I am with you. I like Bush a whole lot, but Congress and Bush both (aka Republicans) need to put corporate America in its place. Whoever does that gets my vote.

I like Bush a whole lot, but if there are not 2 million new, high paying jobs HERE in the US within the next 2 years I will be glad to see him and the rest of them go.

The Senate recently voted also to end the 'buy American' provisions for US contracts... can you believe that? Its about the same as saying "I have confidence in the US worker...but then contracting out to the Chinese...

Apparently there is not that much confidence...

Compare this to the smug attitude that republicans have in saying that blacks are leaving the democratic plantation. Except that the republicans have their own plantation: the individual small business owner that always voted for the lesser government party that will help America prosper. But now their dream is slipping away as corporate America sees that they can make a buck (and keep it for themselves) by using communist Chinese labor.
I've voted Republican in every single election (well not for Dole as he was about 2 steps away from the senile home) but I'll switch over to the D side if things don't improve. Not that I think things will get better, they just won't get worse.

What we are witnessing here is the beginning of the end of America. This can't continue for too much longer or there will be another depression in America. I have a sad feeling that's exactly what our elected officials want to happen - a depression. What better way to make government even bigger? Worked for FDR.
