Don't miss the point. Democrats are making outsourcing into a political issue to lacerate Bush. We have to point out that Kerry and Dims are outsourcers and that Heinz made hundreds of millions outsourcing jobs. Democrats want to make the issue one of outsourcing's rightness or wrongness. We're saying....hold on, don't pick on Bush for what you're doing.

Besides, if Heinz sends their foreign made pickles back to the US, then yes, we're dealing with apples vs. apples...But if they don't there's no argument...

While it's all well and good to point out that Kerry is on the wrong side of trade issues (and tax, and regulatory, as well) it's not going to do GWB much good.
Unless AlQuaeda makes the utterly stupid move of dropping a terror incident into the US within 40 days of the election, this will be a tough mountain for GWB to climb.
History demonstrates conclusively that Americans vote their pocketbooks if there is not a national security crisis--and the more people I talk to, the worse the situation is re: pocketbooks, at least here in the Industrial Midwest (and it's spreading to the South, BTW.)
Further, maintenance of a large armed presence in Iraq is becoming more and more difficult to justify; even conservatives (not paleo-nuts, just conservatives) of my acqaintance are beginning to mumble, quietly, that we've done the job, let's get the hell out of there.
Thus, GWB's total disregard for lawless immigration, pocketbook issues, and reckless spending by Congress now combines with less-and-less popular occupation in Iraq.
Get the picture? He's in trouble.

Campaign Finance Reform. (Who needs the First Amendment?)
Pledge to renew the Assault Weapons Ban. (Come to think of it, who needs the Second, either?)
Open borders, amnesty for illegals. (Nothing is more important that cheap corporate labor.)
Offshoring of every job worth having. (Except maybe massive corporate profits at the expense of the very customer base who supports them.)
But it's O.K. for George Bush to advocate all this, because after all. . . he's a Republican.
