“I will NEVER buy one of their cars, period! And now, I’m going to encourage others not to buy them either!”

and six months after the bailout, they’ll demand they be even MORE green, which will raise the cost, making us want them even less and making the car companies even MORE unprofitable.

Sorry, but the point is nationalizing the auto industry is socialism. So, there is no discussion as to it’s merits.

Whatever the reason for nationalizing any industry it is still socialism. And the model of socialism being used in this mess is the “National Socialiist Model”. Which BTW, is taken from NAZI Germany from 1939’ish.

“Socialism always rides in on the Trojan horse of emergency” Herbert Hoover.

They create the emergency so they can frighten people so we will give up our freedom.

Bush is a low life socialist POS because of the damage he has done to this country with theses nationalzations.

Sorry if you lack the understading as to the damage he has done.

Our freedom is gone, and soon our way of life.

No, I was just being a good FR citizen.

We'll never go wrong by taking the high road! :-)

” it seems that all that is left up there are the teat sucking, welfare recipient, union boot licking, leftist base.”

and those dang snowbirds.

"and six months after the bailout, they’ll demand they be even MORE green, which will raise the cost, making us want them even less and making the car companies even MORE unprofitable."

I believe the Soviets used to have a car company that operated under those principles.

I went to the Yamaha shop today and left with the "out the door" price for the 2007 Yamaha Roadliner. I'll liquidate some stock before capital gains taxes rise and stocks get hammered by Obama. It will be a cash deal. No credit impact. The Roadliner is good for long distance travel. 45 MPG. The DR650SE can do it at 55 MPG albeit less comfortably. The Yamaha TW200 and XT250 are good for 73 MPG, but not really freeway suitable. I'll have to wait until the streets and clean and dry before bringing the Roadliner home.

Excellent ad. I love the motto on the bottom. Sickeningly true.

[CottonBall]

All the loan money in the country isn’t going to help if people aren’t buying.

Yup - that's the problem. This will only be the first bailout of the Big 3.

[CottonBall]

it seems that all that is left up there are the teat sucking, welfare recipient, union boot licking, leftist base.

Hey, quit mincing words! Tell us what you really think.

[CottonBall]

Consider me a patriot behind enemy lines.

Does that mean you work for one of the Big 3?

I felt the same way when I was teaching. Being surrounded by a bunch of liberal entitlement-grabbing socialist nonthinking wackos was awful.

[PeteePie]

It's funny but at the same time gets my blood boiling too.

[Iscool]

Speaking of screaming...there’s a LOT of noise here in Michigan about anger against the southern states and the Republicans who voted against this bailout bill. The fury and hatred about to seep out of this godforsaken state is going to be stunning.

I don't understand the outrage...

You guys have been warned for years that if you keep voting for pro Nafta, pro WTO, pro New World Order candidates, eventually the chickens would come home to roost...

I don't work for GM directly but if they go down, my wife and I will both lose our jobs...And there are no other jobs to move to...They are gone...

You want to work on getting the jobs back from China, I'll be more inclined to lean toward your side of the issue...

[Eric Blair 2084]

Apparently you work for a supplier.

The world will not come to an end if the Little 3 file for an orderly Ch 11 bankruptcy with our tax money providing the DIP financing.

They can move on dot org and continue to pay you.

Or we can just give them enough money to get them through till next week.

“’You guys have been warned for years that if you keep voting for pro Nafta, pro WTO, pro New World Order candidates, eventually the chickens would come home to roost...”
>>>>>>>>>>.............
The chickens have hit in spades -not just this auto bailout but the whole wall street melt down can be laid at the feet of these free trade one worlders...who have gutted the greatest economy the world had ever known.

[stevio]

No I don’t work for the Big 3. I live in Pennsylvania, which until recently was at least purple, now with all the influx from NY & NJ, we’re turning blue. Sad.

[CottonBall]

Oh, so the ‘enemy lines’ is being in a blue state? I hear ya there. I wish I could move to a strongly red state. And out of Mexifornia. You’re still in much better shape in PA than we are here. There’s no hope for the border states. But I hope the rest of the country can be saved.
