Shelby and company putting political grudges ahead of the country

[Truth Teller]

Wonder how even a repugnant could oppose something like the auto loans? Political payback.

"Over the last decade, the UAW has spent more than $10 million to elect Democrats and defeat Republicans -- some of them the same GOP senators now being asked to rescue the domestic auto industry.

Those Republican senators, who may hold the key to getting the $14-billion lifeline to General Motors Corp. and Chrysler LLC passed through Congress, are clamoring for deeper union concessions as a condition to any kind of support."

"Complicating matters for the union -- which has been lobbying hard for passage of the rescue plan -- is that it threw its political weight behind many of the Democratic opponents who managed to beat Republican incumbents last month. Now those same defeated GOP senators are being asked to save the domestic auto industry from ruination before giving up their seats."

4. it is the last thoros of Republican power

they are trying to make one last big splash before they are forced by the VOTERS to slink away.

Union busting is dispicible.

Their ulterior motive is dispicible



Healthcare has to be taken out of the grip of enployment . There has got to be a better way because it could ultimately ruin the unions. The Government needs to step in and help

by the way, we need WELLNESS care instead of disease managment. The whole thing is ass backwards.
