kinda like global warming? at least Mitt Romney doesn't seem to believe outsourcing exists
from his Larry King talking points session last night:
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0801/14/lkl.01.html
KING: Your rival, Governor Huckabee, has an add in which he says he believes that most Americans want their next president to remind them of the guy they work with, not the guy who laid them off.
Do you think that was at you?
ROMNEY: I hope he hasn't stooped to that level. I actually hope, as well, that we don't, if you will, channel the John Edwards kind of speak where we attack people in our own country. Look, this is not a time for America to be divisive. I spent my life in the private sector. Unfortunately, Governor Huckabee has not had a job in the private sector, in the business world. He doesn't understand what it's like to create jobs and also to see jobs go.
No one likes to let people go. That means that your business is in trouble. And people only do it to try and save their business and to try to rebuild it and save as many jobs as possible. I've been in a situation where, prior to taking over a CEO position, the company had laid people off. We fought real hard to keep that from happening again and fortunately rebuilt that company and now it's a very successful large enterprise.
But let's not attack employers. That's -- I don't think you ever gain something for wage earners by attacking the wage payers.
and he said earlier in it that the auto industry has lost so many jobs b/c things like "the burden of very high health care costs", CAFE requirements and taxes....he made NO mention of outsourcing and actually said ppl are ONLY laid off when there's no other way to save the business! ha, good luck w/ that message in Michigan, let alone South Carolina!

standin above the crowd
he had a voice that was strong and loud and
i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
eager to identify with
someone above the crowd
someone who seemed to feel the same
someone prepared to lead the way
