Disgust with Republican Party
Hello All,
Less and less I am identifying myself as a Republican. I have been a registered Republican since the early 1990s and voted Republican since my first election in 1988. More and more I am seeing my views and Republican views going away from each other.
Even though I am a capitalist, I am sickened by the GOP pandering to the interests of big business instead of what is good for the Country. Immigration and outsourcing are my two big pet peeves. There is damn little being done on either one.
I work in the Information Technology field, I have a number of friends who have had their jobs outsourced to India or China. I am also afraid of seeing my job outsourced. One day I called Dell about my sister's laptop and got a call center in India. When did Americans become unable to work in a call center? My company's help desk is located in Massachusetts, so this is a job Americans can do. I would sincerely love to see corporations punished for moving jobs from the United States to other countries.
President Bush is barely giving lip service to illegal immigration. The head of DHS ordered that illegal non-Mexicans be deported to their home country. A fence along the Mexican border would be one step to securing the border.
I fully support legal immigration. I am the grandson of immigrants and my fiancee is the daughter of immigrants. Due to quotas on Jewish immigration, my grandmother had to spend around two years in Cuba waiting for the chance to come to the United States.
I think it is time for a third party. A Conservative Party for those of us who are conservative but not neccessarily pro-Business.
Thank you for reading.

Not for 3 bucks an hour, unfortunately.
Very true, I know how much our Help Desk people make and the benefits they don't get.
