Politics Nothing goes with politics quite like crying and complaining, and we're a perfect example of that.

Default Very telling, UAW's Republican Donor List

UAW's only GOP Senate donation last cycle: Arlen Specter

President Obama wants to make the United Auto Workers union the 55 percent owner of Chrysler. In that light, it's worth looking at the UAW's political activity.
As usual, in the 2008 election cycle the United Auto Workers' PAC gave 99% of its campaign contributions to Democrats. As I mention in my K Street column today, the PAC funded 42 Senate candidates, 41 of them Democrats. The other? Arlen Specter.
From the Center for Responsive Politics' website OpenSecrets.org, here's some data on the UAW's PAC activity in 2008:
* The PAC spent $ 13.1 million, making it the #14 PAC in the country, and placing it ahead of all business PACs except for the National Association of Realtors
* $4.9 million in reported independent expenditures, all of it dedicated to helping elect Barack Obama
* More than $2 million in direct contributions to candidates, with 99% of it going to Democrats

Default RE: Very telling, UAW's Republican Donor List

Of course there is nothing wrong w/ that! Unions do what they want when they want and have always been afforded the benefit (who cares of the doubt). As we allknow they stand for the common man and are against big business and so intrenched in MI that the whole state collapese w/out them. Can you say Socialist Party? Of course we will bail it out and give them ownership, they freaking fund the democrat party! How you union boys feel bout' dat?
