Watch out though, because Fox is going to come back with a "why does GM hate America?" piece.

Jesus, Matt, was this necessary? I come here for cars, not for barely-related, crudely-biased political commentary. #gm

If you think that Republicans truly hate American Automakers, thats your opinion. Perhaps you've been drinking a little too much Pelosi-ade.
But to post something like this, here, on Jalopnik, where politics is generally a no-go zone (besides making fun of politicians for their numerous stupid decisions) is simply pointless.

Their are places that I go for political discussion and car sites and magazines are not one of those places. The fact that Motor Trend went completely in the tank for Obama and the green movement last year is what put the final nail in my subscription to that magazine. #gm

Sorry to be harsh. One of the best things about Jalopnik is that it's fearless in writing about automotive issues. I certainly wouldn't want to impose arbitrary restrictions on its content, but my point is to ask whether this kind of quote-and-eye-roll piece belongs here. There might be better fora for this. #gm

Guess what, if Toyota or VW came to them for a bailout, they'd still say no. I'm not sure what your agenda is with this insanely biased article, but it has little to no use on this website. Don't make this a political blog.
No company, no matter who ones them, DESiERVES a bailout. Maybe if the US were rolling around in Scrooge McDuck size piles of money we could loan away. But the US does not. The companies in question have not shown a single viable plan to make them look decent as a company worth investing in and giving a loan to. If GM or Chrysler need a loan, they need to go the bank. That's the AMERICAN way.
Which countries polices and constitution are you wanting them to follow. #gm

Toyota and VW DID come to these Republican Senators asking for a bailout. Their bailout just came in the form of "right to work" laws and tax exemptions and friendly land deals with quasi-governmental bodies. #gm

Personally I disagree with the idea of "too big to fail". Every company needs the threat of failure to be competitive. There is no incentive to change a failing business model if you can rely on a bailout.
I don't have high hopes for GM. I think they should've been allowed to go bankrupt and be restructured. However boycotting them now is ridiculous and downright unAmerican! #gm
