Shortly after the surveillance was revealed, Rep. John Conyers, the panel's ranking Democrat, said he feared "that we are on the verge of becoming a surveillance state."

"Over the past decade - under the leadership of four chairman with diverse political views - the members of this committee have vigorously debated the proper balance between our safety and our constitutional right to privacy," Conyers said in remarks prepared for Wednesday's hearing. "We never - at any point during this debate - approved the type of unchecked, sweeping surveillance of United States citizens employed by our government in the name of fighting the war on terrorism."

Because, Comrade Johnny always reads EVERY word...

Romney Republicans needed

I agree with Republican consultant Dennis Lennox that the Republican Party needs to purge its extremist elements to restore a much needed two-party system and help solve our country's problems ("Bring GOP back to mainstream," Nov. 8). But the reality is that such a purge might not leave many members to build from. Republicans have been purging reasonable moderates from their ranks since 1980. Does anyone see a Bill Milliken or George Romney in the Michigan Republican Party?

Ya, that's the ticket.  All Hail the Squishy Democrat-lite!  Yes, Dennis, push the father of the EPA, or the father of the State Income Tax.  Pray tell, Mr. "Republican consultant," exactly how many Democrats do you wish to elect with every establishment-gamed safe Moderate that's run up the flagpole to only receive the one-fingered salute?  Winning stratagem, kid.  And another thing, exactly how stupid do you think We the People are with those on the alleged Right now using The Left's terminology?  Extremist = TEA movement.  Concerned folks aren't stupid enough to not notice this.  

Good Lord!  Milliken, and Romney, are the Liberal Rockefeller Extremists of the GOP.  That's why the Republicans lose to Democrats.  Bill Milliken, was such an abject failure as governor that Jim Blanchard, actually appealed to voters as a good idea.  George Romney, instead of trimming waste from the state budget, he pushed the State Income Tax through, and the expansion of Lansing government has never stopped.  Then, George went on to be a national tool of The Left with mocking then Gov. Reagan, and aiding with the defeat of Barry Goldwater, of which, was always the goal of the Rockefeller Family.

According to the piece, "To counter the severe slump in European sales, (Fiat CEO Sergio) Marchionne is considering building Chrysler models in Italy, including Jeeps, for export to North America. The Italian government is evaluating tax rebates on export goods to help Fiat. Marchionne may announce details of his plan as soon as Oct. 30, the people said."

So, let's be real clear here, we are talking about vehicles that will be built in Italy and exported to America. The evidence is clear that Fiat is looking at ways to move production of vehicles from the US to elsewhere, whether it be China or Italy, costing American jobs. This is becoming indisputable, despite outcries from certain parties to the contrary.

Rest

But, we're stuck on stupid in Michigan.  As I wrote before .. Bob King, won't have so much as a say about any of this in the nation-states ongoing struggle to not run out of other peoples money while funding their global Socialist Utopias.

How `bout you sir!

You look like a lucky soul!

Why not give it a try?

As the Fiat and Chrysler automakers go global, so do their unions.

Fiat and Chrysler unions worldwide this week agreed to join in a global network aimed at a constant flow of information and defining a common strategy.

"The network is a signal to Fiat that the unions are united," Enzo Masini, auto coordinator at the FIOM union, said in a statement. "A global company requires a global union."

Their first common act will be a letter to Fiat and Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne asking for recognition.

Bob King, you better dust them prized knee pads of yours off.  Socialist Italy just declared you their new fluffer.
