No one except a complete opposite of Harry could think that!!!!!! Former President Clinton had a pretty sweet consulting deal with Dubai too. I see little difference between the Bushes and the Clintons. Shhhhhhh... You are not supposed to mention that! |

Aren't republicans FOR free trade? Or is that with certain qualifiers? I guess about as much as all democrats are for socialism... |

You really are a delusional moron. -- Whatever moral rules you have proposed, abide by them as they were laws, and as if you would be guilty of impiety by violating any of them, *unless* you are a conservative Republican office holder or minister. If that is your position in life, then anything goes. |

Lu lives in a part of Florida that until recently paid teachers with master's degrees $28,000 a year, and where a very special bit of corruption between the local cops and infrastructure contractors has "off duty" cops snoozing in the local government's patrol cars at the sites "protecting" highway construction sites. |

It is no accident that WalMart doubled it's market share in the 90s. They are from Bentonville Arkansas, a suburb of Little Rock. Aren't republicans FOR free trade? Or is that with certain qualifiers? I don't have a problem with free trade, The real question was if this was "fair" trade. We pile environmental, labor and safety laws on our corporations (not a bad idea) without imposing those on the competition (the bad part), then wonder why they kick our ass. Ah, so then it's not free trade if we put a bunch of restrictions on it, not is it? If the cost of environmental and safety laws make us non-competitive in a certain sector, it's time to re-invent. BTW this trend still continues. All of the upcoming "carbon" and existing CFC protocols that favor countries like China and Mexico who are largely exempt. So? First of all that's the personification of "free trade". I take it you really don't want free trade at all, you just don't want anyone in the U.S. bound by any rules. Tell me, what ARE Mexico and China's environmental, safety and labor laws anyway? Don't say they are non-existent because that's not true. Do you have a problem with the unions getting "busted" because all the jobs are in China now? Nope. |
