To all Republicans out there who supported the $700B bailout, the AIG bailouts, the Fannie & Freddie Bailouts, etc… you look like a hypocrite not supporting the auto bailout now. There is a lesson to be learned here. While the financial bailout may have had a more direct impact on our economy, the auto bailout likely has a more direct impact on America’s work force. If a bailout isn’t right now (it’s not), then it wasn’t right then (it wasn’t). ALWAYS VOTE YOUR PRINCIPLES.
Principles are there to guide your hand through the darkness when competing interests cloud the waters. Many forgot that when they heard the sky was falling and the only salvation was the $700B bailout. Hopefully by now you’ve learned your lesson.
Stop with the bailouts and reclaim the party’s soul. It might be a small gesture and might have political costs… but enough is enough already. Better to lose and be right, than win and be wrong. It’s not just your political career at stake, its our country.
