George Bush and the Republican Senate just wiped out the Democrats once again in a legislation fight. Think about what happen in this auto bailout plan. First the plan was to provide them with piece of them banking bailout (something both Bush and the automakers wanted), then it became something much more. The liberals drooled on each other with the possibility of government owned auto industry. Barney Frank and the UAW were having dreams of a union owned business, filling their utopian fantasy.  

But, then something happened. The bill grew so to insult the capitalistic values of even the average American. There was talk of an auto czar, the government owning 20 percent of the industries, environmental standards and on and on and on. Just as it seemed the move would be made and Atlas would in fact shrug, the white knights, the Republican Senators swooped in, slain the dragon, saving capitalism as the plan was dead in an instant. 

Think this out. Bush’s people quickly realized the feeding frenzy ongoing in D.C., so they tossed in more chum before going for the kill. The idea was to make the bill so outrageous that it would never pass, they knew it and that was their goal. Yes, Bush was battered, but so what he is gone in a month, more importantly the Republicans who will remain behind to fight the battle, look like heroes to their conservative base. They prevented the most blatant socialistic move in perhaps this nation’s history. On the flip side, Bush will simply hand out a portion of the already passed banking bill, the automakers will get their piece of the pie (with few or no government regulations, Bush will not be tagged with one more failure and the Republicans Senators can pound their drums of victory…Yes, Dems you were roped-a-doped one last time by the guy you call the worse President in the history of this nation.
