For the fools from the Rust Belt that continue to support GOP Senators for re-election

That goes triple for my home state of Kentucky.

MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olberman has uncovered an internal GOP Caucus memo outlining the "talking points" relating to the GOP Senators' refusal to consider the auto bailout bill. Please note the number one reason:

Countdown has obtained a memo entitled "Action Alert - Auto Bailout," and sent Wednesday at 9:12am, to Senate Republicans. The names of the sender(s) and recipient(s) have been redacted in the copy Countdown obtained. The Los Angeles Times reported that it was circulated among Senate Republicans. The brief memo outlines internal political strategy on the bailout, including the view that defeating the bailout represents a "first shot against organized labor." Senate Republicans blocked passage of the bailout late Thursday night, over its insistence on an immediate union pay cut.

Subject: Action Alert -- Auto Bailout

Today at noon, Senators Ensign, Shelby, Coburn and DeMint will hold a press conference in the Senate Radio/TV Gallery. They would appreciate our support through messaging and attending the press conference, if possible. The message they want us to deliver is:

1. This is the democrats first opportunity to payoff organized labor after the election. This is a precursor to card check and other items. Republicans should stand firm and take their first shot against organized labor, instead of taking their first blow from it.

2. This rush to judgment is the same thing that happened with the TARP. Members did not have an opportunity to read or digest the legislation and therefore could not understand the consequences of it. We should not rush to pass this because Detroit says the sky is falling.

The sooner you can have press releases and documents like this in the hands of members and the press, the better. Please contact me if you need additional information. Again, the hardest thing for the democrats to do is get 60 votes. If we can hold the Republicans, we can beat this.

Now, how does that make you folks who work in the auto industry, steel industry, tire manufacturing industry, plastics, etc., feel about those "Grand Old" Senators who may just have cost you your jobs, health insurance, and retirement? You want to know how I feel? You people have gotten what you deserve. These guys are self-serving scum who are only looking to obstruct any plan the Democrats put forward to try to hold on to some thread of their former power. GET RID OF THEM ALL NEXT CHANCE YOU GET!!! IDIOTS!
