I’ve never bought a foreign branded vehicle, but now I will NEVER buy a UAW manufactured vehicle...the limp wristed liberals that have been buying foreign for years need to step up and purchase UAW vehicles.

The UAW may be able to muscle the government into giving them a car company or two, but they won’t be able to muscle the public into buying their product. The only question is how long will it take them to realize that.

I’ve bought GM all my life - and the Chevy I bought in 2006 will be the last GM car I ever get.

One thing the administration ignored is that GM and Chrysler make most of their profits by selling trucks and SUVs to Republicans and independents, who are exactly the kind of people who are greatly annoyed by the super sweet deal given to the UAW in these bankruptcies. Liberals tend to buy foreign brands and buy more cars than trucks and SUVs. So the administration alienated GM & Chrysler’s most important customer group with the way they handled these bankruptcies. That was a major miscalculation by the White House and its manufacturing “czars”. The UAW should have taken some kind of a haircut to show that everyone was willing to sacrifice to keep GM and Chrysler in business, for reasons of fairness and to not annoy their most important group of customers.
