If you're comfortable with the way things are going here in the good ole USA... by all means, vote for Bush. I hope you always have the luxury of holding to your principles. Personally, I'd rather feed my family.
No, I'm not comfortable with everything here. And I'm not voting for Bush. But how you can blame him because your company gained support overseas is beyond me. Do you blame William McKinley for the jobs all those people lost manufacturing parts for buggies? What did he have to do with that?

I think the root of our disagreement lies with what we believe the function of government is. One of the things I can assure it has no control over, nor is does it have any legal obligation to protect is job losses. Like I said in my example, what is Bush or the government in general supposed to do? If it forces companies to stay here, then other companies who can manufacture a product elsewhere for less will survive and companies that are handcuffed here will go out of business.
