And specifically, what is it about CAFTA that makes you want a Democrat for the next president?

When I said you were wrong before, I should have made clear who exactly, was wrong about exactly what. In this case, it is you yourself who is wrong again, about my wanting a Democrat for the next President. Nothing could be further from the truth, and I opinted out the falicy of that statement in an earlier post.

Specifically, all of CAFTA, but the fact that it harms our sovreignty, subverts our Constitution, harms our national economy, our citizen's jobs, and a whole lot more as you will find as it unfolds in time.

Furthermore, the way in which CAFTA was rammed down our throats agains our wishes (I and many others fought vociferously against it). Technically, we won! the fight against CAFTA, but the Republican House broke it own rules and kept the voting open for far longer than was legal while the White House and Republican leadership bullied the last remaining hold-outs until it barely passed by a mere two vote margin.

Sorry, I can't wait to see it unfold. I would like to know now. Every trade agreement we have entered into has been badmouthed. Some feel that trade and international relations/defense have nothing to do with each other. Some feel that we can stand on our own economy and can simply set out our requirements for the rest of the world. Nothing could be further from the truth. Yes, the world economy affects American jobs. Been happening long before CAFTA. Chinese imports dwarf anything CAFTA could ever do. We conservatives talk about capitalism as if it were the private domain of the US. We have been exporting capitalism for a long time. Now much of the rest of the world is ready to play the same game we do.

Specifically, how does CAFTA subvert the Constitution and endanger our sovereignty?
