Sigh, here we go again.

I can’t believe that defending the idea of good paying jobs for American gets you branded a democrat, DU plant, communist, socialist, etc. ,on this board.

I am an independent voter who has always voted republican until this year.

I have been on this board since 98 and I did a whole lot more than most people to get GW elected the first time.

Why can’t you republicans see what you are doing? You are handing the government over to the Rat party on a sliver platter and you are so blind that you abuse and run off the very people that are trying to warn you!

The exporting of the American middle-class lifestyle will not be tolerated forever and if the Republican party is going to chain itself to the idea, then it will go down into the “dustbin of history” with it.

I don’t care what your BS “free trade” theory is and neither do the people, many of whom were base republican voters, that are losing everything they had worked for, went to school for, sweated for, fought in wars for, because some poor sap in India is willing to do the job for starvation wages or a slave laborer in the workers paradise of Red China has a gun to his head held there by the communist government and Wal-Mart!!

Our government must protect the American people against aggression and attack from foreign countries and we are under attack NOW economically from countries that keep their tariffs against our goods, products, and services and manipulate their currencies to our disadvantage as well.

We sure as hell are not under any obligation to promote “free trade” with countries what cheat against us from day one of the trade agreement.

I realize that many on this board could care less if the majority of Americans are well off or not, but if you expect to have a national party based on the well-being of CEO’s and their ravenous greed only, it won’t work.

But go ahead, ride that horse right into the ground, don’t let me or any of the many other people on this board that know what is going to happen stop you.

Maybe you will wake up after 8 years of demoRat rule, course it may be too late by then but, you had your chance…

I recall talking to Dems in the 1990's who claimed that the economic boom was a direct result of Clintin signing NAFTA. So does free trade help or hurt the American economy? You talk as if America has become a wasteland of poverty and unemployment, but it looks to me pretty much the same that it did 20 years ago.
