My company is shipping jobs to Asia as fast as it can. Jobs are being transferred to ‘tertiary sites’. Isn’t that cute? That’s what we call offshoring now, transferring jobs to ‘tertiary sites’.
From a corporate viewpoint, these ‘job transfers’ save hundreds of millions in labor costs each year, freeing the money up for big bonuses. George Soros also reminds us that corporations see opportunities to make money in China and India in the coming radical realignment of the global economy.
If there were no disasters, how would Republicans and corporations profit?
I faxed both of my Senators today. Fat lot of good it did. Republicans, supported by their captive Democrats, rejected a Senate Judiciary bill with no retroactive immunity and instead voted to protect patriotic telecoms and corrupt politicians from future prosecution.
Congressional Democrats serve Republicans. Republicans serve themselves.
Cheney must need this ‘retroactive immunity’ pretty bad. If someone needs ‘retroactive immunity’, doesn’t that mean they have done something impeachable.
You would think 935 ‘misleading and deceptively false statements to justify military action against Iraq’ might justify Articles of Impeachment for Bush, Cheney, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, Ari Fleischer, Scott McClellan, Donald Rumsfeld and Paul Wolfowitz.
Impeachment is what the people want, as measured by a recent MSNBC poll showing 89% support Bush's impeachment. But Republicans don’t want impeachment. Neither do most Congressional Democrats, including progressives.
I emailed my Congressman, Representative Jerrold Nadler, asking him not to block the impeachment of Dick Cheney. This was probably another waste of effort. My Congressman, a good man who voted against the Bankruptcy bill, is letting Republicans get away with murder.
Is this as good as it gets? Is Justice possible after the Bush and Cheney pardon machine grants 'retroactive immunity' to every Republican crook who ever sold nuclear secrets to foreign operatives?
Who does Cheney want to see elected President? Who is least likely to investigate him and all his friends? Who is most likely to upset the shadow government he’s created? Who is most likely to support corporate interests or sing kumbaya?
I think the words President John Edwards makes Cheney sweat. That's why I will vote for Edwards on February 5. I hope you will consider doing the same.
