Talking points that make absolutely no sense..

Regurgitate what the Righ Wing "thought police" want you to..

Just like Romney repeated the lie over and over again about Jeep moving to China, lets see is that grabs him in the butt.. a lot of autoworkers are pissed about that.

The Patriots have been overachievers the past two years. It doesn't have the talent to compensate for injuries, and it wins so much because it puts in 99% effort in the regular season and plays with terrific schemes to mask its deficiencies.

But in the playoffs a good team at 99% will not beat emotional, talented teams that play at 100%. It's what happened against the Giants in 2011 and the Ravens in 2012.

But you were wrong about UAW workers in your earlier post, weren't you Darryl?

Marketing, designers/engineers, planning, finance, distrubtion, etc. are not union workers.

When the UAW goes on strike, none of the "corporate" employees honor that strike. They're all salaried employees and non-union. In fact, UAW member only ASSEMBLE the cars.

Cars don't have poor quality because they are poorly assembled. Recalls don't involved having someone screwing in something that wasn't.

Poor quality stems from design decisions and material choice.

When's the last time your car broke down because the factory assembled your car wrong?!

There's very little about a car that can be 'poorly assembled' and not show it after a few thousand miles at most
