Toward that end, Pavlansky is launching an unprecedented employee-awareness campaign that will be anchored by the bulletin-board display of a list of "pro-manufacturing" congressional and presidential candidates on one side, and "anti-manufacturing" on the other.

Manufacturers pulling workers into political fray

Dis I excerpt this correctly? hmmm

Ping. I thought this might interest you as it ties into your theory of a lost job turning into a probable dem vote.

[WFTR]

Yes, you linked the article correctly.

Willie,

I saw this one and thought of you.

I don't think the article has a slant towards either party. It portrays candidates of both parties trying to play into people's fears of job losses but not really giving ideas or visions for improving the situation. The article mentions employers identifying candidates who are likely to help keep jobs in North Carolina, but it doesn't state which party is likely to produce those candidates.

The jobs issue shouldn't be such a strong issue for Democrats. One of the big factors in jobs going overseas is the over-regulation of American business. The Democrats are the driving force for that over-regulation and subsequent job losses. Another big factor in loss of jobs is lawsuit abuse, and the Democrats are typically on the side of the trial lawyers. If we could reduce regulations and lawsuits, more businesses would want to keep manufacturing in the United States. The Republicans need to make this case and show that a lost job should lead to a vote for true conservative candidates.

I agree but even so, it is hard to compete with people who make a dollar a day (manufacturing) or 15,000 a year (tech).

People will stick with what they know and think of Republicans of the party of the rich and the democrats as the party of the working man.

[Willie Green]

The only difference between Democrat Erskine Bowles and Republican Elizabeth Dole on manufacturing-trade issues in the 2002 campaign, Prysby said, was that Bowles professed to wake up thinking about jobs first thing in the morning, while Dole said it kept her up at night.

Time to clean house and elect some true America First! representatives.
The present gaggle of political morons is absolutely pathetic.

[riri]

Was clinton the most incompetant central planner in history or did he have malicous anti-American intent?

My guess is a mixture of both but heavy emphasis on the second.

If I understand CFR correctly this would be illegal as of August 4, 2004. He could state issues but not candidates.

[lelio]

If I understand CFR correctly this would be illegal as of August 4, 2004.

I refer to the CFR as the "Incumbant Protection Act" -- odd that the Republicans passed this when they were in control of the presidency and congress.
