Senate Kills Auto Bailout Deal

Under the threat of a Republican filibuster and the ire of the American public, the Democrat-controlled Senate late Thursday night killed the auto bailout deal, effectively ending any federal help for the Big 3 automakers during this session of Congress.

GOP Senators Jim DeMint of South Carolina, Richard Shelby of Alabama, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, and a few others listened to their constituents and threatened to effectively shut down debate on the bailout bill with a filibuster.

A filibuster wasn't necessary, however, as the bill failed overwhelmingly.

Michelle Malkin has the complete, late-breaking update on the vote.

Democrats Want Gov't Ownership of Auto Industry

The Feds have already seized partial ownership of banks. Now they want the auto industry as well.

Tell me, is there ANY business in America that is safe from an all-powerful government run amok?

There is a term for the practice of government entering into collaborative partnerships with business as a part owner. It is called fascism, and the best example of it was Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler.
