Class warfare in the Senate

Last night, the House passed a bill to provide $14 billion in loans to bail out the Detroit automakers.

Now the Senate is going to tackle a nearly identical bill, and it won't be so easy there. The Republicans in the Senate are going to do everything in their power to fight it.

The Republicans wasted no time in bailing out the fat cat Wall Street banks. But now that tens of thousands of domestic auto industry jobs are on the line, it's a different story.

Gotta bail out the rich white collar bankers, but the blue collar auto workers are on their own.

We see how bad the economy is right now in this country. Imagine how much worse it will be if GM, Chrysler, and Ford lay off more workers along with the dealerships that sell the domestic cars.

These Republicans all claim to be Christian. But talk is cheap. After all, didn't Jesus stand up for the poor and the underprivileged, and denounce the moneychangers?

The hypocrisy on the right continues to astound me.
