The RNC outsourced. Why aren't Dems trumpeting this at every opportunity? |

Pointing this out may drive home the fact that the GOP is the party of corporations, not of the people to many swing voters.

3. If you get a call from the RNC asking for money |

it comes from India. Frankly, I could see this as a perfect campaign ad for the Dems-the American gets a call asking for money, and wants to know where the guy asking is from. The guy could say, "Delhi. And I am being paid the princely sum of thirty five cents an hour! A fortune! I sincerely hope the Republicans win so that my brothers and cousins can get more jobs that are outsourced from your country!"

Part of training for the person in India is to take an American name and lie about their location. Not sure, but I think it was CBS who aired that story.
You're going to identify them by their accent and their usage of words.

5. Yes,it was 60 Minutes. The Indian workers are trained to |

pick up the slang, take American sounding names. and learn the accents of the area of the country they are covering.
If corporate America felt good about the outsourcing of these jobs, why would they be so deceitful?

the accent. Its pretty obvious where they're calling from. I'm sure if the shoe were on the other foot, they'd recognize me immediately, too.
The corporations are hoping to suck the last drop of profit from the Americans that they can. Unfortunately for them, they will eventually be forced to either drop their prices or sell to a much diminished buying population. In the long term, this will cost them.
Sorry, this was for the prior post. I better quit while I'm only this far behind. :D

Anyone seen "The War Room?" In one scene, Carville is just watching the TV flip through channels, when he catches something on Brazilian TV about a factory printing Bush campaign commercials.
Clinton ran with it, but I don't think it got major play in the press.
