Republicans New Trick

The Senate Republicans are in the process of using the auto-bail out as a means of simply destroying the UAW by trying to force the Big Three into having the exact same wages, benefits and work rules as Honda & Toyota. Good to know they are still clinging to ideology first.

But even darker is that this represents a repeat of the ploy used by House Republicans during the banking bail-out. Knowing that the Democrats will be held responsible for nothing getting done, Democrats are forced to negotiate a solution with Bush, a Republican President.

Once that is complete they have to turn around and negotiate with Congressional Republicans who won't fall in line behind Bush. Hell, they only need 9 of 49 Republicans to follow Bush's lead to pass the damn bill, but Bush is such a eunich that he can't even deliver 20% of his caucus.
