For all you Big 3 Basher's

“dude, only you are saying one side is to blame. I am saying union companies suck. both management and the union leadership. Together they combine to ruin a good thing.”

“Sure, the UAW can be said to be an "impediment", but there are many factors besides that.........too many dealers, paleo-management, corporate arrogance, etc.

The UAW is simply a convenient target for those who already hate organized labor.

Could it be some sort of envy??”

“If I envied them I wouldn't be so happy that NC is a right to work state. Let the UAW stay up in the great lakes and ruin their economy and away from my state and we are all good.”

“There ya go again, blaming the UAW as though there is no one else responsible.

The UAW must have their evil mitts in Wall Street as well.

"Right To Work".....ha ha ha!!
It's more like the right to get #&%!$ed!”

“no one is forcing anyone to stay in North Carolina. They can go work in the union towns if they want.”

“I was once forced to stay in South Carolina for 90 days but I escaped to Yankeeland.”

“As with the Corps., the fed.gov.,the State govs., the unions are going to have to become current in their biz.. Ron Reagan and the Newt are long gone(having seen dah Newt lately shows him further into the gone category than Reagan)LOL.”

“lol, keep preaching that nonsense. perhaps you missed the elections in europe earlier this week.”

“SCOTUS just OK'd the purchase of the worst auto builder ITW(GM) by the second worst auto builder ITW(FIAT).”

“How motivating can it be to work for the losing side?

The lack of motivation comes from the lack of competition. Why be motivated when all you need is simple seniority? Why be motivated if there are zero consequences for lack of performance? Why be motivated when the company you work for has no option on labor? The GM plant here has to basically strip search it's workers because they steal anything not nailed down. The attitude of entitlement is worse than any white collar business I've ever seen.

And keep in mind, this isn't just what I think goes on. This is what I know goes on straight from UAW workers I know well.”

“But, the other side of the coin sparkles in the Post Shredded Wheat ad. 'Progress? Look what it has given us; 'Up to our necks in landfill and down to wire on natural resources and Global Warming? It's out to get us.'

“I don't absolve the unions, Oil Can Harry.

To listen to these union-haters they are the sole cause of GM's demise.

Is that Snidely Whiplash who is head of the UAW?”

“I know marxo, they're every bit as right about the unions as you are about their gawd awful Devil Dealing Auto Pukes. Not that different from most subjects on this bored, both sides are totally right, yet, also totally wrong.”

“The rightists are the wrongest.”

“I'll agree with that. Hey, oil's down to $71.10, it was up more earlier, the speculators are wandering off into some 'My Religion' style oil pricing in all the commodities, again.”

“Anyone who owned stocks or bonds of GM should have know that dinosaur was stuck in the tar pit and would only sink deeper. Don't worry all the fat cat's won't go hungry, they can all sell illegal drugs through the closed down dealerships.”

“yes but the important thing is that we gave the iraqi people their freedom.”

“And none of the current financial watchdogs gave a rats ass how much that cost.

“That little adventure will continue to 'cost' some people for another 50 years.

It was nauseating when Cheney's marketing people branded it "Operation Iraqi Freedom".   Now that PR phrase is chiseled into grave markers at Arlington.”

“Our foreign military presence is unsustainable besides Iraq and Afghanistan.”

“To all you BIG 4 bashers,
Thanks for nothin"

“We own two Jeeps and we are happy with both.”

“I am on my fourth F150. I love my trucks. I am only on the fourth because I like new cars and I insist on having a valid warranty. I usually trade em in by 50K but the killing machine is at 70K so I am looking for a new car. Downsizing actually. Looking at Suburu.”

“Buy what ever makes you happy or what you can afford.”

“Our toyota 4 Runner is a Tiger tank without the 88mm gun.... Also had several Hondas that served us well”
