dick, Are you nuts man? Unions have been supportive of the Democratic Party for fucking decades. Men & women who work for a living can expect nothing from Republican leadership. You better go back and read a little the auto companies fucking BEGGED the unions to accept practically worthless shares in the company in EXCHANGE for the union concessions on EXISTING binding contracts. They fucking BEGGED the Unions to accept the deal. You show me where the POTUS gave them the company, al almost or otherwise. That's the word you expect to use as your escape hatch isn't it? The word "almost"? rather sunjectivem isn't it.
Now, how the fuck did we get off the subject of the clunker program? If this is just going to turn into a generalized conservative piss-and- moan-fest, and not a sane discussion on a specific issue then just piss off.
