Right Wing Logic, On the March Again

Here's a wonderful specimen of the kind of rational thought that we have come to expect from the consevative world:

"RED ALERT: Did Anti-Obama campaign contributions dictate which Chrysler dealers were shuttered?

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. "

As a lover of conspiracies himself, Green Eagle is always appreciative when he hears one as far-fetched as this one. However, it occurs to him that there is a far simpler explanation for this disturbing correlation. How about the idea that the people who were intellectually challenged enough to have invested their life savings in attempting to sell Chryslers would be the very same people who continued to finance the Republican party, long after it became obvious that it was driving us into economic oblivion (probably in a Chrysler.) There, doesn't that make more sense?

I believe that the dealerships that were closed were the ones that were selling the fewest cars.

That would mean more from rural areas, Republican strongholds such as Montana, North Dakota and places like that as opposed to major metropolitan areas.

Some of these dealers had sales that were so low, a normal dealership would sell in 1 month what they would sell in a year.

Thanks for the actual fact, Anonymous.
However, I must say that I don't quite see what facts have to do with Republican explanations for anything.
