Organizing CEO's for Bush....truly despicable
http://www.thehill.com/news/010704/bush.aspx

snip:

"In addition to advancing the presumed benefits of the administration’s economic policies to their workers, the effort will be bolstered by endorsements from a separate group of industry leaders supporting the Bush-Cheney ticket. They plan to communicate their political preferences through a group that one Bush ally called “ association CEOs for Bush.”

Although business groups have been begun to focus more on voter mobilization in recent years, the current efforts reflect a higher level of sophistication and urgency — in large part because of the passage of campaign finance reform. This is likely why Mehlman is personally involved in the effort.

Mehlman has met with the organizers of the business voter-mobilization effort. To demonstrate their nonpartisan colors, they have also offered to meet with Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman Terry McAuliffe."

Jeez, these guys truly don't want us to choose our own leaders! How is it possible to combat so much money?

It's almost refreshing to hear the RNC name this movement for waht it is: "CEO's for Bush..." Anybody personally KNOW any CEO's? Why the fuck would anybody who isn't a CEO vote for this asshole?

Just when I thought I couldn't fell more pissed off....

2. Don't worry.
The CEOs are about to be outsourced to India.
The only thing we have to worry about is the continued presence of Dinesh D'Souza.

4. My company just outsourced all our IT
to IBM - who's sending it to India.

As to this new immigration BS policy. I hate hearing these corporate bastards tell me that I'm naive because Americans won't work the jobs immigrants take. If they'd offer a living wage for those jobs Americans would take them. As it stands they CAN"T take them, not won't.

The class warfare will erupt into their gated communities soon enough!!!
