Well it looks like things will not be as bad as we thought.

But I suppose that is contingent on the republicans' efforts to shut down the domestic auto industry not being successful.

Which I really dont think they will be.

I suspect a lot of it is just grandstanding for the rightwing so-called base.

Those who can be fired up by playing to a simplistic, bumper sticker mentality.

Sherm,

I am a Republican. Just what am I doing to try to shut down the domestic automotive industry?

Shreman's first misconception is that Ford, Chrysler, and GM is this countries auto industry and that's just not the case. There are other companies including Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Toyota and others that manufacture cars and/or major parts throughout the United States at more then 50 plants employing thousands of Americans.
