Are Conk Chrysler dealerships targeted for closure..

Post by SeattleGriz »

This could be a big story.

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opini ... 61447.html
Evidence appears to be mounting that the Obama administration has systematically targeted for closing Chrysler dealers who contributed to Repubicans. What started earlier this week as mainly a rumbling on the Right side of the Blogosphere has gathered some steam today with revelations that among the dealers being shut down are a GOP congressman and closing of competitors to a dealership chain partly owned by former Clinton White House chief of staff Mack McLarty.

I heard about this yesterday on Cavuto. A guest brought it up but couldn't provide the evidence. I'd like to know if it's true, though. If so, somebody's got some 'splainin' to do.

The counter reply has been that 85% of the dealers are Republicans, so it only makes sense.

I am not sure on this one either, but it will be interesting if Chicago Thug politics was involved.

It would be interesting to cross-reference political donations to party/dealerships closed/open.

If 85% of dealership owners are Republican, then this is a non-story.

I think it is still a little early on this one, but apparently there are some dealerships that were heavy Republican donors that are being closed even when they were profitable. There are also others that were donors to Democrats, but not Obama, that are being closed as well.

Is that 85% of all dealership owners? Regardless of company?

Is 85% not high enough? :roll:

I think what Jon is saying is that if a large majority of all dealers are republicans, then a large majority of those closed will be republican, too. I understand what he's saying, and that could skew the results. Either way, there needs to be some serious investigating on this, either to clear the air or find a stinky rat.

Simple math will tell us that if an organism is 85% of one type and 15% of another type that will = 100%

if the rules of percentages are then played out: 85% of the closures should fall within the the majority type - which consists of 85% of the whole...

are we all on the same page here..?

We are, except for the fact that you are assuming all 100% are equally profitable, or in some way equally deserving of being shut down.

BTW I looked through the pages he cites and of the 130 or so dealerships in his list at a quick glance around 30 were Democratic donors. Not so sure this is a story at all except in the minds of conk bloogers who have't been laid since the Marque de Sade was in town.

Good thoughts, Pols. This is a non-story.

Exactly why I worded as such. Could easily just be a numbers game and nothing else. I learned my lesson with the Michelle Obama, "whitey" tape that never surfaced.

Exactly. Shutting down a profitable dealership is about as smart as running up a huge deficit during a recession...oh wait, now it all makes sense.
