Using the Clinton playbook for enacting NAFTA in '93, the White House is twisting arms and buying votes to win passage of the Central American Free Trade Agreement.
And the seductive song the White House is singing sounds familiar. It is the NAFTA theme song. CAFTA will ease the social pressures that have produced waves of illegal aliens. CAFTA will increase U.S. exports. CAFTA will not cost U.S. jobs. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Don't pass CAFTA!
I have to question the wisdom of a government that pushes things like CAFTA on a population that opposes it.
For once I agree with Buchanan.
"I have to question the wisdom of a government that pushes things like CAFTA on a population that opposes it."
LOL, you'd have to question almost every decision government makes. Look at something as simplistic as taxes...the population opposes it yet we're still forced to pay them. Something like a flat tax will likely never be passed.....it makes too much sense.

Wisdom? None. It is about elitism and utopian views of a SINGLE AMERICA or NWO, whichever perspective you have. (The latter from Bush One). Bush is pushing hard again (along with protecting illegal Mexicans, supporting the continued destruction of our borders and soverignty) to unite the Americas -- using FTAs as the vehicle. All of this, at EXTREME COST IN MANY WAYS TO THE REAL AMERICANS WHO ARE HAVING NO SAY IN THIS TAKE-OVER OF OUR SOVERIGNTY. Notice how covertly this has all been engineered.
Again, personal elitism, politics and lofty agendas trumping the real foundation of America, its principles, its people, its laws, its soverignty, its rights, its Constitution.
I am pissed. As all thinking and caring Americans should be -- just wait until you see what happens to the unemployment lines -- thanks again Washington for another knife in the back. Remeber us?? The people of this country who put you there for a reason...what, you don't remember??
A couple of years ago at a trade summit in Canada Vincente Fox was being questioned by reporters about opposition to these trade agreements. His reply was something to the effect that "sometimes the people don't know what's good for them. It's the governments job to give it to them." Our president stood by his side nodding in agreement.
I don't know about anyone else but that's not even remotely constitutional let alone they way our government is supposed to do business.
I have no problem with the principle of political leadership pursuing long-term policies over the objections of short-term mob rule.
However, I do object when the weasels deliberately misrepresent their intentions in order to mislead the angry mob.
So did the French and the Dutch. It's the same thing. The internationalist elites in Europe and the US, ooops... how silly of me, North America, and elsewhere, are the same crowd. This isn't about free trade either. Free trade doesn't require thousands of pages of regulations. This is about managed trade and the expansion of big government and big business.
