Bailout Backlash! GOP CONSPIRES WITH TOYOTA TO KILL US AUTO INDUSTRY


Traitors run amok in DC. The insidious way our dire trade rivals operate, using or own elected officials, never ceases to astonish me. Treason pays most handsomely! In this case, the GOP southern Senators are all playing interference with Toyota’s blessings. They are working hard to kill the US auto industry. Time to look deeper into this matter. Letting trade rivals not only infiltrate our native markets but then, open factories here and then undermine laws and systems supporting native industries: this is treason. Of the worst kind.

NAFTA began the process of killing US unionized industries. On top of that, allowing former slave states to undermine union states was a stupid move. Of course, it makes cheaper stuff! But then, who can buy even cheap stuff, when we are all enslaved? This means we must look long, way ahead in the timeline, when considering all these Trojan horses being set up deep inside the US.

McConnell is working for the Japanese. He gets lots of campaign cash from Toyota executives and others involved in land deals, etc, with the Japanese. He works for Japan, Inc. And he was told to kill the Detroit rescue bill. He hates fellow Americans. Many GOP leaders actually are not patriotic in the slightest.

For example, Cheney’s company, Oilfield Technologies and Services - Halliburton has moved to Dubai. When the Supreme Court installed Cheney in the White House….er… the Naval Observatory building in DC, Halliburton was going bankrupt. Since then, it has become flush with money. The US Treasury is empty, the US is deep in debt but those government contracts for Halliburton have certainly feathered Cheney’s fat little nest and laid a number of eggs, too.

2. Oh good grief, Toyota isn't trying to kill the US auto industry
Shit like this is why reasonable people are sometimes loathe to take progressives seriously.

Toyota Drops After Auto Bailout Collapses in Senate (Update2)

Toyota Motor Corp., Japan’s biggest carmaker, fell the most in a month on the Tokyo Stock Exchange after the U.S. Senate failed to reach an agreement on a bailout plan for Detroit automakers.

The carmaker slumped 310 yen, or 10 percent, to close at 2,760 yen in Tokyo. Honda Motor Co. fell 12 percent to 1,921 yen, and Nissan Motor Co. lost 11 percent to 308 yen.

The Senate rejected a House-backed plan to loan General Motors Corp. and Chrysler LLC $14 billion. The failure of a U.S. carmaker would further weaken an economy where Japan’s three biggest carmakers traditionally earn more than half of their operating profit.

“This is very bad news,” said Shigeru Matsumura, a market analyst at SMBC Friend Securities Co. in Tokyo. “A collapse in Detroit would seriously damage the economy, which is bad for Japan’s automakers.”

10. Southern ideologues may not see how many things are interconnected
Edited on Fri Dec-12-08 10:13 AM by depakid
but Asian business people do.

It's the Southern and Rocky Mountain West Americans who are hurting us all in this context- not the Japanese or Koreans.

We have met the enemy and he is us.

11. Whatever! Foreign auto plants are going to have to unionize or they have to LEAVE!
We will not be treated like SLAVES in our own country! PERIOD!

I don't care what country they're from. Japan, Germany whatever...

Maybe we will cancel our debt to the BOJ. They loaned Bush money and he stole it. Why should WE pay it back? Things can get nasty.

8. Time for a Citizens Campaign to aid our workers
Trade in your Toyota for a used American car.
Auto industry and dealerships should jump on the opportunity asap.
