Can’t recall which one, Boxer or DiFi, during the $700 billion TARP bailout said her calls and messages were 9 to 1 against the financial bailout, but voted for it anyway.

Neil Stevens (Diary) Thursday, December 11th at 5:05PM EST (link)Ms. Senator,
The most important vote you can make for social justice this year is to oppose this fatcat bailout. The UAW is an Anglo Patriarchy which takes for itself without showing solidarity with other, more culturally diverse unions.
Plus it rakes in profits at the expense of the planet.
For the sake of all of us children of Gaia on the coastline, I beg you to oppose this bailout!

It is because the post accomplices the latter – it destroys Erick’s credibility. Erick’s wing of the GOP has nothing to add but their religiosity. His bailout phobia is due to the “populism” he derives from his religion. He never made anything but a sermon, in his life.

Oddly,
Tanggor (Diary) Thursday, December 11th at 6:19PM EST (link)that made me smile. It’s been awhile since I’ve had anyone try the old schoolyard masculinity taunt method.
Alas, my “tough talk” is merely a recognition that some folks (like yourself) are unable to learn any other way. I usually avoid volunteering for a teaching role, due to the obvious legal ramifications.
In your case, however, I’m inclined to make an exception.
Beyond that, it seems your issue is a personal one with Erick. Why the venom?
Is getting banned some kind of “feather-in-the-cap” thing with you? Have you really so little to say of substance that this is the best you can do?
I’ve been here a couple years, and I’ve read lots of Erick’s stuff. While I’m sure we don’t concur on all things, never once have I found him guilty of the charge you level.
Perhaps you really have nothing better to offer.

Janice Cantore Thursday, December 11th at 7:44PM EST (link)The prevailing wisdom on Fox today seemed to be that the passage or not of this “bailout” hinges on a game of chicken being played by the unions and the senate republicans. The unions, for whom a lot of the blame for this current situations rests, will not make any concessions, and why should they? If the car companies can hang on until Obama is inaugurated, they will be protected forever, the rest of the country be damned. Anyway, according to the panel on Fox, the republicans, are holding out, demanding the concessions. My fear is that the unions have bigger mangos and will win the game of chicken.
My question is, how can we ever beat the well oiled machine of the thug unions? Now, I say this as a person who was a union member for sixteen years. My dues kept going up and my money was always spent supporting people and causes I did not support, when I complained, I was told that the money would go to people favoring unions whether I liked it or not. I realize it was a different situation, a strike, but Ronald Regan stood up to the union, broke it, and won, And the destruction of that union has not, to my knowledge, caused the sky to fall. People work as air traffic controllers, are paid well, and things run smoothly. Unions are a relic, a detriment today, feeding the wallets of corrupt leadership, how do we beat them???

Janice, Prior to this
kyle8 (Diary) Thursday, December 11th at 7:48PM EST (link)The Unions had been in steep decline for many years. Now it is true that Democrats in charge will give them a shot in the arm. But you cannot change the essentials. We no longer are a manufacturing economy, and we have to compete with the rest of the world.
The Unions are still dinosaurs and if the Dems cannot get the economy to respond then they will be discredited along with their union bosses.

bk (Diary) Thursday, December 11th at 10:41PM EST (link)It looks like we are about to be snookered big time. The Senate GOP is apparently getting a compromise that gives the “car czar” stronger powers than was originally planned – more like a bankruptcy judge.
Well there’s one slight difference. As soon as Obama takes office and dumps the Bush car czar for a new one who won’t touch the UAW, it’s as if this so-called compromise were tossed out and all the bad parts kept in.
Instead of creating a role that at its best would almost be maybe kinda sorta like a bankruptcy judge, here’s a thought – let’s let a REAL bankruptcy judge do it!
Done here.
Husker (Diary) Friday, December 12th at 12:05AM EST (link)I don’t know if my Senators (Hagel – Nelson) will listen to reason on this, as they were both quoted as being inclined to support the $14 billion. I gave my two cents on this issue, and urged others to do so also.
My prediction is that Nelson will toe party line not to upset Dem leadership with the new session around the corner. Hagel? Who knows where his head is? It seems he’s content to coast out the rest of his term working not to burn bridges with the DC cocktail and rubber chicken circuit. I wish Johanns was in that seat already.
