How many times does former USTR Robert Zoellick have to say that CAFTA isn't about trade, its about "alleviating poverty" and "giving hope" to central America before you get it?

How many times does Rob Portman have to say " I call it CAFTA-DR or DR-CAFTA so it doesn't rhyme with NAFTA" before you begin to understand this agreement isn't about trade?

How many times must the "free traders" be shown that CAFTA is about the "trade capacity building" giveaway of US taxpayer money, the illegal use of US domestic agencies to build foreign countries into competitors for US business on the taxpayer dime, where in their natural state they could not compete without the help of our disloyal federal government?

How many times must it be shown that the CAFTA and other "free trade" agreements bypass constitutional government by setting up an unconstitutional "trade minister" to negotiate deals in place of Congress, to cede sovereignty to the WTO to make decisions that the elected representatives of our government should be wholly responsible for, and that CAFTA sets up unelected "working groups" to implement the agreements in any way they see fit without any review or debate by the American people who just get stuck paying for it all? How many times?

You'd probably be #1 on the list who drives me nuts, because you want to discuss everything EXCEPT what the agreement actually provides.
