No we are not...it's free trade, it's good for the country, you're being an alarmist....don't you know that Republicans are for it and you should be to??? How dare you rock the boat...you better get back in line and swear your allegiance to all the Bush Bots on FR....because in short time...someone will drag Hillary Clinton in front of you and threaten to use her on you unless you are in total agreement with every aspect of Bush's 2nd term....they will also point out how stupid you are......you better get it together or they will lash you and call you a DUmmy, lib or even possibly a tinfoil hat wearer....a side not, also make sure you understand that illegal immigration is not so bad....cause Bush turns the great eye the other way, so therefore we should not worry....Hillary might win is the trump card...don't forget these things...///i'm just here to help//// rant off ;)
