CAFTA may have been a 'victory' for the White House, but it was a loss for America.

The SELL OUT continues by Jorge.

I, for one, agree. The U.S. has been shafted again, and most don't seem to care.

So where are the breadlines and 20% unemployment that you guys told me would happen under NAFTA?

I feel like a broken record today.

...even though the economy by the standards of economists is not all that bad...

The "standards of economists" differ slightly from the "standards of the news media" in that to the media, the economy ALWAYS sucks under Republicans and is ALWAYS booming under Dims.

That's my take. This could well cost the Republican Party its leadership position. All because George was feeling down and needed a win.

I know. It's terrible.

Bring back Smoot-Hawley. That will save us.

Oh, and post 100,000 machine gun nests on the border with Mexico.

From the state with the highest unemployment in the country I can honestly say "I care".

Yeah, doing nothing while China gobbles up South and Central America is a sell out. Maybe you should investigate real world global politics. Bury your head in the sand behind the border instead of dealing with the threat of Chinese imperialism.

There are none so blind as the naysayers who will not see.

Trade is imperative to keep our economy strong but there are always those who see a dark cloud every day of their lives.

Democrats remained combative — but outmaneuvered.

I can live with that.

They need to lump all these trade agreements together into one.

They should call it SHAFTA.

I'm not sure how I feel about CAFTA, but I know the rhetoric coming from some of the people against on this board is the same rhetoic that comes out of the mouths of those I disagree with 99% of the time.

The same people that talk big but lose each election when the GOP gains seats because the majority won't follow them off the cliff. I don't believe in judging the merit of anything completely by who supports or is against, but it's tempting to do so when I hear that nonsense.

This AP article sounds remarkedly like what was posted on The Note this morning. My question is whether they all got the talking point, or if ABC set the tone.

Talk of "lame duck" came from the press. Since the press is always wrong, it's no wonder they were wrong in dismissing this man yet again.

According to RASS the prez's numbers have moderated around 50% on average. The Press evidently thinks we are not aware that they are conducting polls as credible as their editorials these days.

That never happened.

I could be wrong, but, it appears to me that the perpetually pessimistic have taken over FR.
