Care to comment on Hillary saying that the worth of NAFTA has been proven to one audience and saying something different to another?

I have been clear on this after I decided to support Obama.
I don’t trust Hillary. She has proven over and over to be dishonest and unprincipled.

Thanks to all of you for helping Hillary and the GOP.

Republicans Gearing Up To Attack Obama
By Eric Kleefeld - February 18, 2008, 8:58AM
After spending at least the past year planning on how they’d run against Hillary Clinton in 2008, Republican operatives are now busy putting together a plan of attack against Barack Obama now that he’s currently out front for the Democrats.

Among their points against him, according to a plan laid out at an RNC retreat:

• He is not ready to be commander in chief.

• Taking a page from the Hillary Clinton campaign, he had a “pattern of voting ‘present’” in the Illinois legislature.

• The Republicans “can be confident in a campaign about issues,” seemingly in contrast to his mere rhetoric.

• He is inexperienced.

“Forgetting who will be the easiest to beat,” said Rep. Ken Calvert (R-CA), “I’ve got to tell you, a President Hillary doesn’t scare me nearly as much as a President Obama.”

I suspect that if random quotes taken from either the Orange Satan or Freeper-ville and impartial judges were asked to pick which was from the Orange Satan or from Freeper-ville — that the postings would be randomly assigned to either group of nutcakes.

MyDD has an exchange on NAFTA — the Orange Satan squad parrots their messiah’s b.s. about Senator Clinton’s position on NAFTA and the — Clinton folks are explaining that Obama is the one who is really free trade and pro-NAFTA.

Then I come here and Susan presents a detailed account of Senator Clinton’s positions and votes on NAFTA and the Obamabot known as CREE — does the usual copy-paste junk — proving what exactly?

The 25% right and 25% left use identical tactics — and have no critical thinking ability. My old Sociology prof was correct — “the political extremes meet in the middle.”

I have strong suspicions about how he would have voted too. Did Durbin vote against? In that case, he might have gone along with the senior Durbin. But otherwise, he’s gone along to get along.

He also bailed on the MoveOn vote — even though he was THERE at the Senate at the time — while Hillary Clinton stuck her neck out to vote to support MoveOn against the Republican attack. (’course, MoveOn rewards her with a kick in the rear.)

Then there’s how he bailed on the official Democratic candidate Ned Lamont, and helped Lieberman. And considers Lieberman his MENTOR! (Why don’t people pay attention to these facts. … sigh.)

Davis the poor schumck that the Clinton’s send out everything they need someone to front for them? That Lanny Davis?

The one who looked like a fool when the truth came out Monica?

I can’t believe that poor guy even shows his face.

Slime? How deep of a hole do you want to dig for your candidate?

She supported NAFTA. Even said (@ 21:34 on recording) NAFTA has proven its worth!

Co-host Juan Gonzalez takes issue with Hillary Clinton’s statement that NAFTA has “proven its worth”, pointing out that, contrary to the administration’s promises, thus far under NAFTA more American jobs have been lost than gained, and Gonzalez feels that labor unions should hold the Clinton administration accountable for this.

Hillary even laughs when she was asked about NAFTA.

I didn’t laugh when Ross Perot (who I was supporting) was showing those charts and warning us about these trade agreements.
We’re supposed to trust Hillary now?
I also don’t recall Hillary or Bill speaking up when some of us were beaten and gassed in Seattle when we opposed those deals that she and Bill supported.

Hillary also supported China joining the WTO.

2000: Hillary Clinton Claimed China’s Entry Into The World Trade Organization Would Be Good For American Workers Despite The Already Massive Trade Deficit With China. “I know many people, here in Western New York in particularly and Erie Country, are concerned about this vote, and I share the concerns that many of my supporters in organized labor have expressed to me, because I do think we have to make sure that we improve labor rights, we improve environmental standards in our bilateral and our multilateral trade agreements. But on balance, I’ve looked at this, I’ve studied it, I think it is in the interests of America and American workers that we provide the option for China to go into the WTO. Right now, we are trading with China. We have a huge trade deficit with China. The agreement that has been negotiated between our two countries would open their markets to us in a way that they are not yet open, and in fact, for many large manufactured products, like automobiles, we would have the first chance to really get in and compete in that marketplace. I also think it’s not just an issue of trade. I believe it’s a security consideration. I want to do everything we can to persuade China to improve its human rights record, to be sure that it doesn’t in any way interfere with its neighbors or with Taiwan. I don’t think you gain that by isolating China. I think we must work out as best we can a relationship in trade, and a very firm statement and commitment to improving human rights and try to make as much progress as possible.” [CNN, 4/26/2000]

2000: Hillary Clinton Supported Permanent Normal Trade Relations (PNTR) For China, Claimed It Would Create Leverage. “Senate candidate Hillary Clinton said Thursday she supported permanent normal trade relations for China, but slammed Beijing’s restrictive birthrate policies. Clinton said she favored ‘engagement’ with China through trade as a way to ‘have whatever influence we can have’ on Beijing to change its dismal record on human rights, labor law and the environment. ‘I understand the challenges they are facing with population, minorities and the move from the countryside into the cities,’ Clinton said Thursday. ‘But I would hope that they would improve their human rights record, and that includes reproductive rights,’ she added.” [Agence France Presse, 5/25/00]

Does Hillary vote so that people can donate to Bill’s library?

Voted YES on free trade agreement with Oman. (Jun 2006)

I guess never having done any real legislative work, never proposing a brand new way of restructuring the federal government of the United States, those Rove (Bama) boys aren’t sure how to approach this issue, with her, other than the usual backyard TPing…

And it shows…
