I am not going to go on about defending labor unions because that would be
a 
stance that is too easy to shoot down.

But I do beg to differ with you in regards to your statement that Ford had

no choice but to build their new car outside of America.  Ford did have a 
choice.

Ford chose to **** over Americans.

I hope Ford sells a bunch of those ****boxes in Mexico because that is
where 
they belong.
