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.

Agreed...If Triple J tried to buy the senate seat, he needs to be indicted along with Blago.

You don't really expect an answer do you? I have asked that same question several times now - not a single hit - but it does seem to quite them down a bit.

And if GM failed, it was inevitable that Ford and Chrysler would too.

So the problem is not that the credit markets have dried up and that people have slowed their buying of cars due to the uncertain economy?


....Interesting....

"Republicans have twiddled their thumbs for decades, but decide NOW is the time to 1.) abolish unions and 2.) penalize the automakers."


Who's said anything about abolishing unions?


Actually the conservatives have been pointing this out for decades, just because the left wasn't listening doesn't mean the alarm hadn't been sounded.
