The next car (and truck) I buy will be a Ford, as long as they stay away from the Porkulas stimulus.

Ford isn't asking for a bailout? So what? Ford has employed Mooselimbs in droves for decades. Old Man Henry was a fierce anti-Semite. Dearborn is one giant sleeper cell.

The Ford CEO was interviewed by someone on FNC one night (Greta? I'm not sure). She tried to get him to answer questions on accepting bailout money (at this point, Ford was looking into taking the $$).
The CEO dodged and evaded her questions on whether there would be bonuses and golden parachutes for the top brass if they took the money and/or got the unions to take wage concessions.

Good to see Ford attempt to go it alone without gub'mint help!

They are trying to navigate through very tough economic times. I give this great corporation and its management team and workers credit.

Good for Ford for showing some backbone.

Ford will probably succeed and Chrysler and GM will fail - due to Ford saying ‘no’ and the others suckling at the poisonous teat of big government, central control, and bureaucratic toxicity.
