Tariffs Boost Bush Among Steelworkers

CLEVELAND - President Bush (news - web sites) is getting support from unlikely people in battleground states: some steelworkers who are grateful for temporary tariffs that helped the struggling steel industry begin rebounding.

While experts say steel unions as a whole will support Democrat John Kerry (news - web sites), some pockets of workers liked how Bush handled the tariffs — a key campaign issue in such states as Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania.

The 201 tariffs were imposed in March 2002 to shield struggling U.S. steel producers from foreign competition. The tariffs were supposed to be in place for three years, but the Bush administration ended them in December, angering the unions.

But some steelworkers were happy with the relief they got, including Bob Hoover, of New Cumberland, W.Va.

Perhaps I'm just a bit dimwitted here and not reading this correctly, but it sounds like Bush actually hurt the steel industry by cutting this off early, yet some of these guys are still gushing over him??? It's like they are saying, "Well, he did screw us in the end but that's okay! We did get some crumbs!" :shrug:

1. It's like they're Republicans

And their vote has absolutely nothing to do with steel, but the whore media will say anything to sway opinion to Bush. This is just getting beyond disgusting.

2. It's beyond disgusting!

It's like saying, "Well Bush did cut off my hands but he let me keep the elbows. Thank gawd for Bush!!

And the media paint such a pretty picture. :puke:

3. They will do ANYTHING to win, no matter how obvious, no matter how low

Dirty tricks are just the beginning for these ratfuckers. Watch and learn. This is a Machiavellian machine unlike any to be released on a living Democracy in the history of the world. This is Chancellor Palpatine appointing himself Emperor of the former republic.
