You're too much Buschman. Doesn't look like these states are solidly Bush to me...
I'm "too much" because I cite a reputable polling organization that says Bush has a wide margin in the "red states"? And your response is that it "doesn't look like" that to you? Try citing a poll that contradicts Zogby, Dizzie, or are you allergic to factual evidence?
due to the offshoring I told you about two years ago which you dismissed...
I "dismissed" it? Oh? No, Diz, I've said 1) that you've provided no empirical evidence that it is the HUMONGOUS economic problem you make it out to be; 2) that it is not a phenomenon of the Bush administration i) "offshoring" of tech work has been going on for at least five years now (it boomed when you and your co-workers were demanding absurd salaries, truckloads of options and catered lunches all over Silly Valley) and ii) it is no different for technology workers and others currently suffering from "offshoring" than for auto workers of the '70s and '80s, textile workers of the same period, and workers in any number of other industries or functions where foreign competition has grown; and 3) that you have yet to suggest a workable solution to this supposedly devastating development. In short, you are bitching about an economic phenomenon that is nothing new and is simply an economic fact of life for any country that wants to continue to enjoy the benefits of relatively free trade (i.e. the high standard of living free trade makes possible).
I'm sure you are equally outraged over cheap, high-quality TVs, computers, cars, fresh fruits and vegetables, clothing and all the other things you enjoy every day that come from other nations, but were once dominated by American producers and their workers.
And then we have the social security ... problem with Bush fiscal mismanagement ...
Oh, Bush has now "fiscally mismanaged" social security? This could be a hoot - please explain that one, Diz. |
