The irony is that it takes a free-trader to correctly identify the countries that do not practice free trade.
I'm glad we agree that we do not have free trade with China. However, there seems to be a plan to create huge port facilities on the Pacific side of Mexico to blast all the Chinese and other Asian stuff through the Trans Texas Corridor. Now it seems to me that it's not so easy to cleanly separate NAFTA from "countries that do not practice free trade."
We in Texas have have to wipe the cow cr*p off after hearing from our illustrious state officials, who seem only too eager to sell us out.
Take a look at my dear Transportation Commissioner Ted Houghton. Earlier in this meeting he had lied when he said that the highway would not be for cargo containers. Then Houghton said it would not be a NAFTA highway because "it would not connect to Mexico." Then laughter from the audience. We are being sold out.
One think I do not like about NAFTA is that it will permit Mexican truckers, whom we have no way of really identifying, and have no reliable police/safety records, to drive all over the USA. I despise both Dem candidates and would never vote for either, but they say they want to re-negotiate NAFTA, which is really flawed, while McCain thinks it is just fine. I'm not sure how that will affect the election in "the big picture," but it does demonstrate to me more McCain warts.
