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.

"Meet the new Republican party, as described by Cheney ~ the Herbert Hoover Republicans."

From what I'm hearing there's money in the pipeline available to fund loans right now.

Sorry, I have nothing against you personally friend. Don't take it personally and I won't. I am fed up with Republicans being totally certain and totally wrong for the past 8 years and earlier in the House. And now people are passing off blame right and left instead of holding them accountable. It's not about you, trust me.

Yup, that is the problem. And Republicans get really angry when you call their party on it. Just like anyone who disagreed with them was unpatriotic, a bad guy blah blah blah. Anything to distract I guess, regardless of whether it's a low blow.

Hey, people are already revising history with regard to Bush - maybe they can write that Herbert Hoover was the first true "compassionate conservative.."
