An Open letter to President Bush (End run vs. Outsourcing)

Me | Me

[Havoc]

My rant - flame away. I've already been beaten into reconsidering my registration by some of you. I ain't a democrat, never have been and never will be; but, I'm wondering now why I'm republican, cause some of you make me ashamed of the word.

Hang tough my friend ... I've been lambasted by the free traitors out here too.

The government forcing someone to hire an american worker, at the expense of their company, is tyranny. You may be a Republican but you certainly are not conservative. Good luck finding new employment.

[Southack]

You're upset at losing an EDS job?! Good Lord, man...EDS pays meager famine-wages and employs little more than slaves for your first ten years there (presuming that you made the cuts to stay on).

Relax. Life can only get better after leaving EDS. Even a $7.50 per hour Wal-Mart job will look better.

So switch parties already. Go your way.

If you're unhappy with our commitment to free trade, throw in your lot with John Kerry et al. That's the beauty of Democracy and all that. But blaming anyone but yourself for what is your own decision belies the substance of your own position.

A little quote for you ...

Firstly, it seems to me that the GOP, over the course of the 20th century, allowed itself to be taken over by people who could only be described as extreme money mongers with anarchistic political and geopolitical tendencies

[clamper1797]

PING !!!!!!

[Chi-townChief]

Good luck in the job hunt. But I doubt you'll get any help from Ketchup Boy or Nader.

The government is not resposible for your success or failure. You're having a tough time now but if you suck it up and do soething new you will find success on your own. Global competion is here to stay, so get competitive and enjoy the fruits of your labors. Or better yet start your own business.
I'll bet your attitude would change. Best of luck to you.

It seems today that I have to be a Mexican to get a fair shake in America. There are some 8 million of them here illegally as a tax on our system and working here taking jobs that Americans can do; but, which apparently, nobody wants to offer a fair wage for as long as they can get slave labor off the books.

There is so much neocon spin it's actually speeding up the rotation of the earth.

Now the Republican Governor of Florida has come out in support of millions of illegal aliens, and now wants to offer these criminals legitimate drivers licenses. The neo-cons are basically declaring war on the middle class.

What a winning combination!! Allow and pander to literally millions of illegal aliens that continue to flood our country, while outsourcing our jobs.

You betcha, are real winning combination !

Free trade?! Have you seen the trade deficit lately? Doesn't look so free to me.

[USNBandit]

Hey, didn't EDS lose $1.6 Billion last year on the Navy-Marine Corps Intranet? You would think that a company could make money on the biggest IT contract in history....unless they overdid an underbid.

[gonewt]

I agree with you entirely.

Bank of America (to name one) claims it has to "cut costs" by firing thousands of Americans, outsourcing those jobs to India, and yet paid its CEO over $20 million in 2002.

At some point, we've got to stop kneeling before the altar of the free market & take a good look at what's happening around us.

[clamper1797]

People who care more for money than their country or their fellow countrymen. People who would sell charter jets filled with dynamite to terrorists

[wesdale]

Yeah, perhaps if I had read all of this whine I would have known that the author is not republican. But what's the point, really?

Bush stole my job.... garbage.

I sincerely do hope he finds another job, but don't expect someone to hire him just because he lives in America.

[brbethke]

No offense, but now that you've got this off your chest, what exactly do you want President Bush to do about it?

P.S. President Clinton was the one who signed NAFTA.

[awakened]

My hat is off to you for a well-written, honest, and sincere letter. Yes, we all love Bush... and I don't believe there's one of us who can blame him for the attacks of 9/11 or the economic (and other) fallout from them. But he is not perfect -- and it should be alright to say that even on Free Republic. All I can say is that you have been an unfortunate victim of bureacracy and greed, but to the positive side I would suspect that someone with your forthrightness and intelligence will soon find an equal or better position. At least that will be my prayer and my hope for you. If President Bush needs to be seen as "perfect" as criteria for being a member of Free Republic, then I think we're all in trouble. He's a good, good man in one of the most difficult situations in history. He needs prayer and loyalty -- not idolatry.
