It really doesn't matter to me. I never really liked the guy. and he's not getting my vote. But if this is true. Then it's another reason not to like him.
Subject: Made in Mexico
Shortly after reading the following e-mail content, I happened to
look at the label of a jar of Heinz sandwich slice pickles. Yep.... Made in
Mexico" Check some of your Heinz products. - Milt C.
"Sen. John Kerry keeps talking about U.S. corporations leaving
this country and setting up shop in foreigncountries, taking thousands of
jobs with them. He is right, because that has happened. However, he is
trying to blame it on George W. Bush. As far as I know, Bush has not moved one
factory out of this country because he is not the owner of a single factory.
That cannot be said about Kerry and his wife, Teresa Heinz-Kerry.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the Kerry's own 32 factories
in Europe and 18 in Asia and the Pacific. In addition, their company, the
Heinz Company, leases four factories in Europe and four in Asia. Also,
they own 27 factories in North America, some of which are in Mexico and the
Caribbean. 80% of Heinz products are made overseas. I wonder how many
hundreds of American workers lost their jobs when these plants relocated in
foreign countries. I also wonder if the workers in Mexico and Asia are paid the same wages and
benefits as workers in the United States. Of course they're not. However, Kerry
demands that other companies that relocate should pay the same
benefits they did in the U.S. Why does he not demand this of
the Heinz Company, since he is married to the owner? If Kerry is elected,
will he and his wife close all those foreign factories and bring all those jobs back
to America? Of course they won't. They're making millions off that cheap
labor."

Things that make you go hummmmmm......
Oafman, let's say it together: PROPOGANDA, not documentary!!! It is like going to a restaurant here and ordering an "entrée" as the main course. An "entrée" is an appetizer or an appetite teaser (thus, an "entry" into the dining experience) and not the main course. Arrrgggghhh!!! 
but I digress....

It is not true as the Hienz family has almost nothing to do with the company any more, and hasn't for awhile.

As for the rest, political talk belongs in the Saloon, so feel free to head on over there to continue this discussion.
