and said the United States ``is wide open'' to buy goods from around the world.

Except for steel from Australia which He has decided to put huge tariffs on.

President Bush promised Sunday to push for free-trade policies for economically strapped Latin America and said the United States ``is wide open'' to buy goods from around the world.

This coming from a guy who is protecting steel to prop up his chances of reelection in '04.

Are there any Bushbots out there who can justify this? I doubt they will put down their jingoistic pom-poms long enough to consider it.

Party-on Bushbots...

Let's help make Central Americans as properous as possible so they'll stay home to make money instead of heading north.

Yeah, just like NAFTA has made Mexico so prosperous that they stay home instead of heading north. /sarcasm off.

"Over a quick lunch with the leaders of El Salvador, Belize..." Hey folks, have you ever read the reports written by Pete Brewton about Belize? Seems the entire country (almost) is owned by ONE person. His name is Walter Mischer, according to Brewton, Bush Sr. and Mischer ran a Mena style cocaine ring for years flying into a airstrip down in Texas. Of course the Establishment media has tried to smear Brewton with lies and inuendo, but they NEVER tried to debate what he was saying about the situation. For more info, read "The Mafia, the CIA, and George Bush".

Goodness where's your tinfoil hat, the aliens have you under their control.

Winding up a journey to Mexico, Peru and El Salvador, Bush also pledged to promote immigration policies that link workers from the region with American jobs.

What does this mean? Is Bush giving the green light for illegal aliens throughout Central and South America that they can work in the U.S. despite our immigration laws? Hey Bush do you have a problem with LINKING AMERICAN WORKERS TO AMERICAN JOBS? The Great Sellout of America continues unabated. In three years whatever is left of our sovereignty as nation will be gone. Impeachment Anyone?

In my eyes, this proposal makes Henry Hyde a traitor. And I believe in the death penalty for traitors. Remember when Hyde was involved in the Clinton Impeachment issue? Remember how Limbaugh would go on and on about how wonderful Hyde is? This is the kind of thing that made me first begin to distrust Limbaugh and then later to realize that he is just another Globalist New World Orderly.

Repeat after me, "economies of scale make globalism good for everyone", "wealthier trading partners can buy more of our goods and services", "economic growth leads to political stability and peace".

Let's help make Central America so prosperous at the expense of the American worker that the U.S. worker will start heading south.

You want your taxes raised (that is what a tariff is), told what to buy so union workers can donate money to the DNC and raise your taxes even more? I don't.

[sarcasm]

"Cheap" labor is a payoff to his campaign contributors.

[sarcasm]

Repeat after me, "economies of scale make globalism good for everyone", "wealthier trading partners can buy more of our goods and services", "economic growth leads to political stability and peace".

Please explain the current American trade deficit.

First They Came for the Jews

First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.
