Free Trade in the Primaries

I think this is the issue where Democrats win or lose the General Election based on their authentic stance on the issue.

I used to be a big supporter of free trade but times have changed. The issue is more complicated than it seemed back in 1992 when Al Gore and Ross Perot argued about it here...

"Bush sr had NAFTA drafted and planed to make it into law in his second term. He lost but the next puppet came in and signed it. Then Bush jr finished the deal by opening up the mortgage train."

I wish America had listened to you, Ross Perot. You were right.
