'Senate Candidate: Sending Jobs Overseas Is The American Way"



Most business people who run for public office emphasize their record of creating private sector jobs for the people they hope to represent.
But David Perdue, Georgia's Republican candidate for Senate, is taking an entirely different tact. bragging about the jobs he sent overseas.

Responding to reporters on Monday about revelations that he outsourced jobs during his career as a corporate executive, Perdue argued that offshoring "is a part of American business,
part of any business," adding, "I'm proud of it."

According to July 2005 deposition obtained by Politico, Perdue admitted that he
"spent most of my career" outsourcing jobs and shifting "manufacturing operations to lower-cost foreign factories, especially in Asia," while serving as CEO of a North Carolina textile manufacturer called Pillowtex Corporation.

Perdue added that he also moved parts of the manufacturing process to Asian countries while working with Kurt Salmon Associates, Gitano, and Sara Lee.

3. I am in extreme north GA mountains,

always blood red. I am amazed at the Nunn signs I am seeing here. I hope for the best, but usually too many Georgians fail to exercise good sense when it comes to voting.
