Good thing we still have an auto industry
 

GM sold about 25,000 Cruzes last month, vaulting the model past
perennial leaders such as the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord to become
the best-selling car in the U.S. Both Toyota and Honda had fewer
models to sell because of parts shortages caused by the March 11
earthquake and tsunami in Japan.

Wait a minute...wasn't that a "bad" idea? Wouldn't it have been better
(for the GOP) to toss hundreds of thousands of factory workers out of work?

Yes, it would have saved us from having to pay out pension and
benefits to people who vote for the Democratic party.

And, because they pay taxes, it kept more money flowing into the
federal government, which makes Republicans go crazy!!!

I think it is becoming obvious to the smarter independents that the
Republican game plan is entirely cynical and built upon the idea of
stopping whatever the government can to to encourage employment. The
Republicans think raising the misery index will put them back in the
White House.

On a brighter front, Michele Bachmann is now leading the Iowa GOP caucus
poll. :)

All auto sales were down. GM just looks better because Toyota and Honda
could not build cars.

And, of course, this is bad for America. No right-wing agenda from
you, of course.

It would certainly benefit the economy to have even more people
unemployed, according to the right-wing.

That's the GOP wet dream for 2012...and it is doing its best to make it so.

It's still a GM product. You could sell 25,000 garbage cans, but they're
still garbage cans.
