Temporary Madness (THE HOUSE IS OUR ONLY HOPE OF STOPPING THIS IMMIGRATION BILL PASSED BY TRAITORS)

This is the same rationale behind the original Constitutional compromise of the two houses of Congress. Only instead of balancing states against each other, we now have to balance wealth transfer recipients against taxpayers in an electoral fashion.

What is obvious is the misdirected rage against the President and the economic realites which have led to this situation. And the simplistic ideas of what to do about it. As long as there is an immense difference economically between the US and Mexico the force drawing them here is irresistable.

The only question is how much damage the Illegalaphobes will do to the party which is on their side in their blind hysteria which should only be directed at the Party of Treason and a few in the GOP.

The GATT was negoitiated and ratified in 1947 and there have been 8 rounds of negoitiations. Which one became a popular tv show?

Most of the opposition to these trade agreements and WTO have come from the Looney Left opposed to "Globalism" and international capitalism well, ANY capitalism actually. That is who was rioting in Seattle and other cities where the WTO meets. Lots of Anarchists, too.

History of the GATT and WTO did not end in 1947:

Terminated on 31 December 1995

In light of the entry into force of the Marrakesh Agreement establishing the World Trade Organization as of 1 January 1995and its ratification by almost all GATT Contracting Parties, those parties decided to terminate the GATT 1947 as of 31 December 1995. The substance of GATT rules lives on since they are incorporated, with certain understandings, in the Marrakesh Agreement as GATT 1994.

The WTO and the amendment to the GATT treaty was quite a bit different than what was agreed to in 1947.

Most of the opposition to these trade agreements and WTO have come from the Looney Left opposed to "Globalism

Not altogether true. Many conservatives were against the WTO. The senators who voted for it admitted that they had never read it. The opposition at that time drew all sorts of opposites together to fight it. If you want to call Ross Perot, the Christian right, and Patrick Buchanen the looney left, go right ahead.
