I note that when quoting another I couldnot correct that persons grammar and although my control of typos and spelling is at best spotty on my own part I do not engage in ptroling for these things.

It was your grammatical mistake in the first place.

Not only freeze, but eliminate the extensions unless companies can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt the local workforce can not provide the labor.In other words enforce the law as written. Fine I am glad to see you see the light on this issue at least. Now I want those H1b's here now laid off unless aqnd until the companies can prove that there are no Americans who can do the job. i further support perjury prosecutions for those who have committed perjury. I presume you have no problem with enforcing the laws as written.
Even if teh economy were enjoying that 6 to 8 percent growth you say is predicted I would want the laws enforced and strictly enforced and I would want tariffs. the tariffs can't hurt the USA they can only help.

wow, that is interesting. this practice is also leading to a corrosive effect in the way private sector white collar employees view not only the companies they work for, but the whole view of the corporation as part of our capitalist system in the US. The basic model of US capitalism; that corporations exist to make profits, but also provide jobs and a tax base for the public sector, is being shattered in the eyes of many.

I would like for it to stay in place to help supplement our workforce if needed. These programmers are not evil, they are dedicated workers who contribute with their brilliance. I'd like to think you're referring to 'non-evil' American programmers, but you evidently ain't.
Asymmetrical warfare... OK, who signs your paychecks?

Yuo should lay low with all your BS hype. I' just had three friends in three weeks who've had their jobs shipped off shore.
Where the rubber hits the road, tens of thousands of Americans are losing their jobs every week, because GWB insists on continuing the globalist Clinton policies. In this regard, he's just as guilty as that POS.
....meet the new boss, same as the old boss....
As for my three friends, they are not going to make the mistake of voting for a guy who gives corporations a tax break for shipping jobs offshore.

This is going to stop soon, Bush can't afford to let it go, I am having my 2k dinner with him tonight and trust me he is going to get an ear full
Good to hear that. Have you ever been to another dinner or heard about topics of conversation in others? I'm interested to hear what Bush has to say about this in a candid environment. Hopefully he'll have some concrete ideas rather than "Americans will have to learn to adapt in a New World Order" which means "Start liking to live in a mud hut"

If I get my chance, he will heard that loud and clear, this is my first dinner but someone always get's to ask questions.

dinner with him tonight and trust me he is going to get an ear full Thanks. Remind him that it may very well be 'it's the offshoring, stupid' that catches ablaze and sticks.
Tell Rove to come check out FR if he's fresh out of strategery iteratives.

And if Rove doesn't maybe the 9 dwarves can put their numbskulls together and figure out that if conservatives on FR are complaining about Bush then maybe there's some straw there they can make some hay out of. Nah, let's just complain about Niger and nukes.

....maybe their comments were out of context and they do see it and the report left those parts of their statements out. Based on my experience at Klamath Falls, I know that the media can purposefully distort, or skew stories, in order to get their own biased point of view across. Maybe that is what has happened here.

Last night only 350 people showed up to support Bush for the entire state of Colorado, he raised 1 million dollars but for state with a population of 4 million, that's not good. There were 4000 protesters outside the dinner, all with signs, "where is my job". I think he got the message.

Retract your 4000 lie that was already debunked elsewhere.

I can't retract what I heard on the radio, all I can do is admit where I heard it and say that it is most likely wrong. If you had one ounce of wit, you would know.
To: samuel_adams_us
You can't distinguish between 100 people and 4000 people? You were there, you saw with your own eyes. Get some new glasses.
100 people:
111
4000 people:
1111111111111111111
1111111111111111111111111111111111111
1111111111111111111111111111111111111

What's important here is that the GOP fix this situation before it becomes, once again, the achilles' heel.
