Chrysler, R.I.P.

FUN QUOTES FROM PALIN
I got all of these quotes off of google quotes
You really couldn't make up this kind of stuff up if you wanted to
This all part of the reason why so many important republicans have been saying she
is a joke

When asked about her foreign policy experience she said
"As Putin rears his head," she said, referring to Russian prime Minister Vladimir Putin, "and comes into the airspace of the United States of America, where do they go? It's Alaska. It's just right over the border."
TELLING THE TRUTH FOR A CHANGE SHE HAD THIS TO SAY ABOUT HER RUN FOR VP
"It's time that normal Joe Six-Pack American is finally represented in the position of vice-presidency"
WHEN ASKED TO NAME ONE SUPREME COURT DECISION AND NOT BEING ABLE TO SHE CAME UP WITH THIS ANSWER
"I'm in that sense a federalist, where I believe that states should have more say in the laws of their lands and individual areas"
when asked again to name one decision she responded
"Well, let's see. There's -- of course -- in the great history of America rulings there have been rulings"
When asked about being a redneck she said
"Someone called me a `redneck woman' once. You know what I said back? `Thank-you very much.'"
when asked what promises she might not be able to keep
"How long have I been at this, like five weeks? So there hasn't been a whole lot that I've promised, except to do what is right..."

Talking to dobson about prayer she said
"It is that intercession that is so needed and so greatly appreciated," Palin told Dobson. "And I can feel it too, Dr. Dobson. I can feel the power of prayer, and that strength that is provided through our prayer warriors across this nation."

When asked about being a environmentalist she originally said
"I'm not an Al Gore, doom-and-gloom environmentalist blaming the changes in our climate on human activity."
when asked again later if she thought people had a impact on global warming
"Show me where I have ever said that there's absolute proof that nothing that man has ever conducted or engaged in has had any effect or no effect on climate change,"
asked about voting she said
"I truly believe that the wisdom of the people will be rebuilt on [Election Day]. As they enter that voting booth, they will understand the stark contrast between the two tickets,"
when asked how mccain did at his first debate
"I just thought he was great, because the American people are angry, and John McCain is angry, too
when asked about tina feys imitation of her she said
"I watched it with the volume all the way down," Palin said. "I thought it was hilarious."

IS SHE KIDDING IS THIS WHOLE THING A JOKE
IS IT REALLY POSSIBLE SOMEONE COULD BE THIS CLUELESS
SOMEONE THAT THINKS THEY COULD RUN THE COUTRY NOW LESS
VOTE OBAMA BIDEN NOW AND SEND HER BACK TO ALASKA

WHY DOES EVERYTHING HAVE TO BE POLITICAL TO YOU PEOPLE? Damn. This isnt about partisan politics, its the loss of part of our American Identity, dont you see that? It wasn't democrats or republicans, it was greed plain and simple, just like everything else, and yet you chuckleheads want to turn this into a shouting match. We are losing our identity. You guys suck.

God get a grip.

what the hell is detroit gonna do? Michigan is already in a ton of trouble. Jesus all those poor people. God damn it, we lose an american namesake company, thousands of people loose their job and what the hell do we have to show for it??? What, seriously I am asking? Damn.

Just an idea... but why cant we have legislation that exempts commuter class vehicles from liability suits?

When was the last time someone sued a motorcycle mfr. and won?

Its part of the risk and privilege to driving/riding and the owner must assume that...

we need to re-align and STANDARDIZE our safety requirements with the rest of the world so that we build cars that 3rd world countries can afford (if we're not careful, we'll be at the top of the list)

As this is going on, Bush continues his insane scheme to deregulate all things that need regulating. This theft of the American taxpayer would have been complete if Bush was able to privatize our S.S. accounts. So after we are forced by our government against our will to bail out Detroit, who will be next? Enron was simply a drop in the bucket of money stolen by Bush's cronies. Milton Friedman claims ignorance, so should we trust anything he's ever said? We don't even realize that our polarized nation is at war with itself. If the American people have become so afraid of God and Government then Bush has been a complete success in the eyes and minds of his fascist friends.

reply to jumpingnots comment. You have hit the nail right on the head. I'm glad that someone actually understands what is wrong with this country.. It's a shame we can't elect you as president. You make more sense then either candidate.

Have spent now half an hour to find out what went wrong with the US automakers. Both, the article and the comments leave me in the dark. Well, if people would know the problems, obviously they would have prevented it. Can somebody give me a hint where to get some good analysis?

Yeah what I love is that we never hear anything about Daimler. Those bastards ran the company into the ground. Gosh Chrysler was the best. When it came to design, nothing looked as good as a Chrysler. Then along comes Daimler the great. Boy all they did was wreck the company. They take a great American company and just run it in the ground. Leaving us with cars like the Avenger and Sebring. Sheesh this sucks!

Imagine what Auburn Hills will look like....Bloomfield Hills for sale....cheap.

Giving government money to Chrysler again reminds one of those who had their bodies frozen in hopes of being thawed out years later into better times. After a few too many failures, no one wanted to do that any more and no one cared much for the remains but the vultures. Let's just bury Chrysler this time. We've gotten the message.

wow, talk about depressing and bringing home how bad this crisis is. To lose an icon and to know that there will be not be any new dodges or chryslers on the road anymore is sad...

Didn't we pay for this bailout once already?

Chrysler couldn't figure out what the Japanese could, even though there were so many clues. They should go.

This is sad, but 2 wrongs do not make a right. To borrow money to get ALREADY borrowed money makes about as much sense as 80/20 piggy back home loans did! I own a GM car, have owned many GM cars and a one Chrysler so I am not knocking the product. GM is making a better then average product and chrysler is too. The problem is they are both way to fat and way to slow. They are both so far behind the competition as is Ford. If Chrysler is done it needs to be done, sold in peices. If GM needs money then why not skip trying to get it via borrowed Chrysler money and just lobby for the money to save themselves. Trim the Fat and unproductive brands, Speed up the products that could help a turn around like the Chevy VOLT. Just plain focus. Ahhh I feel better now. :)

Two words for the failure: Bob Nardelli
