What is amazing to me is that if you look on DU they are passionate about Iraq and gay marriage. Not a word about outsourcing and globalism.
How tone deaf is the left ?
If Kerry continues to back away from outsourcing he will lose big. I used to think this was a partisan issue. It isn't. It splits both parties between nationalists and globalists.
I would suppose those concerned about protectionism/outsourcing as their primary voting issue have made up their minds. Those opposing outsourcing/free trade will vote against Bush, so why expend energy on an automatic win?
Outsourcing elicits a very personal political view when it directly affects someone. Part of that political view is the supposition that the issue should be at the forefront of the presidential debate. Unfortunately for those people, I do not believe it will get a big role in the campaign.
I totally agree with you. Its the one winning issue they have and since their primaries some months ago, I can't figure out why they are not attacking from that angle. My only guess is that both Kerry and Edwards must have personal wealth or their donors have business ties to outsourcing projects. For the life of me I can't understand. Instead they are focusing on issues they lose hands down.
No it splits economic Know Nothings from those who actually have a little knowledge of how an capitalistic economic system works. Just another RAT appeal to ignorance and envy.
Outsourcing is just another RATmedia slogan to capture the heart of the Leftists/Victims.
Yes. However both Kerry and Edwards voted for the war in Iraq as Senators. That leaves a lot of Dem voters all dressed up with nowhere to go. Maybe Dean should get back in the race.
