1. That reminds me ...

That reminds me of when Indiana was about to outsource it's call service for unemployment to India. Kind of ironic, isn't it????

2. Indiana more progressive than OR

Indiana successfully passed legislation to stop the offhoring
of state contracts.

I was shocked. I'm originally a hoosier and it made me proud...
and Indiana is extremely conservative Republican...

so OR should get w/ the prgm here they are losing their position
as the people's republic of Oregon!

3. Indiana Republicans

Both parties in Indiana are actually pretty moderate. Take Dick Lugar for instance. He's very well respected amongst Democratic circles. Likewise, Evan Bayh is reviled here for being part of the DLC.

At some point, even die hard Republicans have to admit that outsourcing your unemployment jobs is pretty fucking stupid. Just ask Pat Buchanan.

4. far right and far left agreeing on outsourcing trade

We don't endorse any party for that reason...
sane is sane and this economic insanity is on both sides of the isle.


You're right there are numerous die hard conservative republicans
who are up in arms as much as the far left is....
