“Linking the fate of the Republican party to that of a defense contractor is a dubious form of patriotism.”

That’s corporatethink. Republicans ought to try some Humanspeak, like “We’re keeping thousands of jobs here in the USA.” That’s what wins elections.

The USAF contracting office did not work hard enough with Boeing to negotiate the best plane at the best price. Government agencies are notoriously bad at negotiating.

Either way, it's bull****. If the Republicans are basing their economic platform on the USAF, Boeing, or Northrup Grumman, they'll help lose thousands more jobs, and I won't be voting for them.

Well the USAF contracting office sure worked hard enough with Boeing the first time around on this jet. That is why Darlene Druyan and some Boeing big shots went to jail.
