Voinovich Supports Socializing the Auto Industry

Reports had been coming in all day long yesterday. Check them out here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here.

I especially want to highlight this one because the difference between Republican Leader, my Congressman and a Great American -- John Boehner -- and the Perennial Back-Bencher Senior Senator -- George Voinovich -- can clearly be illustrated in the first two paragraphs of the piece:

House Republican Leader John A. Boehner on Thursday blasted the Democrats' plan to advance legislation next week earmarking $25 billion from Treasury's financial rescue package for struggling U.S. automakers.

Sen. George Voinovich, a Republican from Boehner's home state of Ohio, breathed life into the plan on Thursday by agreeing, in principle, to an infusion of federal funds for Detroit's Big Three auto manufacturers.

Boehner = "blasting the plan"

Voinovich = "breathing life in to the plan"

It doesn't get any clearer than that, my friends...

YOU. DO. NOT. INTIMIDATE. GEORGE. VOINOVICH! UPDATE: Maggie Thurber has a real good idea... Flood him...it worked for shamnesty, it will work for this too. Let him know how you feel about bailouts in general and the Auto Bailout in particular. Be gentle, though, we wouldn't want him to cry...
