Searching For A Cause? UAW To Picket Random Hyundai Dealerships On Behalf Of Fired Korean Worker

Why the dealers? They should be at corporate HQ. And if they are into human rights, then they need to look else where first.

I believe this is a matter of trying to maximize public exposure. That's why they are doing it at dealers.

Hey BSBB

May I call you BS?? Thank you! Just like ANY moron to label someone you don't understand, show me in ANY post where I have defended one party over another! Please I can wait!!!

The comment was NOT even directed at YOU yet you feel the need to respond!! Lonely, I imagine!! I simply asked someone to set the record straight! That, I am sure, is foreign to you in KOOL AID land!!

The UAW has the same warped mentality as the occupy fleabaggers, protesting against the wrong people in the wrong place for the wrong reasons. The occupy fleabaggers should be in front of the White House protesting against a corrupt gov't that promotes crony capitalism (Solyndra, etc.) in exchange for campaign money and the UAW hacks should be at work, thankful that their undereducated and over-demanding asses have jobs to begin with.

I am buying you a brand spanking new S65 AMG Designo if you just level with people on here! I know you are a Republican BUT...




"The Energy Department's top lending officer told Congress that the SOLYNDRA loan application was NOT only filed during President Bush's term, but it SURGED towards completion before Obama took office in January 2009.

'By the time the Obama administration took office in late January 2009, the loan programs' staff had already established a goal of, and timeline for, issuing the company a conditional loan guarantee commitment in March 2009,' said Jonathan Silver, who heads the Energy loan program.

Republicans pushed back hard against this version of events, unearthing internal Energy Department emails that indicate the panel evaluating the loans had made the unanimous decision to shelve Solyndra's application two weeks before Obama took office."

If the first consideration of Solyndra came during the presidency of George W. Bush, that means that the application for the loan guarantee came after the Energy Policy Act of 2005 was passed. Clearly, this type of loan guarantee program was not a Bush Depratment of Energy (DOE) priority. The fact that Solyndra submitted a loan application does not mean the Bush White House or DOE approved the program or did more than accept the application and shuffle the paperwork a bit. And the DOE emails mentioned above appear to confirm that is all that happened.

It only became a White House priority after Obama took office. As the same ABC news report above goes on to note, "The Solyndra loan was so central to this strategy that the administration initially planned to have Obama personally announce it, and later sent the president to the company's solar panel manufacturing facility in Fremont, California to celebrate its work."

But the Obama White House's attempt to blame the Solyndra mess on the previous administration underscores how opportunistic and selective they've been when it comes to crediting Bush. Note that while the effort to take out Osama bin Laden began under the Bush administration, that point was not mentioned when the president took credit for it, even though it was a Bush priority and major efforts were directed at the effort.

With Solyndra, however, it's being associated with Bush even though all they did was have an ineffectual bureaucracy that accepted proposals from anyone who submitted them"

Who is surprised, the UAW has made a career about picketing.

If I were in the area, I'd go just to show my support to the dealer. Does the UAW really think this helps their cause?

Sounds like a publicity stunt to me.

The Solyndra debacle was labeled,

"...a corrupt gov't that promotes crony capitalism (Solyndra, etc.)"


If The Bush administration had a hand in it doesn't the same hold true for the Republicans AND Democrats??

Why is it then labeled a Democratic issue to the exclusion of ALL others??

Spin doctors unite!!!

And BS, there IS a THIRD party you know!! Gosh, the horror!


And here I am feeding your brain more grey matter to digest)

Last time I checked this was an automotive platform not a political one!!

Damn those union folks just who the hell do they think they are? Picketing at dealerships?

They are responsible for bankrupting GM, Chrysler, creating economic turmoil, the housing crisis, the bank bail outs, high unemployment etc. Besides, we all know they are overpaid and lazy to begin with. Any way, it's only a matter of time, since eventually ALL unions in America will soon be outlawed.

You just know that once these unions are gone, everything will be right with the world and we can have a world class "free" market model that will be idolized by every nation around the globe, every nation that is, except for Communist Red China, where most of our factories are now located.
