DEALERGATE. Chicago-Style Politics Gone Wild?
Let’s suppose for a moment that everything alleged here is false. That the political contribution records shown are wrong. Maybe it is all just a coincidence.
The fact that Team Obama is allowed to decide which privately owned business to destroy next is alarming.
Dealers on the closing list donated millions to Republicans, $200 for Obama
The initial pass at the list of shuttered dealers showed they had donated, in the aggregate, millions to Republican candidates and PACs and a total of $200 to Barack Obama.
In fact, I have thus far found only a single Obama donor $200 from Jeffrey Hunter of Waco, Texas on the closing list.
Another review of all 789 closing dealerships, by WND, found $450,000 donated to GOP presidential candidates; $7,970 to Sen. Hillary Clinton; $2,200 to John Edwards and $450 to Barack Obama.
Now, and this is important, Chrysler claimed that its formula for determining whether a dealership should close or not included “sales volume, customer service scores, local market share and average household income in the immediate area.”
via Dealergate: Stats demonstrate that Chrysler Dealers likely shuttered on a partisan basis.
I can’t wait to watch the Obama Machine spin there way out of this one.

Political favoritism and vote buying is nothing new. But citizens need to rise up against it. Perhaps this will motivate conservatives to fight back rather than look to negotiate a peaceful co-existence with a political philosophy that is sure to ruin the country.
Obama certainly can’t run an organization that must deliver value to its customers. He can only extort favors and taxes. (for a top ten list of some more ‘interesting’ tax proposals, you an visit: http://firstconservative.com/blog/political-humor/political-humor-creative-taxation )
Citizens, like the dealers who have been put out of business by this President, must understand that government intrusion is a reality unless they resist.
