Yo, ignorant person. Neither Kerry or wife have day to day control of Heinz--and as an addendum, most of those charters are company subsidiaries. Notice all the foreign words?

Wtf?

Having a ketchup distribution operation, in say, Britain... and owning a bottling company in Italy does not equate to outsourcing.

And focusing on the wifey's company has what to do with Kerry's role wrt to its business?

Rip - what does this list and that post have to do with eachother?

I heard Bush robbed a bank.

To demonstrate that, here is a link to information about how robbing banks is against the law.

If you can't see the parallel, then I'm not the one that can point it out to you.

When I said "flesh this out", I didn't mean give me some explanation on outsourcing. I meant explain the relationship between outsourcing and the list this that was posted here.

That's all...

I don't want some guy's opinion on outsouring from another thread, unless it talks about the claim of Kerry's dubious role in the Heinz corp's alleged outsourcing.

This "outsourcing/keep good jobs in America" stuff is BS from both parties. You can't espouse "free trade" and "protectionism" at the same time. Well, not if you're honest, anyway, so there you go.

But then, politicians build successful careers on dishonesty don't they? And they have an electorate to lazy to educate themselves to work with.

Does Heinz "outsource"? Absolutely. Does Mz. Kerry have influence with Heinz? Absolutely. Does Mz. Kerry appear on the platform with Mr. Kerry. Absolutely. Will any of this stop Heinz outsourcing? Absolutely not.

Bottom line though is that it doesn't matter.

Yeah.... Kerry woke his wife up in the middle of the night with an incredible thought: "Instead of shipping tomatos all the way to Europe, why doesn't Heinz just buy an Italian tomato farm!!!"

"Hmm.... I don't know... Do you think it will work?"

"It's just crazy enough - it might."

A bunch of backroom deals are made et voila! KERRY CREATED TEH EVIL KETCHUP OUTSOURCING!"

You miss both points.

It's amusing that Kerry blames Bush for outsourcing while his apparent bedmate is so intimately involved with an "outsourcing" company/empire.

OTOH, just about ALL major US countries outsource, will continue to outsource, probably HAVE to outsource to remain viable so it doesn't matter in the least.

Unless we get that protectionism going to help boost free trade here, of course.

And I'm disputing that there is ANY "intimacy" involved with his wife and the day to day operations of the Heinz corporation. She chairs a TRUST and a FOUNDATION and is not a member of the Heinz corporation board itself, ergo she has nothing to do with companies' outsourcing or lack thereof. She merely inherited incredible wealth.

As you like.

I think most view Terry Kerry and Heinz as "linked at the hip". Either way, she's an heiress that derives her income and importance from an "outsourcing" US company while her hubby decries that sort of company from the stage.

It's an inconsistency.


However, as I said, I think this whole "outsourcing" thing is beyond reality as an election issue when coupled with the "free trade" issue.

I can't believe people fall for it, actually.

Well, OK... I can believe it.

I think the whole thing will move towards something to be known as "free-ish" trade. :D
