Just another case of a pressure group mau-mauing the banks, with the help of Congress, to issue bad loans to unviable institutions, which is what got us into this mess to begin with.

Well, what do NH’s Senators think about the Auto Bailout Bill?…

Well, until Illinois Gov. Blago decided that he needed national press (albeit, for ALL the wrong reasons), the Auto Bailout bill for the Big Three American Auto (GM, Ford, Chrysler) was one of the big stories lately (and still is). So,……

[...] And now, just got this e-mail from GOP Sen. Jim DeMint’s office: “Ensign is exactly right. This bailout will hurt taxpayers, it won’t help the economy, and it will prevent these car companies from becoming competitive. The only way for the automakers to survive is a complete restructuring that allows them to break free from the stranglehold of union bosses. If Senator Ensign insists on debate on this legislation, I’ll fully support him.” [...]

Here's my question: if this country lost 533,000 jobs last month, then why is all of the focus on preserving the jobs the "Big 3" provide? What about all of those other folks? Could it be that this isn't so much about the workers/jobs as it is the UAW? As always, with anything, follow the money and you'll find your answer.

I'd take these three and dump almost all of the other Republicans. At least then their platform would be consistent and different than the one espoused by the DNC. "Conservatives" can only win by effectively arguing the point that their ideas are different and better than those of the DNC/liberal Republicans. Obama, Reid, and Pelosi are giving the R's plenty of proverbial rope, if only the rest of the RNC doesn't get weak-kneed and join the DNC in their efforts. Bottom line: The RNC needs a Bobby Knight figure to get a case of the ass and show some leadership. Compromise/bipartisanship = acknowledgement that your idea sucks.

Republicans will do NOTHING.

Conservatives have no voice… no power.

Any true conservative knows that the right answer is bankruptcy and not a ‘bailout’ or ‘bridge loan’ and ‘hand out’ or whatever anyone wants to call it.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
- Lao Tzu

The Big 3 need to learn how to fish. And that means throwing the UAW of their shoulders and producing a car at a competitive price. If we hand them another fish they’ll just be back for more…
