... NOT!

(And for all you Kerry fans, I am SURE these are those 'low-paying' jobs he keeps referencing..)

I liked on Fox news last night, they had 4 talking heads on discussing why the stock market was down. 3 of them were "Fox contributors" the other worked at Wachovia.

The first three all said the market was down because the market is afraid Kerry will win.

The guy that worked at Wachovia said the market was down because earnings were down.

Just thought that was interesting.

I'm endevouring to watch more Fox News so I can get my own feel for how "Fair and Balanced" they are. I don't watch any of the other networks, I'm guessing Fox isn't worth watching either, we'll see.

Kerry would put a lot of people to work if starts a sandal factory and makes "John Kerry Flip-Flops". All the republicans will buy them.

All I want to hear is his explanation of all the jobs that Heinz outsources and how he can willfully spend the money made off of that company..

Oh, and also why he ridicules other companies for doing the same thing..

Nasdaq hit low of year and Dow now under 10.

I always thought the market was the voice of the coming future.

Chickenhead, don't play dumb, it's unbecoming..

Eventually even he is going to have to explain the hypocrisy.

I'm not playing dumb, John Kerry has exactly ZERO input into what the Heinz corporation does or does not do.

So I don't understand what you want him to explain exactly? You're holding him accountable for what?

So he did not gain $1 from the Heinz corporation's business?

If this is the case, then you have a point... But.........

I've made money off of Microsoft stock, does that mean I have to answer now why computers across the world are constantly crashing?

But, I am curious to know what exactly they do own, so I will dig for it now.

Kerry owns more than $4 million in Heinz stock (as of last May).

His wife sold more than $15 million in Heinz stock in 2002.


Now why would a man who calls companies that outsource "Benedict Arnolds" AND is running a platform that promises keeping jobs in the US, continue to own stock in a Corporation that outsources almost half it's work force?

I don't know why he owns Heinz stock. Judging from the chart, I would say he's a dumb bastard.

Yup. It's probably factoring in a Kerry victory.
