A couple thoughts...maybe Congress wants more for our buck like greener cars and less oil consumption so that their image of being the green party stays on course? Their thoughts could be why give these guys money to continue building gas hogs when we represent radical nature loving nutjobs? We have them by the short hairs and now we as Dems can force the Al Gore, Nancy P. approach to a greener country down their throats for bailout money? So possibly, the power of the tree huggers and the american's public opinion poll (which could influence future elections) are at play here?
Another thought...didn't the labor unions side with the Dems? I wonder how that will play out? These guys side with whichever candidate promises them the most favors. JMO
