we are making sure that France gets the jobs that Americans used to have," said Rep. Rahm Emanuel, DEMOCRAT-Ill. "We are sending the jobs overseas, all because John McCain demanded it."
Shouldn't the article title read, "DEMOCRAT SUPPORTERS TARGET MCCAIN"??
or perhaps "While close, Illinois Congress critters now seen as even more shrill than the Taxachussetts critters!"

yep, the new Left has spoken!
This will be a volatile issue in the upcoming campaign...it’s not just
Washington, but Kansas and Tx...states McCain needs.
McCain was right in going after the 6billion contract that was rife with corruption. But in the politicized news cycle that won’t matter. People are losing jobs and it will resonate.
I personally disagree with the EADS contract for 3 main reasons:
1) With the economy slowing we will have billions of useless stimulus spending (The Boeing contract would be useful military stimulus spending)
2) Large military contracts should be kept on US soil for national security reasons. We need the capacity to buil our larger defense projects right here. When you lose that ability...it’s is very expensive to get it back.
3) Outsourcing: Just how far can we push the free trade outsourcing of the American economy? Now that Defense projects are included, I see a creeping erosion of military, intelligence and high tech outsourcing to unprecedented levels.
