    I dunno if Romney is failing utterly or gaining traction.

    Andrew Sullivan: "Romney's sinking. He's sinking."

    But he is very excitable, that one.

    Oh yeah great how to gut consumer, environmental and employee security to attract jobs from China.

    Someone should inform Santorum that services are being lost to overseas too.

  • mindsporkmindspork Registered User regular
    Yeah. 0% tax. Oh, and you'll have to pay them minimum wage.

    +3 then -5,000,000,000.

    That is exactly the attitude (and the desire for more than 30 cents an hour wage) that keeps you from being competitive.

    Whoever has been coaching Santorum on how to give debate answers has certainly been earning their salary.

    Yeah I really don't understand the manufacturing focus.

    Maybe he thinks it'll play really well in New England and the Rust Belt or something.

    Still gonna have to get around the non-slave level wages an American's likely to demand for that job, Rick.

    Foxcomm was (according to this) double worker wages. To $300 a month. Assuming that's 40 hr/week, that's $1.88/hr.

    Gallup is showing an eight-point jump in Obama's positive intensity score since last month (from -11 to -3). Romney's at -1, down from 0 last month.

    Candidates: SOPA is bad because the internets are good and freedom good (and the bill is already DOA so why would I support that?)
