supposedly this has been debunked and SNOPES calls it false - HOWEVER -if you read the whole article on SNOPES, it leaves room to suspicion otherwise - they admit that the vast majority of targeted dealerships are republican owned, they claim that it's because more rich, white men own dealerships - and we know those rich, white men are republican, right?

Below: list of dealerships on the block - and they weren't being axed for poor sales. Many were and have been doing very well for decades.

It seems that this was only glanced over - not thoroughly investigated.

A TOTAL list of Chrysler/GM dealerships and their party affiliations needs to be looked to see if the same ratio - (in this case 787 republican donors to ONE dem) holds true company wide...

[right way right]

This may be something that could be classified as an unintentional conspiracy.

Who matters most to whom, UAW or Car Dealerships.

Sure as hell doesn't make it right!

I don’t take snopes as gospel. I think they have a pretty strong liberal bias. Could just be me.

I was in the auto dealership business, ultimately as a department manager in fixed operations (I was never involved directly in selling cars, but rather in parts and service). The only part of that ratio that looks off by a little bit would be the Obama side. I think the Obama support looks overstated, perhaps by one donor.

This was debunked by Snopes.
