Reply #31: It's more than waffling

she does not take an unambiguous stance on any of the important issues that matter to mainstream US. She is an expert at "double-speak".

I have not joined any of the "let's bash the candidates" threads because I am not happy with most of our candidates, and the one's I am a little happier with do not show any signs of being able to even make the primary nom.

But, personally, I am a victim of the Clinton administration's passing of NAFTA. I am a tech person, and, contrary to what is widely believed, the mass H1B import of workers (particulary from India) began at least prior to 1998.

Back in 1998, I was a consultant working for a very reputable consulting firm, and, this firm threw a holiday party in December, 1998. I attended, and what I saw really alarmed me. I went to the "festivities" with a male co-worker. Once we were there, we saw we were the only Americans there, aside from the consulting firm's administrative staff. Out of a room of at least 100 consultants, we were two out of approxmately 100 contractors.

At that time, I didn't know that this was a dire set of circumstances for tech people. I now know that it was as I have been looking for a job for a very long time after being laid off from a job that I held for about 8 years. You guessed it: my former position is now in the hands of a firm that employs, again, you guessed it, Indian contractors.

On a positive note, I do currently have a wonderful short-term contract. Blessed Be.

Clinton was responsible fo the passing of NAFTA. And, because of this, I will never, ever, vote for his wife.
