If you want to buy an American car, buy a Nissan that is made in Tennessee or Mississippi by non-union workers.

Correction. Nissans are assembled in Tennessee and Mississippi (or wherever). There's a big difference between manufacturing and low-tech final assembly which is what most people do in the transplants. And if GM and Ford were ever to go down you can bet your last dollar that the transplants would instantly leave the US. They really don't want to be here and they are only here because they were forced to manufacture here by trade conditions imposed upon them during the Reagan administration. If the US had no leverage on the transplants in the form of US Manufacturing, they would leave in a millisecond.

By the way, I cannot stand the UAW either but we still need manufacturing here and the US and we will have to deal with the UAW for the time being. In the not to distant future, they WILL go away. But we must not cut off our nose to spite our face.

I do not agree. Saying that we have to get along with the labor unions is no different than saying we have to get along with RINO candidates like Mike Castle. Well against all the conventional wisdom, Christine O'Donnell defeated Mike Castle and she may yet win in two weeks against Coons. But even if she does not, we have the satisfaction of sticking to our principles and relegating Castle to the dustbin of history.

These unions that you claim we must get along with are spending over $100 million this election cycle to "Save the Democrat Majorities."

So to hell with "go along to get along". Unions are the enemy.

Apparently good intentions are plenty in your eyes.

Personally, I don’t care if the Volt is the best car on wheels. It is produced by a company who donated all of its bad debt to the American taxpayer. This same company was then wrapped up as a gift to the labor unions. These same labor unions are now looking to cash out, exchanging my tax dollars for money in their pockets.

GM and Chrysler are dead to me.

You make a good shill, though. I have to give you that.
