Interesting congressional testimony on CAFTA PING

[Just A Nobody]

...just last year Congress had to pass legislation repealing U.S. tax laws because the World Trade Organization decided that they were not in accordance with international policy.

...we allow our own sovereignty to be continually assaulted by the NAFTA tribunal.

CAFTA merely adds insult to injury by continuing this downward spiral toward a complete loss of U.S. sovereignty.

Much more than "interesting" my friend, and about dam# time!!!

Thanks. Yes. Interesting to finally hear from the Republican Wing of the Republican Party. 'Bout time. And we just learned today that Minnesota's First District Congressman, Gil Gutnecht (R-MN CD1) has decided he's against CAFTA after all he has heard. Had enough of the slippery slope of losing our sovereignty...and abdicating Congressional authority and U.S. jurisdiction. The global provisions in CAFTA that 'umbrella' outwards to suck in all other trade agreement disputants, WTO, NAFTA, etc. are scaring any real conservative that looks at them.

The next guys here who likely will have to do a 180 are Mark Kennedy and John Kline. They are generally solid conservatives, but may have gotten roped into agreeing to really bad promises to the White House to support this turkey.

Time to put the Constitution before politics. If that burns bridges, so be it. The Base will remember...and defend any real patriots. And they will also remember who sold them out for political candy...
