Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd said he knew of no Republicans who would support the Democrats' $25 billion proposal and said he was disinclined to move a bill without bipartisan support.

Translation: the Democrats need the RINOs to cover for them.

It wouldn’t hurt to email Boehner to indicate support for this position.

They are spending billions for people to sit in "the rubber room." Fark ’em, they are too big (and bloated) NOT to fail. Let Toyota and Honda build the cars.

The democrats have the votes, they don’t need GOP assistance on this scam.

Even if President Bush grows a spine and vetos it, Obama can sign it after January 20th.

But to do that means taking full responsibility for one’s actions, it will be interesting to see what happens if the Republicans hold the line and make the dems vote for their “principles” or whatever they call their bailout of the UAW.

If they file Chapter 11 and reorganize like Kmart did, it would screw the remaining shareholders but like Kmart they would survive. Kmart bought Sears within a very short period after Chapter 11. Must not hurt business much.
Taxpayers should not have to pay for this mess. The auto industry with unions would be in the same mess in short order. Let the unions that bought the election buy the industry out of this mess.

Boner is trying to shore up support and silence critics with a bold move aimed at appeasing conservatives.
Don’t fail for it!
Boner must go!

Under Boner’s ‘leadership’ since taking over as Majority Leader (remember those days?) in February 2006, Republicans have lost 20% of their House seats in consecutive historic defeats.

The idea that Republicans would even consider keeping on a leader with a losing record like that is INSANE. Repeating the same actions and expecting a different outcome is the definition of INSANITY.

STOP THE INSANITY NOW!

10 Cars That Sank Detroit
Friday November 14, 5:34 pm ET

By Rick Newman

The global financial crisis is suffocating the Detroit automakers, but the problems at General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler have been festering for years—even when the mighty “Big Three” were earning billions. Aging factories, inflexible unions, arrogant executives and shoddy quality have all damaged Detroit. Now, with panicky consumers fleeing showrooms, catastrophe looms: Without a dubious federal bailout, all three automakers face the prospect of bankruptcy.

There will be plenty of business-school case studies analyzing all the automakers’ wrong turns. But, as they say in the industry, it all comes down to product. So here are 10 cars that help explain the demise of Detroit:
