Hey nafta is a big deal to people living in Ohio and Bill signed nafta into law the day he took office. there were a lot of edwards supporters in ohio.

People in Ohio were losing manufacturing jobs a LONG TIME before NAFTA ever came around... high taxes and greedy unions are the problem, not a mushy free-trade agreement.

I know that hurts to hear, but.. it’s the truth. In the 1970’s, the street of Houston were FILLED with “rust-belt transplants”.

Right, I am pro free trade, but Clinton does not get to run on “record” and “experience” and then claim to have been against important things done during the Clinton 1990s. One way or the other, but not both.

More importantly it is very very important that the Dim nominee will be the guy who sent out mailers against health care mandates.

Well, Bill did not sign NAFT INTO law the day he took office. The U.S. House passed NAFTA on November 17, 1993, by 234-200 vote (132 Republicans and 102 Democrats voting in favor; 156 Democrats, 43 Republicans, and 1 independent against), and the U.S. Senate passed it on the last day of its 1993 session, Saturday, November 20, 1993, by 61-38 vote (34 Republicans and 27 Democrats voting in favor; 28 Democrats and 10 Republicans against, with 1 Democrat opponent not voting).

He pushed NAFTA down the throats of Labor and they still backed him for reelection in 1996. Serves 'em right.
