, and others are in the process of
killing their party ..... don't matter about the foreign car companies in their
states because if they screw over the workers from the big three then steal,
rubber, glass, plastics, trucking, car dealerships, car mechanics, and even
NASCAR will go down too.

They keep this shit up there will be millions of out work people looking for
them in D.C.. very soon.

1. The democrats will let them off the hook.

Don't expect anyone to accuse them of hating the American worker, even though that's what they would do to us.

10. The sheeple who are addicted to the GOP-controlled media keep electing them ...

... they keep agreeing with everything they say because they do nothing to keep themselves informed.

This will continue until every single last GOPer is removed from elected office, schools and every variation of media.

No more republicans, ever.

2. The Auto Loan bill is dead.

just now on C-Span 2.

3. The demand for autos

Won't change just because someone else is providing them. So someone else takes over the market share (granted that it's shrinking, but it wouldn't matter if it were foreign or domestic firms - that's a function of the recession). Sure there might be a short term supply decrease but I figure it would fix itself.

4. We're talking about fucking JOBS!!

Not to mention the other businesses affected by the domestic auto industry.

7. You are out of you mind if you think it doesn't matter

What about the thousands of dealerships, what about Warranties and parts for cars, what about all the suppliers, all the cities and states that are going to be bankrupt. What about the millions of pensions insured by the PBGC that will be lost when the UAW's pension plans are dumpped on the program. I have worked in the steel industry for 39 years and my company went bankrupt, my meager pension depends on the PBGC. What about all the UAW workers that will loose their health insurance, pensions and homes. Don't tell me it doesn't matter you sound like Larry Kudlow!

9. You're right it matters. I can't believe this. What the hell.

11. It's called union busting. But you seem to be ok with that.

I am not. I am sick inside.

[Elwood P Dowd]

12. Economicgeograhy is a repuke troll.

Ignore him. I don't understand why the DU mods have put up with this so long.

5. Reich on Rachel's show sounded like the Dems were giving in to them.

No real details yet, but it sounded that way from both Rachel and Reich.

6. Did you see this? McConnell and Chao are...

...married? http://www.dol.gov/_sec/aboutosec/chao.htm

8. If they win this battle, it will be an act of suicide

They will cut their own throats by trying to line their pockets. F@#$ them where they breath! If they're dumb enough to slit the throat of the people who elected them they deserve the pain of the pitchforks that will be coming for them.
