Each week we will take a look at a corporate or political leader who acts like, well, a weasel. This award is open to nomination and is limited to current office holders. Today's winner is...
David Dreier (R - China)
Member of Congress*
Breaking tradition, today's Weasel of the Week is a member of Congress: David
Dreier (R - China).
The Congressman was quoted
this week several
places in the Indian Media - who really fawns over their man in Congress.
Dreier is a completely laissez-faire, throw open the borders kind of guy. He
has yet to meet an immigration or
free-trade bill he didn't like. He doesn't
believe in expensing stock options unlike Warren Buffet. He argues passionately
about the shortages that the ITAA dreams up with its cash from Industry and
vigorously champions any and all attempts at dumping foreign workers in the
USA and depressing wages. Think we're exaggerating? Visit
his website and see for yourself. You might want to even call his office
and ask him how he justifies his popularity abroad at 202-225-2305.
He has a virtual lock on his seat according to CampaignOnline.com. Perhaps that's
due to being
well-funded by many of the outsourcing and labor dumping king-pins, such
as Walmart, Citigroup, Sprint and Seibel according
to OpenSecrets.org. He has received substantial funding from PACs supporting
outsourcing such as Finance,
and Communications
and Electronics. He's doing so well that he's actually passing
along money to other Republican candidates.
Congratulations, Congressman Dreier for representing your constituency of foreign
slave labor employers well. You've got their votes in November, but you sure
as heck don't have ours.
*Congressman Dreier is a member of the US Congress, not the Party
Congress of China.
