It wasn't just white dealerships, it was conservative dealerships. If
you donated to his campaign you were alright, if you didn't, too bad.
After all, why would you close dealerships that were profitable and
selling your GM cars. You increase unemployment and you decrease the
number of cars you sell. Totally political and totally wrong.

Are you saying he's as bad as Dick Cheney?

That damn Dick Cheney.
He made the DOW go to 14,000, the SOB.
If he was more like Obama, the DOW would have been at 10,000, where it
belongs.

If not, will you join Reid in promising never to post in MIS again?

And exactly how did he do that?
Do you think it was related to emptying the US Treasury by giving
everyone a $350 check? Nah, Good ol' Jerry from Upstate NY would
never fall for a politician buying his vote.
Perhaps it was related to converting the inherited surplus into a
deficit? Nah. Cheney couldn't fool good ol' Jerry from Upstate NY
with a crazy stunt like that.
Maybe it was related to creating a war for the purpose of increasing
the value of his HAL options? Could Cheney do something as diabolical
like that? Nah.. .Good ol' Jerry from Upstate NY would have the
figured out in no time.
Gotta hand it to you, good ol' Jerry from Upstate NY... You know how
to apply your intelligence when evaluating politicians.

That is a fact, not some opinion you have about who did what.

Because the Clampetts were the biggest CHEATS around, dropping sales
made cheney brainies unprofitable for the US makers, coupled with piss
poor customer satisfaction. Will repugnents blame Michelle for Mercury

So what elections were held where Democrats took office Oct. 5th 2007?
The facts are there for anyone to see, regardless what you spew out of your

Nonsense. Do you seriously think a president of the US
personally scanned the backgrounds of thousands of dealers?

Hey.. you're talking to the same guys that wanted Obama to put on a
wet suit, dive down a mile and close the BP well single handed. Then
they got a little smarter and insisted that Obama leave Washington and
run the country out of a destroyer parked in the Gulf. At least
that's what I gleaned from a nauseating day listening to hatemonger
radio.
DraggonFodder
No, but I bet he had staff to do it for him.
DraggonFodder
You don't have to do something yourself to have caused the action to
be taken.

Hey, he plays golf weekly and basket ball, why not scuba diving.

So you have been listening to the lefty news radio. You should try
Glen Beck or Rush. They stick the knife in with facts to back it up.
Lefties just call everyone racists. Can't wait until they use Bush to
campaign against again. Old tactic won't work this time.
-=DirtBag©
Rush and BECK?
Two of the biggest right-wing goofballs on the air. Beck with his Nazi
uniform.. RUSH with is Oxycontin? We are talking two of the biggest TV
mouths that are so outlandish that you just have to dismiss EVERYTHING
they say..
Ever listen to Michael Savage and The Savage Nation? Fun to listen to
driving down the highway 3-6pm PDT but another right wing freak show.

Well, DF, you are going around repeating stuff you heard on hate
radio. Here is your big chance to prove they're telling you the
truth. Just give us some link on the Internet to back up your claim
that there are political considerations that determine which GM or
Chrysler dealerships get dropped.
If you cannot give us this level of proof, it only means that you are
a sucker for any hatemonger that is in sync with your own beliefs. I
know you are not a hateful guy, so here's your chance to prove it.
Just give us a website that validates what you are telling us. I
think that's being fair because you are expressing some very serious
charges and expecting us to believe them.

Bet all you want. Give us the name of the staffer that dictates to GM
which dealership gets dropped.
Ok... give us ANYTHING that is even REMOTELY connected to your charges
that politics plays a role in determining which dealership gets
dropped.

Savage? Yeah, he's fun and if you're driving you will not fall asleep
if he's on the air. He is sort of a rightwing Letterman. However, if
you have autistic kids, he is not a lot of fun.

Savage/Weiner is simply a blowhard who, like Helen Thomas, lost his
ability to mentally edit his words. It took Helen 80 years, while
Savage lost the editing ability in his forties.

Did you EVER have the ability to not lie and cheat and
be in any way a productive member of society? What DID lead
to your separation from the NYC Transit Authority? You
did have a pretty sweet gig there standing around on
construction sites with a stick in your reflective vest
at taxpayer expense...

It seems to me that many these days have little regard for truth. The
only truth that seems to matter to them is "who is for us and who is
against us". All other truths are routinely shuffled about in favor of
politics.

The TRUTH is what the Treasury Department's Inspector General said:
"The retained dealerships had generated 86 percent of new vehicle
sales in 2008."
Do you see race or politics there? I don't. I see the business of
selling cars.
