New Deal or Raw Deal is an excellent book...FDR did much of the same during his ‘progressive’ tenure as President.

And the map itself underscores why we NEED to keep the electoral college. Those few populist areas overwhelmed the votes of the rest of the nation. That and the RINOS like Collin (trust me I am still a republican) Powell ( course I voted for Obama)

Let's see - The Revolution?

For every Freeper on this thread who is plotting revolution, there is as least an equal number who will oppose you. (Half the adult population don't pay taxes.) The best case situation is that the mid-term elections will remove the Dim Dem majorities in Congress - but over half the voting population is currently being bribed with the other half's money, so that will be a stretch. We should learn from events in the Clinton presidency and see if we can duplicate them now.

Can you even imagine if this were a Republican doing this to DNC donors, how helpful the press would be in parsing the files and making those connections?

Star, check your private response, I can help with the Excel

I pointed out his stickers as I went by.

And which finger did you use to point it out?

Notice all of the Texas and Florida closings.

I took a look and it appears that Illinois, Michigan and Pennsylvania are losing the most dealers.

I'm thinking this may be a wild goose chase.

Of course politics is the main thread in closing these dealerships. The Red States dealerships don’t contribute to the RATS coffers via campaign contributions. Big reason to shut down the money supply. This is WAR. It’s like the first thing the military does is cut the supply line. The RATS are cutting off the money supply.

This is very ugly. It would appear that all levels of decency and fair play have been obliterated by the B.O. administration.

"No facts please, we're Democrats."

Sen. Bunning asked Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner about Administration influence in deciding which car dealers lost their business.

Secretary Geithner stumbled a bit.

Well, what if interoffice communications surface showing that indeed the Administration did pick the victims. Will that prove Administration shenanigans?

Not to worry. I have the solution to this.

During the savings and loan scandal hearings Clinton Treasury official Josh Steiner brushed aside incriminating statements in his diary by simply testifying that he "lied to his diary." "No problem! Thank you, Mr. Steiner. Next witness."

Secretary Geithner, just say that you and your staff lied to the interoffice memos!

Just trying to help. Don't have to thank me.

It’s just going from bad to worse. Where in the hell are the republican congresscritters and senators? Our country is being destroyed every single day and they are nowhere to be seen or heard. It should not matter whether they can realistically stop anything or not...they should be out in front everyday shouting from the rooftops!

I am getting fed up with the lot of them.
