I would guess that 90+ per cent of all car dealers that give to politicians are Republicans so it would follow that most that were shut down were Republicans. I would bet that most that stayed open were Republican owned, too. Republicans OWN businesses. I would really, really doubt that the Obama administration had someone go through a list. The Chrysler dealer closed in my area was a little dinky one in a small town. All the big ones stayed open. This sounds like tinfoil hat stuff to me.
I’d like to think your right yet Rats own dealerships as well......2 dealers we have in big city way west of us has a massive dealership and a smaller dealership. The rat owns the smaller of the two. Rats is staying open and the other one is closing. I do not know the larger dealers politics so can’t say if they are GOP donors or not.
Stay safe and lets pray this is only tinfoil crap ! Thus far the numbers and information says different.
Nite !
It says at the link, “Chrysler dealership owners donated to Republicans over Democrats by a ratio of 76% to 24%.”

That may very well be, but remember that old adage: "Where there's smoke............"
Moreover, don't you find it just a little disconcerting, that the Car Czar and the entire gang of clueless moonbats who are overseeing this debacle REFUSE to be accountable and answer a simple question: What is the criteria they are using to designate which Dealership is being forced to close?
Common sense would dictate that this is not an unreasonable request and one which should no problem to answer should they have a formula which will pass the smell test?
While not wearing my trusty tin foil hat this morning, I seriously doubt they are using the "Dart on a Board" method and as it has been reported that MANY of the Dealerships on the chopping block are "SUCCESSFUL" and "PROFITABLE."
Can you explain that as closing money-making, Dealerships makes 0 sense, does it not???
LAST BUT NOT LEAST, is what to hell is our Gubmint doing sticking its nose into INSTRUCTING Chrysler as to which Dealerships MUST be closed in the first place; that should be left up to Chrysler, or better yet, hashed out in Bankruptcy court
Not a good guess on your part...this is Chicago thuggery politics at a national level, kind of like what Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin and other wonderful guys did. I suppose there were lots of folks who thought those who initially opposed them wore “tinfoil hats” also.
Seems to me that, for us to get a real picture of this, we need to know the political demographics of the larger total dealership pool. I would tend to think that most would be conservative leaning, but I could be wrong.
If, in fact, the larger pool DOES tend to conservative, then one would rightly expect that a broad draw down would impact a larger number of conservative leaning owners.
However, all this is speculation that could be put to rest (or further inflamed) by the release of the standards and process by which the ‘lists’ were generated. What business criteria were applied?
So much for transparency from the anointed one...
That is the mantra of the liberals.....and it's also greatly exaggerated.
You are either misinformed (swallowed the liberal Kool-Aid) or are at least following in their footsteps.
And did you "really, really doubt" that the Clintons were going after and punishing their Republican/conservative opposition via sicking the IRS on them in endless audits during the entire eght years of their "reign"?
The damned DemocRats are capable of all this and much, MUCH more. The are the true fascists. If you don't know that FACT by now, you probably don't belong at FR.
You are wrong. There’s no tin foil hats, but you need to take off your blinders.
