Democrats in the hip pocket of the United Auto Workers Union
It has become obvious that the Democrat Party is in the hip pocket of the United Auto Workers Union.
President George W. Bush is padlocking that pocket shut, so the Dems couldn’t get out if they wanted to. Which they don’t.

Flying in the face of public opinion and his own party in the Congress, particularly in the Senate, where Republicans can make a difference, our President of Little Principle is writing The End to a most disappointing eight years in office.
