Deal Dead

O.K. -- the auto bailout deal is dead. No white knights to save GM, Ford, and Chrysler, the way we did Chrysler-Plymouth back in the days of Lee Iacocca.

The Republicans seem to be the party that truly HATES Americans.

If the big three go out of business, how many jobs will be lost? How many dealerships will close? How many salesmen, mechanics, parts stores, suppliers, will disappear?

How many towns that depend on huge auto plants for their existence will whither away?

Toyota, Honda, and Nissan also have falling sales. What will those Southern Republicans say when their corporate masters demand more concessions to keep those factories open?

After all, with another million or two unemployed, ALL auto sales will plummet.

What will the Republican-Hate-The-Working-Person brigade say when their chickens come home to roost.

These are folks who will "cut off their nose to spite their face", folks who cannot discern their own self interest.

As everything burns down around them, they will defend their immoral acts as some sort of "morality".

They lack empathy, foresight, and any kind of sense -- common or un.
