I thought I was being direct and responding to most of the issues being presented. Never did I think I had substituted or distorted the arguments to make them easier to question.

Democrats vote for a Democrat governor (the POS Granholm) and thus keep Michigan blue.

It was about keeping votes in Michigan, specifically the Southeast section of Michigan. Same with the UAW, it doesnt matter two dead ducks about "profit" and "financial sense"...its all about votes. A politician wont cut a fart if it doesnt gain them votes or money.
It was about moving GM from Detroit MI to Warren MI, about 10 miles away
