We’ll see who steps to the front. So far, Dick Cheney is about the only one.

Rush is getting into more detail, too.

The gop is cowering because the sexretary of state has 900 FBI files and has probably threatened to release the raw data on repubs. The klinton stench still remains.

[cornfedcowboy]

Which spreadsheet are you referring to?

[snowrip]

Where is the GOP?

Wiping Pelosi's ass.

[3catsanadog]

Glenn Beck needs to know about this. And Hannity. And, yes, even O'Reilly.

And Rush. And Malkin and Coulter. And every Republican Congressman and woman.

A sample size of 50, however, is not the statistical stuff from which small margins of error are derived...been years and years since I took statistics, but this would seem to be a fairly simple statistical analysis using - I think - the Chi-square method if someone had the time to go through that spread-sheet the article mentioned - compare the figures in cells Repub donations-open/ Repub-donations-closed/ Dem-donations-open/ Dem-donations-closed - using all of the available data rather than a skewed small sample makes it much more difficult to dispute the findings......

Sniveling it seems..

This is just the beginning, and it won’t be limited to banks and car companies..

[exit82]

Taxpayer money is being used to keep these car companies going.

Dem operatives keep the Dem donating dealers open, but make sure to close the GOP donating dealers.

This eliminates competition for the Dem dealers, while destroying a source of revenue to the local and national GOP.

And it is happening in broad daylight!

I have called my Senators and Congressman and asked them what Constitutional authority does Zero, Geithner and Rattner have to do any of this?

The TARP legislation mentions nothing about car companies, and the White House cannot spend money without the approval of Congress.

It is becoming clear that the Dems in Congress have no intention of following their oath of office.

Let’s also face this: It’s just no fun to be part of a dying political party in its last days.

"if someone had the time"

There's the rub. This story has been out long enough that by now there has been plenty of time.

"skewed small sample"

Looking only at closed dealers is more skewed than looking at a small sample of both closed and open dealers.

If you spend a lottle time looking a Chelsea Schilling's list, it is hard to accept that Obama shut down a dealer because he gave $300 or $500 to the RNC. Why doesn't someone cut and paste Chesea's list onto the thread, or give it a separate thread?

bump for later

Third paragraph. The word spreadsheet is an active link to a spreadsheet.

the political donations made by dealers on Chrysler's closing list, data for whom are now in a spreadsheet database,

[TwelveOfTwenty]

Assuming this all pans out as we think it will, we could buy from the dealers who lost their Chrysler/GM dealerships but still sell other brands.

[yoe]

Thank you for all that work...bookmarked for later dot-connecting. If this question is answered in your post I will find it - if not....can you or anyone tell us where all the money already given to GM has gone? Is any of it accounted for if so by whom and where can you check up on it.

How many of you think that Obama is a Fascist? How many think we've been robbed? Thanks.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks!

Looking only at closed dealers is more skewed than looking at a small sample of both closed and open dealers... It is, but I'm saying look at all cases which gives the four cells required for a chi-square analysis Repubs/Dems X Closed/Not Closed - that's why it would take a real committment of time - $500 is not much of a contribution from a large company, especially when most contributions went to Republicans and three quarters of the dealers had to remain open......

Thanks—no, I did not see this. Many thanks!

Josh Painter and Joe Smith are doing all the heavy lifting on this. Just doing the jobs the media is too corrupt or too lazy to do. More power to these two guys.
