I hestitate in posting anything critical of a Democrat who has some progressive positions, because we are so needing to move in this overall direction, but on this one, since it's such a critical issue to American jobs, I just blew a rod frankly. It's so disappointing when the answers are obvious and promoted by so many progressives, to not see real policy for the nation interest in the Presidential campaigns. The next blog article has more information and I'm suggesting we ask all of the candidates to sign onto 3 bills already introduced into congress plus promise not to raise the cap until these reforms are implemented. Thanks for your courage and writing. Thx 2Truthy for your article.

Looks like Kucinich is the only guy out there who is standing up for the professional middle class. (I am the blogger referenced in this post asking the question "Is John Edwards the New Marie Antoinette?") How does the Edwards camp think they are going to beat Hillary now by echoing her position on selling out our white collar jobs by "expanding" the H-1b visa cap? If anything was (note past tense)going to put Edwards in the WH, it would have been the overwhelming economic populist vote that Hillary doesn't think she needs. I do not get this... Unless, of course, Gore is trotted out as the October surprise Dem candidate and makes Edwards his veep...Remember, Gore, the Energy businessman with ties to Silicon Valley --- is on the advisory board at Google, hangs out with Senator Boxer (pro-H-1b) and the Tech Lobby VC frat boys. Or, another scenario is that Hillary will pick Edwards for veep but I still don't get why Edwards, who has more money than he could ever spend, would want to give the professional middle class the finger and also settle for losing.

I really thought that Edwards was for the average guy and now to find that he's basically another smooth talking pretend populist... Bernie Sanders he's not. Though the more I think of it, its worse than depressing, its scary. All I see is a continuation of Bush economic policy with the election of any of the top 3 Democrats. What gets me though is why is the liberal blogosphere so silent not only Hillary's and Obama corporate connection but Edwards as well, shouldn't they be warning people about wolfs in sheep clothing rather than being cheerleaders for them? I don't get it. This is depressing. I really thought that Edwards was for the average guy and now to find that he’s basically another smooth talking pretend populist… Bernie Sanders he’s not.

I think Dennis Kucinich is our only choice here. I know Tancredo has a good position on H-1B but the rest of his agenda is so odious to Progressives and economist populists there is no way we can support him. I also note that while Republicans had control of both houses they did not pass one, not one H-1B Visa reform bill. They didn't even vote one out of House Judiciary committee. They did hold some very good hearings.

Your only chance is with republican tancredo and while he is not president material he is VERY honest in his views on immigration including H1b and can create enough noise in the campaign to influence the voters and other candidates.

I have since switched to Kucinich. I think all the other Democrats (except possibly Dodd and Gravel) have some cheap labor slop in their bellies. Very disappointing. What makes me really angry however, is the tactic many of them use of opposing outsourcing to gain grass roots support then turning around and supporting these damned guest (indentured) worker visas. The only difference between an American job lost to a foreign worker working in Mountain View and an American job lost to a foreign worker working in Hyberabad is that someone can claim the job is "being kept in America". Lying scum.
