GOP contributors targeted in Chrysler shutdown.

UPDATE - The claim now is that since most of those shut down contributed to Repubs, then the majority of those shut down contributed to Repubs. (If we had some ham we would have some ham and eggs if we had some eggs.)

This was brought to my attention by the Dark Avenger and a host of other sources...

Maybe someone will take the list of all dealers and compare the shut down list to the total of all dealers, with their contributions... and then we will have something. Or maybe no one will, or maybe they have...



Why am I not surprised?

A tipster alerted me to an interesting assertion. A cursory review by that person showed that many of the Chrysler dealers on the closing list were heavy Republican donors.

To quickly review the situation, I took all dealer owners whose names appeared more than once in the list. And, of those who contributed to political campaigns, every single one had donated almost exclusively to GOP candidates. While this isn't an exhaustive review, it does have some ominous implications if it can be verified.

This is just standard Chicago politics. Who did you think you elected?
