Truly despicable

It's truly despicable that a small cadre of republican senators actively want to sacrifice hundreds of thousands if not millions of jobs all in an effort to cripple the UAW. It's clear beyond doubt that this weeks killing of the bridge loan legislation for the auto industry was nothing more than an attempted murder of good union jobs in the country. It isn't even politically motivated...union busting will NOT bring in more voters to the republican party!!! Even the Dark Lord, Dick Cheney this week knew the writing on the wall...

At a closed-door GOP lunch on Wednesday, Dick Cheney tried to convince Southern Senate Republicans to pass the White House auto bailout bill. If they didn't, he warned, "it's Herbert Hoover time."

Check out the list of senators who voted YES for 700BILLION dollars for the financial industry bailout, but voted NO for the auto workers...

Someone get me the transcripts of the hearings with the bankers and financial heads where THESE senators grilled them on THEIR pay, on THEIR EMPLOYEE pay, on how THEY TRAVELED to the hearings, on how THEY are going to restructure their companies to not let this happen again....$700,000,000,000.00 given out without ANY OF THESE QUESTIONS!

With the election of Obama, trickle down Reaganomics HAS to be dead or dying. However, until the next congress, these dastardly senators will do everything they can to maintain life support for policies that are ruining this country.

It's sickening.
