Hopefully, DeMint had the common decency to rub this in Maria Cantwell’s and Patty Osama-Mama-Murray’s faces, while singing neaner-neaner-neaner.

Not build where labor will bully you into higher wages and lower productivity? What are these guys thinking?

I think that the Seattle Boeing plant should go on strike and Governor Gregriore (sp) should eliminate all of Boeing's tax breaks in WA. This will show Boeing, again, that acting badly will only hurt themselves in the long run.

On Wednesday, the South Carolina legislature moved to offer Boeing a variety of tax incentives to lure the company to build a massive new factory on the site of an existing facility it owns in North Charleston. It's the first time since 2006 that Boeing will assemble a commercial airplane outside of the Puget Sound area and provides the company with an assembly line beyond the reach of the labor union that has caused production headaches off and on for decades in Seattle.
I love it when liberals get exactly what they deserve and I love it when capitalism works to reward fiscal incentives based on business friendly and capitalism friendly policies.

I think Queen Fraudoire and her little liberal minions should just pass a law that makes it illegal for businesses to leave the state!!! That'll fix 'em.....LOL!!!!
What a bunch of losers the libs in Washington State are.

What do you mean Boeings corporate offices are already in Chicago. This is just another step in taking it all out of state. Believe you me the quicker they more on the better for Boeing and the worse for Seattle. Bring it on. You can thank liberal business unfriendly Oly. and Seattle liberals for the last days of Boeing. MS will be next my FRiend.
The business friendly environment that once allowed the once small businesses to grow into world dominant corporations out of Seattle is long, long gone and those corporations know it. Boeing has just been around long enough to respond to it. Boeing anticipated and warned of this way back in the early 1990s. Washington state didn't listen.

This will be the crowning achievement in Gregoire’s career. “I put the union, who owned me like a plantation slave, ahead of the rest of the state, and I lost the only major global manufacturer left in the United States.”
To: RinaseaofDs
Exactly!
Hey unions you can thank your own. While you're sittin' on the couch with your bag of Cheetos and a beer watching American Idol reruns on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday just make sure to send another donation check to your union and liberal friends for the time off and off and off.

The Machinists union screwed the pooch again
Every 4-years like clock work they shut down production due to an IAM strike. When Boeing was looking for location to build the 787 other than Washington, IAM said if you want to build it right and on time build it in Washington, and that they could be trusted on getting the job done. That promise didn’t last long when IAM went out on strike again late last year putting the brakes once again on building airplanes, and causing a major slide in the delivery of the 787, and all the Boeing models, which cost Boeing a fortune.
I would hate to see any part of Boeing move out of the State. My livelihood depends on them sticking around - but can you blame them?
To: skeptoid
as taken from the Flightblogger link you so graciously provided:
Boeing's CEO says that"Establishing a second 787 assembly line in Charleston will expand our production capability, diversify our manufacturing base and ultimately drive down the cost of the 787 -- sustaining our competitiveness."
HMMMM. Now that sounds like a successful business. To be successful they needed to leave Seattle. HELLO SEATTLE AND WA. Wake the hell up! Oh. Too late. Can't wait to see a machinist make a nice macchiato for me when I visit.

This will be the crowning achievement in Gregoires career. And a fitting farewell to Sanford, who (aside from the obvious tabloid-headline scandal crap), did more to improve his own State than Spitzer, Peterson, Corzine the Barbarian, the Jerkinator, Malibu Jenny, Blanco, Fraudoire, Bill Richardson, and most of the others in recent memory.

“OHHHH YEAH!!! Well be moving to South Carolina over this (hopefully)”
Its been 2 generations since my family left the south, so I need a refresher course in southern living, so I don't embarrass myself.
