Not necessarily. Democrats aren't going to pass a bailout to Detroit without Republican votes. If Republicans do the smart thing and not support this, it will die on its own.
They want the Repubs names on the bailout so they can get blamed either way.
That’s 1000% right. You can see the signs already — just like the Wall St. bailout, the DNC is looking for cover.
Well, now if the GOP merely sits down and helps themselves to a nice steaming cup of STFU, they can leave it all to the DNC. Anyone with a brain knows this is destined to fail and that the auto companies will be back very soon for a second helping. So the GOP should just allow the DNC to own this issue. It isn’t as tho the GOP is going to be losing legions of UAW votes over a thumbs-down on a bailout...
