You've got to read this spin. Business week is trying to claim those who don't want their jobs shipped to India are somehow racist. Give me a break!

This is about a Democratic primary in Arizona between Blanche Lincoln and her challenger, Bill Halter. It seems Halter was busy making a bunch of money by labor arbitraging Americans and shipping their jobs to India.

Somehow I don't think that's too labor friendly and most importantly doesn't have anything to do with racism and everything to do about jobs in the U.S. for U.S. workers.

The increasingly bitter contest over the Democratic Party's nomination for the Arkansas Senate seat now held by Blanche Lincoln offers a preview of the problems that will increasingly strain U.S.-India relations. A business advocacy group, Americans for Job Security, is running television ads attacking Lincoln's challenger, Lieutenant Governor Bill Halter, for profiting from a software company called WebMethods that supposedly outsourced U.S. jobs to India.

Oh Bummer! A strain because India is in the business of stealing American jobs? What is wrong with these people? Don't they see even the current unemployment rate or the data from the last 10 years?

The thing is, the group who put up the ad would be all for shipping your job to India. It's a sham front group for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

Here is their ad, but what a joke, they would offshore outsource your job faster than any politician would and that's hard to beat!

Webmethods, Inc. does indeed labor arbitrage Americans and import foreign labor on H-1Bs. On the other hand, Blanche Lincoln has a terrible record in standing up for U.S. workers.

I guess this race is all about spin and nothing to do with constituents.

Be nice if the press actually reported the voting records and facts instead of trying to mask a major labor issue behind some name calling and accusations.

Bottom line is it looks like Arkansas has a choice between frying pan and fire in this primary.
