The Democratic base that lost on NAFTA, that Clinton was only able to win on because the GOP supported it, is driving the entire Democratic nominating process. Kerry is running as fast as he can from free trade positions with his "Benedict Arnold CEO's" rhetoric.

The hostility to free trade that pervades all workers these days, blue collar and white collar, is incredible.

Tell me some more on what will happen when OPEC switches from dollars to euros. Has your brain ever considered that ?

More partisan nonsense. Kerry is an active U.S. Senator. The U.S. Senate is in session right now.

Yet Kerry won't submit a bill, and hasn't submitted a bill, to repeal NAFTA. He likes NAFTA. His wife makes out like a bandit due to NAFTA, and you union rank and file don't care that he won't repeal NAFTA because you've been ordered by your betters to support Kerry no matter how much he likes NAFTA.

The Dollar would drop in value. The export based economies of China and India would collapse overnight (because everything they sold to their largest customer would skyrocket in cost).

U.S. exports would become radically cheaper and more competitive globally, and the U.S. economy would boom as it switched over to making the goods and services domestically that it was formerly importing before the collapse of the value of the Dollar.
