It is back!
And the winner is...
John Kerry for his changing stance on outsourcing as reported in the Indian media this week.
I'm still stunned at the lack of interest there is in the news that Kerry supports outsourcing. The Indian press has covered the story ad nauseum and are quite happy to learn this. People in our movement seem to think that in regards to the issue of outsourcing and non-immigrant visas, we will have better chances with Kerry even if he doesn't support us.
I politely disagree. Kerry might feel guilty about screwing us, but he will screw us nevertheless. His recent statements about outsourcing and labor dumping call into question basic aspects of his character.
He lied to us - and this really, really bothers me on several levels. First, he has jettisoned us as he tacks to the Right in order to lure independents. Bush did not do this to his backers four years ago - although everyone expected him to. Secondly, he has done this to placate a foreign crowd. Note to John Kerry:
Indians in Delhi do NOT vote for you. Americans in America do.
What else will he do or so to placate foreigners? Third, he has shown no spine for sticking up for his own beliefs. If he is pro-outsourcing (which his voting record makes him out to be) then he should have had the balls to say so from the beginning. "Sorry ITPAA, TORAW, and Wash-Tech, I appreciate your efforts on behalf of America but I think you're wrong."
Lying and spineless Democrats. Is this what our movement needs in power? More importantly, is this what America needs?
Because of his behavior this week, we have resurrected this segment and regretfully levy the Weasel of the Week Award on Senator John Kerry. Official notification to the Senator is pending but is expected to be delivered on July 17, 2004.
