Hecho en Mexico.....

Do you know how many times I've said exactly what you just said.

[thinktwice]

nothing will change.

Everything changes ... every moment, and American attitudes toward Mexico shifted backward -- how far remains to be seen -- when Fox folded to Mexico's pacifist left in what could have been Fox's finest hour.

This war is about peace with freedom -- and that kind of peace is only possible after the elimination of tyrants and dictators like Saddam.

and here I thought it marked the beginning of the tequilla season!
isn't that why you have to do cinco shots of Cuervo Gold?

[Paleo Conservative]

I think Mexico's failure to back up America in the United Nations is the last straw.

Yep, no more Jose Cuervo Margaritas.

[DontMessWithMyCountry]

si, yo puedo leer y escribir espanol. no problemo. jajaja ;-)

Apropos of nothing, the Margarita was an American inspiration.

Okay, better tin-foil up for this one...here goes.....

GW has been kissing Fox'x ass since 9/11 for one reason...CHINA! So what does China have to do with Mexico? (better really foil-up for this one!) We share a very large "border" with Mexico. If we start deploying troops along the Mexican border and generally start treating them like we should, they might turn to the OTHER country with a lot of money and big military...our good friends the Chinese! They are already running the Panama canal and Mexico can host a hole lot of troops from the other side of the planet. It would take years, but the Chinese are patient. IMHO, the last thing we need is to have China massing a presence in our own back yard when we are currently spreading out troops thin all over fighting terrorism. [/foil]

We need a website just for the damn boycotts.

We need an official freeper boycott thread.

Excellent point. I understand that approximatelt 25% of the population of Panama now are 'guest workers', i.e. Chicoms.

Thanks, Jimmy.

They have been a sad excuse for a friend in the past,

They have NEVER been our friend. Name one time that they have acted as allies. Not a jab, but a serious challenge.

If Mexico doesn't vote yes, we will see mass deportation of illegal aliens. The President won't want to do it, but he will not have a choice. The People will demand it.

Mexico fears backlash from vote on Iraq

Gee, ya think?

[B Knotts]

OTOH, China is highly dependent on us, too.

[bluecollarman]

Actually, I disagree with that. The days of mass-manufacturing in the US may be gone, but lookfor mini-manufactures and home based manufactures to replace a lot of overseas competition, as the process becomes ever more specialized and the cost to re-tool goes up for large production runs.

I have two product lines right now I am looking to manufacture rather than contract out because I can do it better, faster and less expensive. The equipment and technology is becoming less expensive and the prices for overseas production and shipping is going up. Not only that I can control the stock levels more efficiently, keeping more cash.

I really believe we will be returning to the days when there was a blacksmith, shoe maker etc. in every town. They will just be injection mold makers or whatever.

But then, I could be full of it.

[Orangedog]

But the US is the onlt thing slowing down their plans to take Taiwan and anything else they want to "annex". In another decade, the money from us will not be a big enough factor to keep them in check. We are a problem that they will have to deal with eventually.

"Oh my, our boycotts are getting out of hand. What with the French, and the Dixie Chicks, and the peaceniks, and the eastern liberal establishments. We have to limit our major boycotts to one country at a time."

I say, the more the merrier. You wouldn't necessarily have to boycott Mexico, just shut off the illegal immigration. That would be very much noticed in Mexico and would also help with the war on terror.

"Fox and Bush were close"......

Close, does not make friends...
Parasites are close to their host....and are bloodsuckers, not friends....

Fox is misnamed....he is a parasite...

Semper Fi

[KneelBeforeZod]

Dont worry, bush won't let his good buddy fox down.

[KneelBeforeZod]

hmm. Manifest Destiny vs. Let's go live in the desert.
