Very distubing and sobering caller to Ed Show today, re: China
Heard this about an hour ago: a stewardess called in who had just returned to the U.S. from China.

She couldn't wait to call into Ed's show with this news: it seems the Chinese are very anxious about the Dems holding on to Congress, as it would be very bad for their economy.

She said it was all over the Chinese and Russian news.

Foreign countries can and do rely on the Republicans for outsourcing our jobs to their countries.

And therein lies the kicker.

As Michael Jackson sang, "They don't really care about us".

1. Traitors. Un-American traitors. That's what they are.
They'd sell their mother to make a buck.

3. "They don't really care about us."
Some of us have been saying that for quite a while now.

Maybe one day it will be heard.

6. Republicans blame Obama for not creating jobs that they will ship overseas.
That's a Mad Hatter Tea Party on steroids.

8. That's one of the scariest things I've read in a long time...
but on second thought, NOT surprising in the least.

18. Why would the Chinese be so scared of us if they are doing so well with Dems in power anyway?

14. Thanks for posting this. Republicans have blocked every anti-outsourcing measure the Democrats put
up this year,

15. And we wonder where the U.S. Chamber of Commerce...
...got their money for all of those anti-Dem ads?

It came from overseas sources, such as China. It's no mistake that
those Chamber donations don't have to be disclosed and can remain a
dirty political secret.

Globalization has come to U.S. elections. Obviously.

Amazing that "patriotic" tea baggers who care oh soooo much about "liberty"
and "freedom" are feeding into the anti-American monster that is destroying
the country.

When they finally realize that they've been duped, I can only imagine
the fury that will be unleashed. They think Obama makes them angry...oh
boy, just wait until they realize that their own side has screwed them
seven ways to Sunday.

16. HOW can right wingers be so CLUELESS?
Right wingers don't even realize they are supporting the very people who are trying to take their jobs away, their standard of living away and their country away. When will the lights finally go on on their heads and realize they are being played for fools by their republican party, faux noise and right wing radio opportunists?

20. Not going to draw conclusions from the opinion of one stewardess
But why would they be so excited now? They've managed to survive four years of a Democratic Congress.

Heck if this is true the Democrats should have campaigned on it. Nothing like foreigners to stir up the citizenry.

28. all I can say is I hope Ed talks about that this evening
btw, have you not been taking note of just who is giving money to the Republicans this election?

Where do you suppose all the money for those ads they are running ad nauseum coming from?

Are you not aware of the Chamber of Commerce's "mission" to get Republicans into office? And their hard on for outsourcing?

25. Well, That's Strange
I have heard from Chinese people that their government would rather deal with Republicans. Maybe it's just a question of the devil you know.

It's crystal clear that Republicans are all for sending our jobs overseas to cheap labor countries. How can any working American support them is beyond me.
