of exporting american jobs -- progressives won't get behind that.

there is a deep sickness in the american economic system -- one of the results is a lack of diverse jobs -- i.e. manufacturing is being lost to us.
the result -- more low wage service jobs. which in turn means we ''import'' foreign labour to do those jobs in many parts of the country.
and lately we begin to see high tech jobs that are service oriented going over seas.

there is also a divide -- and i loved seeing moderates here laugh at this idea -- between african americans and the democratic party.
the party did not get behind them after the 00 debacle -- and there is a bitter wound there.

and frankly after many, many years of voting dem -- if dems want me to stay home on election day -- that's fine.
the public will find more of their liberties in the hands of corporations with a moderate like lieberman or nelson.
you'll be safe from gay marriage -- but you'll see the democratic version of privatising government.
