The Breck Boy is a day late and a dollar short.

NAFTA is a miserable failure, but it has been for some time now. He's just throwing a rotting fish to his dwindling constituency.

He has 3rd locked up and that’s about it, his days of fishing for the top spot are toast long ago. His wife has a better shot at it.

Nobody that purty (or dense) could or should ever be elected POTUS. ;-)

Sounds like he’s throwing you a bone, imo.

I think this is brillent- remind all the DemocRATs that all they really liked about Clinton was that he won the presidency. After that- NAFTA, Free trade, China, Welfare Reform, losing the congress, lower spending, tax on Social Security and continued occupation in Yugo, he was a complete failure for democrats.

Edwards aside, globalist GHWB began the movement toward NAFTA, Oxford fellow and globalist, Bill Clinton completed it for the one worlders, globalist GWB signed, sealed and delivered the NAU. If Commie Hillary retakes the White House, who else would she choose to be VP but Bill? The question is, could Bill run for President again when her term is history?

Folks, this is serious stuff! No more globalists! If we don’t elect a proven Conservatist, we will lose the two party system forever. And the baby does go down with the bathwater!

As if there were high levels of unemployment. We’ve had about 24 years of an excellent economy with just two rather mild recessions. Compare that record to the previous 50 years.

Not really. I’ve never thought of economic illiberalism as particularly “conservative,” in the (American) political sense.

What do you think of the Chinese manufactured goods that are shipped to places in Mexico where they are relabeled “Made in Mexico” then shipped on to US destinations?

The same way I feel about Chinese manufactured goods shipped directly to the U.S. It’s all crap, so what’s the difference?

The only good thing about the race starting so early is that I get to watch these idiots cannibalize each other.

Agreed. We need to stop worrying about phony issues like “lost jobs to NAFTA” and start figuring out who is going to be running the technical infrastructure of this country in 10 years.

My fellow baby-boomers and I will be retiring and there is nowhere near the number of young American engineers coming up the ladder to fill the void.

This will be a real crisis, not a fake one. My guess is most of these jobs will go to foreign born people.

We only need so many hedge-fund managers and lawyers. There’s real work to be done in the near future and not enough people to do it.

Good points....but I fear the GOP will go liberal globalist again. All the media darling GOPers are globalist...while Duncan Hunter, Tom Tancredo get little media attention.

Both parties are just so full of anti-American globalists

Jabs?! Surely they meant slap. And where’s the word “hissyfit”?

Too bad for Hitlary Edwards didn’t do anything while he was in the senate for her to attack.

Dear Mr. Edwards:

1) Free trade is a net positive for the economy
2) Trial lawyers and spurious law suits are a net negative for the economy
3) Unions have not done well for companies as a whole (see Detroit)

You’re welcome for this free educational moment.

Best Regards,

Just about every economist in the world.

“who else would she choose to be VP but Bill”

Can’t happen. Other than that, you’re right on and so is Edwards to an extent.

These trade agreements are strictly for corporate gain not, better wages or working conditions for workers. As a matter of fact the Corps have figured out, by cutting benefits and hiring mostly contract workers (and foreigners), they come out ahead on both ends of the deal.

Globalism is Satan’s own form of Capitalism.

Wrong-o on #1, just look at the trade deficit with China.
