Amazing, you read something and then you try to repeat it and it comes out completely transformed into a Dakota-ified straw man that bears no resemblance whatsoever to the original statement. You seem to have zero comprehension of the written word. Are you really this dense or are you just pretending so that you'll have something to bitch about? Let me break it into teensy sound bites so perhaps you can comprehend (though I'm not hopeful).

Never thought it would be that easy to make a Republican out of a life long Democrat. Admiring the capitalist system,
Stupid statement no. 1. This just in...no matter what Rush says, Democrats and Republicans are all capitalists.
sending jobs to where costs are low
Stupid statement no. 2. Nobody is promoting this, it is just a fact of life in any capitalist system. You need to either find a way to work around it, limit unfettered capitalism with regulations, or ditch capitalism altogether. You seem to think that if someone makes an observation then they must be promoting the observation. Your reading comprehension skills are prekindergarten in this respect.
and advocating lower wages.
Really stupid statement no. 3. Nobody is advocating lower wages. Again, it is a capitalist fact of life. Perhaps you were sleeping (or more likely absent) during economics class (and reading class).
Now, if Obama came out tomorrow and started bashing businesses who send Jobs overseas the davester and stevie crowd would quickly fall in line and start attacking the greedy capitalists who destroy jobs with no regard to human cost.
Garbled logic and stupid statement no. 4. Most of you wingnuts seek to blame "bad" people for problems ("evildoers", "smoke em out", "kill 'em" ) and never try to understand or fix the root causes. You think that setting up "us vs them" leads to tangible results. Blaming "greedy capitalists" is a fools errand unless you are talking about the greedy capitalists who ran the executive branch over the last eight years and opened the floodgates of deregulation. Obama could bash businesses all he liked and it wouldn't do a bit of good...that's a Bush/Cheney tactic. Human nature is human nature. It is stupid to blame people in a capitalist system for responding to capitalist incentives. The "davester crowd" (I can't speak for $tevie, though clearly you wrongly attempt to) is not stupid enough to attack "greedy capitalists".
Half a page of nothing. Try again after you have regained your composure.
