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.

Why shouldn't they? Is it just to their timing that you have an issue with it?

"You are faulting the Republicans for not bailing out an industry that has done such a terrible job of remaining competitive and managing their funds well?"

Blame blame blame as the house burns down. That's what the Hooverite Republicans are all about these days. They have no interest in fixing anything, just pointing fingers and blocking reform. Watch this. Really. I think you will find the truth annoying, but it's worth it.

I am more interested in our economy than politics.

"GM is done regardless if they get the money."

And I'm sure you would have said the same thing about the last Chrysler bailout . . . over two decades ago! Yup, the government made money off that deal and people stayed at work. But keep making your unsupported pronouncements. They sound like they are fun to make.

Most people that are racist don't even realize their racist. I would find it weird if people called me racist since I have children of all races.

Speaking for myself, I would say it is *the timing.*


The bailout of Chrysler in 1979 took almost one year to negotiate and draft.
