Find me a perfect politician. They don’t exist.

Right now Cruz is far and away our best choice. The current criticism of him is based on the fact that he believes in free trade. So do I. So did Reagan. And Milton Freidman. I happen to like that company better than the Dems and the Unions.

Unfortunately many if not most Freepers do not believe in anything approaching Free Trade. The think it costs us jobs and needs to be severely restricted. Perhaps it does. But I doubt it.

That knife cuts both ways. Look at Apple. Apple creates many jobs in China but many in the U.S. as well. Less free trade and a less successful Apple. Is that a good thing? Should we pass laws that tell Apple that they can’t export manufacturing jobs? I don’t think so.

Did you happen to notice that China has committed a massive act of war against the United States?

Free trade with the enemy. Is that a good thing?

I saw a thread last night complaining about Steve King supporting trade because he wants to sell corn overseas. LOL

Apparently, if we hoard American produced goods and tax imports at 30 to 40 percent we're all going to become fabulously wealthy.......somehow.

If the veil were to be removed the truth could be that SOME of them are not upset with the Free Trade deal, that’s a ploy, the truth of the matter could be some other issue that Ted Cruz is against, like gay marriage, welcoming with opens arms into the GOP queers into the party.

Ted’s convictions and him wearing faith on his sleeve does not appeal to some atheist.

They could be just trying to find a chink in his armor to bring him down and use the Free Trade as a wedge issue.
