AP: Castor keeps up attacks on Martinez for outsourcing jobs

[ryban]

ORLANDO, Fla. - Republican senatorial candidate Mel Martinez reached out to central Florida's Puerto Ricans on Friday while rival Betty Castor vowed to protect jobs from being shipped overseas.

Meanwhile in Tallahassee, Castor latched onto reports that La-Z-Boy Inc., with Martinez on its board of directors, announced in August it would outsource about 650 jobs. The company said it decided to lay off U.S. workers when antidumping tariffs against Chinese producers failed to stem a glut of bedroom furniture.

"How can we trust someone like Mel Martinez to fight to keep jobs here at home when he himself was part of a corporate board that voted to send American jobs overseas?" Castor asked.

Her campaign has said she would support tax incentives for corporations creating jobs at home while eliminating incentives for companies that outsource jobs.

1. I see a lot of Martinez ads. I already voted for Castor,

Kerry, etc. I've only seen a couple of Castor ads here in NW Florida.

[Catfight]

2. Martinez is sleazy, disgusting and rude, his ads are the most negative

ads ever. He is Wrong for Florida just like Dubya is Wrong for America.

[ahem]

6. Absolutely the worst ads I've ever seen...

He just couldn't be more of an ass. I really hope those ads have turned off much of his potential base.

3. We Need to "Outsource" all the Bushbots

5. Hooray for Castor!

Martinez is a bush minion who's using his ethnicity to get votes. Shame on him!
