We should not buy any union made products or support any business that supports the socialist agenda.

Buying union is unpatriotic.

Not important whether you buy “Union” but why buy German, Japanese et al...what did the Germans & Japanese ever do for America besides wage war....

BTW, I quit buying Fords when they raised the Vietnamese Communist flag at corporate headquarters.

The govt can help the automakers - but the clowns still have to make cars that we’re willing to buy.

Since that won’t happen, I await the “state car” mandate from the dim-bulb-rats.

Diligently research and then buy the best vehicle to suit your needs at the best cost to suit your budget.

Virtually every car or other large ticket item is either made by a company that has unions or a communist country. Take yer pick...

I avoid buying union as much as possible.

the exception is automobiles....I buy American in that case. I like the big fat excessiveness of American cars, especially 4X4’s. My dream is to get a 67 Belvedere/satellite/GTX. I had one new as a kid and selling it was a big mistake.

I think I will go to Walmart in a while just to p!$$ off the union thugs.

I bought my last Big 3 UAW vehicle last year. More likely than not, I’ll be getting rid of it sooner than later because it’s a POS. It has 16,000 miles on it, I have replaced the rotors twice (going on the 3rd) and have put new brakes on it 3 times. In one year. Most of it within a 4 months period. But the service manager tells me everytime that’s normal and they have a lot of problems with the vehicle. LOL Very comforting...

I’ll be happier than a pig in you know what when I trade that sorry excuse for a vehicle in.

As for everything else, we get everything we need at Cabelas, Wal-Mart and our local gun shop. F the union.

Gonna be kinda funny watching your house burn down as you fight off the union firefighters. I’m sure the union cop will enjoy your excuse that you weren’t dealing with the union thugs at the DMV so you didn’t get your license renewed. Those are just flat out taxpayer supported services.

As far as goods are concerned, go ahead and bypass unions to buy directly from commuinist China but you’ll have to go shopping in china to bypass the unions at the ports.

“President George W. Bush saved the U.S. steel industry by imposing tariffs on imported imported steel in 2002, and so the Dem Steel Union, of course, voted Obamacratic. They will be rewarded with a deepened recession.”

This is my favorite line.
I will not buy any car from a comapny that accepted a bailout. And I’m still considering whether Ford is worthy just because of the UAW scum.

Practice makes perfect - and Ford is a good brand to buy if you like practicing your mechanic skills!

Actually they supported Kerry at that time. The USW ignored the fact that Bush helped their industry with the steel tariffs, only to bash him when he withdrew the tariffs. Bush was under pressure by the WTO over the tariffs.

This last election, the USW was supporting Edwards until he dropped out and then was split between Clinton and Obama. They put their support behind Obama after Hillary's defeat looked inevitable.

I buy Hyundai! Built in Alabama (at least my Santa Fe is) and they have a tremendous warranty. Great quality, all the bells and whistles at an economical price.

The question should be.Should Americans buy Automobiles from companies that are bailed out with taxpayer dollars. My answer to that would be hell NO.Why should I pay for a car twice.It doesn’t make any sense too me.
