Chrysler: Look at yourselves Republicans

Looks like Chrysler, which is privately owned by rich Republicans, is pulling all its right-wing strings in DC to get it a piece of that auto bailout $$$.

Defense contractors. Big oil. Big pharma. Same thing for the past 8 years in which this Republican Administration has spent trillions and pulled every regulatory string to help its buds without any regard for everyone else. This is what you are about. While the top of the party goes on its personal feeding frenzy with your taxpayer dollars, they whip you up with issues like anti-stem cell research, anti-gay marriage, anti-liberal this and and liberal that. If you are a Republican making under 200K a year, you are getting played. Big time.

PS I am still for the auto bailout, but not to help rich Republicans. Rather I am strongly for it to help America because the terrible fallout due to one of these companies going under right now. I point this out to help Republicans understand their party's motivations and what their party is truly about.

Careful...my brother did that when he got transferred last year...they guy who was renting ran out on the lease...probably because he was adversely affected by the economy...but my brother was still left holding the bag...an expensive bag.

<it's becoming more and more amusing to see libs hypocritically mention "the debt" after having voted for a guy who's promised to address the issue by spending trillions and trillions more.>


Did somebody promise to address the national debt by borrowing?

Yes , once GWB gets on that helicopter to get back to Crawford, remember he's still in charge - if that's what you want to call the last 8 years

<<Farmland is being sold by people before the end of the year to beat Obama's threat of increased capital gains tax.>>


That's kind of ironic considering the substantial depreciation of farmland has occurred under Bush's watch!
