MS-Sen: Trade a hot issue PDF Print E-mail
Written by Stumo

Trent Lott retired before his term was up.  Mississippi governor Haley Barbour appointed Roger Wicker (R) to fill out the term.  Former governor Ronnie Musgrove (D) is challenging Wicker for the seat. 

See the rival videos below the fold.  The first is Wicker charging that Musgrove lied about creating jobs while in office.  The second is Musgrove accusing Wicker of shipping jobs overseas by voting for NAFTA, CAFTA and "free trade with China" (which must be Permanent Normalized Trade Relations with China).

The second one is especially interesting, because Wicker's spokesman implies that it is good to get rid of low-skilled jobs, and that we replace them with high-skilled jobs. 

Here is the Wicker attach on Musgrove.

 

And here is the Musgrove attack on Wicker.

Bill Clinton said that we will replace low skill jobs with high tech good paying jobs a decade ago. That did not happen either. We do not have a counytry where everyone is a rocket scientist. There must be jobs available to all walks of life. To say that the country only needs a certain type of job only tells us that somebody pad for that announcement.
