Big Sky Cairn

As nakedly partisan hits go, this one is pretty amazing.  It seems that Obama got UAW Boss Ron Gettelfinger to attack McCain for buying foreign cars:

“The last thing we need is a presidential candidate who undermines autoworkers, and these days it seems that John McCain is doing just exactly that,” he said. “When he’s in the Midwest, he tells voters he supports the industry, when he is in other states he brags about buying a foreign car, as he did with the Prius.” (It is not clear if McCain or his daughter bought the Prius)

Of course the article talks about how McCain owns 13 cars.  2 of them are foreign.

This partisan hack is pissed at McCain because he only owns 11 American cars?  Really?

No wonder the American auto industry is in trouble.  How frustrating has it got to be for an auto exec - trying to keep his company profitable to pay the workers’ salaries amidst increasing competitive pressures from overseas - to sit across the table from a moron who’s economic compass tells him that a guy who bought 11 American cars and 2 foreign cars is undermining the American autoworker…

Not to mention the dig at Prius owners (who, are roughly 999 to 1 Democrats by my informal count).  These are the clowns that want to run the U.S. Economy?

“These are the clowns that want to run the U.S. Economy?”

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Meet the new clowns
Meet the new clowns
Same as the old clowns
Same as the old clowns

(My apologies to the Who.)

Why did he lie about only buying American made cars? Is it just that he is so in the habit of lying at this point that he just does it automatically?

He said that he’d bought American cars his entire life, not that he only bought American cars. Why do liberals get so stupid - and poor at English - when they are trying to be offended for partisan reasons?

Wow - here’s something unusual - a righty wants to lecture us on “Econ 101″. That don’t happen very often. We liberals just don’t get econ the way they do. If we were to gain political power, bad things might happen - the private sector might collapse.

Yessir … Econ 101, duh dum duh dum … taught by a conservative. Graduate course it must me. Must be high level taught by an egghead.
