Southern Repuke plantation owners invite "guest workers" from Africa!!
Okay - I haven't heard this reported yet - but would anyone here be all that surprised if this was indeed the next proposal from BushCo and the Cheap Labor party - in there undying effort to deliver the Walmartesque corporate scoundrels of America an efficient slave labor force - further decimating and destroying the American middle class??

Dem candidates should be pouncing all over ChimpCo's exploitive "Guest Worker" plan! This can't possibly go down well in America's heartland - along with the rest of the Chimp's insane program! Okay, so Chimpy's going to invite slave wage laborers into the United States to further infiltrate and monopolize the lowest wage rung - likely bringing down competitive wages for other Americans - and American tax dollars will continue to go to rebuilding Iraqi schools and hospitals, while American schools and hospitals (such as California's) will be allowed to deteriorate - due to a lack of cash in America - Chimpy having managed to turn the biggest surplus in history into the biggest deficit! All this without even raising the issue of the expense - in human life and monetarily - incurred in unlawfully and pointlessly destroying Iraq - based upon a documented policy of continuous lies about a phony national security threat - and leaving America bogged down in an unwinnable, Vietnamesque war which has decimated our volunteer military system, and will likely necessitate a reinstatement of the dreaded DRAFT!

Jeez! And this guy is supposed to be hard to beat? Of course the fact that the entire state of Ohio appears to have just committed to using Diebold DOES make this insane/inept warmonger unbeatable!!

:puke:

Someone please tell me I've just been having a bad nightmare that seems to have lasted for over 3 years now!!

7. "Fortunately", EP??
Not that I am doubting you personally, but in this Age of Orwellian Totalitarianism I prefer to find the believable corroboration before I'll buy anything on faith.

Nothing personal, but that certainly includes people telling me what I want to hear or expect to hear.

No offense, but a link would be very helpful here so that I can put this from my mental "who knows" file into my "this probably happened in some form" file.

Can you help a guy out, EP?

9. Unfortunately, TP,
I forgot to prominently display my sarcasm button in my original post. I did, however, just start another thread regarding the use of "guest workers" by the US in the Marianas Islands - which has amounted to the creation of slave labor camps which are being exploited by the likes of American corporations such as GAP... The fact that the subject line of this thread sounded conceivable to you at all demonstrates just how insane things have become under Bushivik rule!

Kee-rist! What's it coming to?

4. Well Cheney's got all that experience with slave labor for Halliburton...
Got prosecuted for it too, didn't they? Was it a hand slap punishment? I don't recall the outcome.
