The Chinese are targeting biotech, next. The Mrs. attended yet another Commerce Dept. meeting concerning this recently, and the Feds are being honest and upfront that biotech is fleeing the country in the next few years.

The Chinese are targeting biotech, next.

...and I was hoping they would target our lawyers and politicians. :-(

[warchild9]

From what the Mrs. says, they've got an over-abundance of their own, all good Communists.

So much negativism. Lets all plug our ears & hum a happy tune.

After all, there are no garantees in life & one can have more than a single career.

Lets not look to uncle Sam for a handout & for crying out loud, lets stop feeling sorry for ourselves. 4 billion people survive on third world wages so what makes us feel we're special?

[ex-snook]

Bump.

OPEN ASSIGNMENT
MISSION TO SAVE AMERICAN JOBS
August 27, 2003

President Bush:

Mr. President your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to recover the 3+ million jobs lost on your watch. You are to find where they went, recover them, and prevent this from happening again.

You have until November 2004 to complete this mission.

If you choose not to accept this mission, or are incapable of performing, don't run in the GOP Primary so another Republican can accept this important mission for America.

PS Ronald Reagan was the last Republican to understand. Ross Perot sent a warning to your Dad but since then all we hear is the mantra, 'Perot gave us Clinton'. Actually your Dad gave us Perot.

It's called not supporting a COMMUNIST COUNTRY. Remember the Soviet Union...? Communists? The enemies of freedom? Just because W loves them doesn't mean they're our friends.

[warchild9]

W won't listen. You have to yell louder than the $300,000,000 in bribes he's received so far.

Lets not look to uncle Sam for a handout & for crying out loud, lets stop feeling sorry for ourselves.

"Handout" my derriere.
The trade and economic policies advocated by the Bush Administration are equivalent to waging economic warfare against the American Middle Class.

[skeeter]

I'm with ya. I was just pre-emptively tossing out a few of lame responses the soon to arrive "free traders" will be offering.

[ARCADIA]

You note is going to fall on deaf ears.

GW has even outsourced his fundraising effort:

Dubya really has become a frightful parody of Papa Bush, hasn't he?

Good grief, one would think that even a nematode could at least learn SOMETHING from previous experience. But these clueless twinklenads seem hellbent on repeating the same old mistakes in spades. It'd be absolutely hilarious if it wasn't so doggone real.

I hope you merely forgot your sarcasm tag. If not I'm about to light you up.=o)

[SouthParkRepublican]

I believe the link you cite is a story that has been circulated before and a spokesman for W's campaign came out and flatly rejected that the information in the article.

[warchild9]

It's believable after the news came out that W personally phoned the Prime Minister of India to assure him that he, W, was planning on doing nothing to save American jobs from outsourcing to India.

[ARCADIA]

a spokesman for W's campaign came out and flatly rejected that the information in the article.

I am glad you said that. Do you know if there is an official statement posted anywhere?

[warchild9]

I don't think it's a case of a low learning curve. It's seems obvious that the people in Washington simply do not care. They can do anything they want, country's good be damned.
