A good TV ad, listing several of the targeted dealers, and documenting their support for Republicans, would help a great deal to show the public what a partisan hack Obama really is!

It would also be helpful if we could find a car dealer who is not being shut down, who happens to be an Obama suck up!

Not enough information here. It may be that Obama-supporting dealerships are hard to find, closed down or not.

As someone mentioned on another of these threads, we should look at the ones remaining open with respect to donations. It could simply be that dealerships are heavy republican donors to begin with. The real story is not only “who is being closed?”, but “who is remaining open?”.

I’m sure this was *just* some crazy “coincidence” and nothing “personal”.

Does anybody know who picked which ones would close? Was it a company guy, or a political operative that actually picked them?

Right, or if car dealers are in the main conservatives, they'd not likely be Obama supporters regardless.

Somehow we HAVE TO kick this hornet’s nest and see that the general public gets an earfull of it daily. It must go viral. Even the American Idol drones will have a problem with such an outrageous abuse of governmental power.

This NAZI crap from the left cannot be tolerated.

That is why I thought there must be some other motivation. What better motivation than money!

If you want to get money out of politics, you have to get politics out of money. If Obama is going to be taking over businesses and deciding who makes money and who get’s bankrupted, any business owner would have to be crazy not to give money to the Democrats. He would almost have a fiduciary duty to bribe.

It will be interesting to see the “Diversity” composition of the dealerships, once the dust has settled.

Is there the possibility of a lawsuit here? Could a dealership claim undue political influence on the GM decision process now that GM is partially owned by government (nobama?)

The owners of the “remaining open” dealerships probably reflect less light.... just conjecture, but anyone doubt it?
