Frankly, I expect nothing more than namecalling from free traitor shills. Your position is politically going down in flames. CAFTA is deadmeat. The American people can see with their own eyes that cheap imports are not worth losing good jobs here over. If the GOP nominates someone who wishes to continue the open borders, free trade policy, expect New Deal II in 2008.
The public sees clearly the Social Darwinist ugliness behind the free trade position. The elitist arrogance and contempt for working people. And in America, the side that is tagged as 'elitist' loses. In 2004 it was "homo-loving, latte liberals". If Hillary is as smart as I think she is, in 2008 it will be "open borders, cheap labor globalists" unless the GOP is smart enough to dump people like you.
"Workers of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains!"

SourceIf a rising trade deficit is responsible for "shipping jobs overseas", how do the critics of trade explain the fact that unemployment rises when the trade deficit shrinks and falls when it expands? The year 2004 fits the pattern comfortably. America's current account deficit expanded by about 0.6 per cent of GDP last year, while economic performance was also moderate to robust. Real GDP grew at an annual rate of 4 per cent and manufacturing output by 5 per cent, while the unemployment rate fell by 0.3 percentage points. In 2004, as in previous years, a rising current account deficit may have been bad news to headline writers, but it accompanied good news for the US economy, its factories and workers.

You accuse others of namecalling and then you use the words traitor shills. You don't see a problem here ?
Sure. And exactly how much of the vote did your standard-bearer, Pat Buchanan, receive in the 2000 election?
