It's already served its purpose.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

The Democrats engaged in a bit of race baiting when a Dubai company wanted to take over port operations from a Brit company. Claimed all muslims are terrorists or some silly crap like that.Originally posted by Doddler

For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator RubioComment

Nonsense. That's just BAM. Democrats are less inclined to protectionism then ever because the power of the big unions is lower then ever.Originally posted by Drake Tungsten

In the Senate vote slightly more than half the Democrats voted nay. The yeh's were 34 Republican and 27 Democrats.
From the outside, America's trade partners get nervous when Democrats are calling the shots.(\__/)

Clinton never the less signed it and even campaigned for it once he was in office. To get elected politicians will say just about anything but you need to watch what they do in office to see what they really believe.Originally posted by notyoueither

And what do/did Democrats believe? Over half of them in the Senate were against NAFTA even after Clinton got side agreements regarding the environment and labour.Originally posted by Oerdin

The Democrats simply don't have good 'cred' on this topic outside of the US.(\__/)

As a party they do want freer trade (after all corporate donations are where the big money is these days) but they tend to want to qualify it. Qualify it by tying it to improvements in labor laws, improvements in environmental practices, etc... Yes, there are still the paleo-dems who are still trying to recreate the 1960's but they're a minority.
You have to remember in 1994 there were a lot more manufacturing jobs and union members then now so unions had more pull plus two years before Ross Perot had spent millions whipping people into a lathered frenzy of fear about Mexico stealing our jobs unless we created more protectionist barriers to trade. I believe you'll find the climate very different in 2007 compared to 1994 and even in 1994 Clinton still lobbied for NAFTA and got it passed. At the time it was even sold as an example of bipartisanship since Clinton crossed the aisle to get the thing passed.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment
