These would be the Seattle wackos and the Chicago criminals, both of which are lefties

"I hope the voters of this state remember what John McCain has done to them and their jobs," said Rep. Norm Dicks, DEMOCRAT-Wash., whose state would have been home to the tanker program and gained about 9,000 jobs.

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"??

Looks like “Boing” hasn’t gotten good return on their bribes to the Democrats in Office. But, government always expects more money when they fail. Too bad, in the real world, companies should look at making profits not political hacks.

Boeing lib/dem supporters target McCain!!!!!!

If Hitler or Hussein gets into the white house Boeing will be building kiddy cars for supposedly disadvantaged chillen.

DEY TURK MUH JEEEERRRRRRRBBBBBBB!

The Democrats are turning into the image of Pat Buchanan right before my eyes. They hate Israel, they hate fighting back against Islamic Supremacists, and they hate capitalism. And as Mark Foley showed, they’re not above gay-bashing either.

"Having made sure that Iraq gets new schools, roads, bridges and dams that we deny America, now we are making sure that France gets the jobs that Americans used to have," said Rep. Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill. "We are sending the jobs overseas, all because John McCain demanded it."

Yo Rahm,

The planes will be built in ALABAMA, USA. Some parts will come from overseas, as do some parts of boeings planes, but boeing screwed the pooch and is now whining.

They don’t understand. John is good at surrendering. He wanted to practice surrendering to Europeans this time.

You would think that the anti-war moonbat politicos in Chicago and Seattle would be celebrating. What a relief of collectve guilt that these "war and death machines" will not be built under their watch.

Elections have consequences - If you elect anti war liberals like Cantwell, Murray and Dicks, don't expect to reap the rewards of big military contracts.

This is ridiculous. Boeing tried to bribe the Air Force to get the tanker job and two of its people did prison time for it. I am not pleased that the Eurotrash got a big piece of this, but Boeing had only itself to blame. If they had the best proposal they would have landed it. As it was, they had an inferior proposal.

[NormsRevenge]

what’s a few more jobs going overseas anyway?

[GregH]

Boeing concentrated on building a better product than simply whining about a contract that it lost in a fair process.

McCain is not going to the liberal loser votes in Seattle

Northrupp Gunman is a great company and as American as Boeing is, and also builds a superior product.

"I hope the voters of this state remember what John McCain has done to them and their jobs," said Rep. Norm Dicks, D-Wash., whose state would have been home to the tanker program and gained about 9,000 jobs.

Like it matters what Washington voters think about this. Washington will go for the Democrats no matter what.

What McCain should be worried about is Kansas. He was probably counting on that state.

"Boeing now will miss out on a deal that it says would have supported 44,000 new and existing jobs at the company and suppliers in 40 states."

VS

EADS - European Aeronautic Defense & Space Company 2,000 new jobs, and support 25,000 jobs at suppliers nationwide.

They just got a little more ammo for the effort. Only hope now is that the NYT made the story up...

“WASHINGTON — A co-chairman of Senator John McCain’s presidential campaign and other top campaign advisers and supporters were lobbyists for the European Aeronautic Defense and Space Company, part of a group that beat out Boeing for a $35 billion contract to build aerial refueling tankers for the Air Force.”
