1. I had actually read it on this site from that lady Alice from dKos

http://gotv.blogspot.com/

A nice Virginian site that supports Miller among other candidates.

It really isn't that simple, union-wise, because Webb worked for the Reagan administration where he fired all of those air traffic controllers. So Webb is not exactly a union haven either.

2. This is what I've thinking

Which is why I thought "antichrist" of outsourcing was so stupid since we lost a lot of manufacturing jobs in the Reagan years. What's sad though is a lot of those union workers went republican becaues of social and foreign issues. Which is why I thikn we need to focus on economic issues more htan we do.

3. Very nice site

Looks like that person sees in Webb what we do, and I like the way she tries to put forth both campaigns. Don't have to bash to prove a point, I like that. I never got my Miller bumpersticker, I guess my info didn't take.

6. Listen to facts?

Surely you jest. Yeah I wush that too. People though just love rhetoric sadly though. It's why the kid who promises to get fast food in the cafeteria wins school president and why we have Bush. People like people who use rhetoric like bring em on, that sort a shit.
