Yes that's part of the Rethug talking points re the Auto loan.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/thereporters/justinwebb/2008/12/republicans_vs_unions.html<snip>
This line is from one of the Republican party talking points being circulated in Washington:
"This is the Democrats' first opportunity to pay off organised labour after the election. This is a precursor to card-check and other items.
Republicans should stand firm and take their first shot against organised labour, instead of taking their first blow from it."They'd rather destroy the US car industry than concede defeat. Rethugs are scum.
The memo avoids addressing the millions of jobs the UAW (and the companies) say will be lost if the money is not forthcoming - but the union is in the spotlight now and things are not going to be pretty.

Listen Democrats, defend the workers and their unions or else you to will be facing the coming music.
