After aid bill fails, the North fights back

Edited on Sat Dec-13-08 09:05 AM by sufrommich

From the Detroit Free Press:

My favorite quote:
""I don't think I'll ever vote Republican again," said Peake, a Ford shareholder who has watched the value of his holdings plummet."

4. I agree. I think there is a growing groundswell of outrage

happening and it will begin in Michigan. The republicans may have exposed their true priorities more than they ever meant to. I hope it bites them in the ass permanently.
