That first one was really gut wrenching to see
Detroit - brought to you by the Democrat Party, liberalism and the UAW.
Exactly, just the same reason that Eire, Pa. and Cleveland, OH are industrial wastelands Unions.
Well, a picture can tell a thousand words.

No, we haven't stolen enough. We are just getting started.
The people that want Card Check essentially want to make the rest of the country look like Detroit...that is the ONLY result that can happen (and they know it).
It would be VERY SMART for the Republicans to get in front of the issue and continue to show clips and pictures of what Detroit looks like and ask America if that’s what they REALLY want for the rest of the country.

Seems to be a good adjunct the great website you gave the link to.
Surely there must be a better position to take than simply “pro-corporate” or “anti-corporate”. It is interesting reading some of those comments blame GM for outsourcing the jobs to asia/mexico. Fact is, employees there will work for pennies. We won’t.
And of course the pensions, unions, etc can shoulder the blame as well.
It is the uAW far more than management. The laws are designed for the unions to extort, blackmail and hold hostage the companies.
The UAW is now trying to kill Ford and Ford is making some very good vehicles.

Yep, I don’t see how the property owners aren’t being held accountable
And those Unions walked away rich Washington lobbyist
Detroit is a model of what happens when liberal Democrats spread the wealth. It brought the whole city down. Rule of law collapsed when people looked the other way.
the city went from the highest median income to a pittance.
Average home value $7,500. Trailers in Mississippi are worth more than that.
This is a shame. This is also an example of what America will become if we don’t get back to making everything rather than letting Commie China make it and sell it to us.
That lead paragraph reads like something out of Atlas Shrugged. It’s a shame when a once-thriving metropolis is turned into little more than a concrete and steel ghost town with pockets of ghettoes and a lot of people who have essentially given up on ever becoming anything. It reeks of hopelessness.
Liberals don’t really want to share the wealth, they merely want to spread the misery.
In 1959 he bought his house for $6,000, he couldn’t get it back now, if he wanted to move.
