Rachel gets to the heart of what drives the likes of Senators Kyl and Session (aka Foghorn Leghorn):
GOP’s Platform is Now to Reduce the Wages of American Workers
It appears to me that Senate Republicans are on an ideologically driven union-busting adventure here, that happens to have the prospect of increasing the market share of the foreign-owned companies who work in their states. American-owned companies and the American economy as a whole be darned — those foreign-owned companies that serve the individual states of these senators who are objecting to this bailout, they’re the ones who are getting served.
Why aren’t Democrats making them filibuster this — making them stand up and defend this, if this is really what they want the country to know they’re doing?
Just so. Sen Reid should force them to actively filibuster this. Make them stay on the floor and talk, I’m sure something incredibly stupid would be said.
