Oh please, if you've voted democrat you've voted for NAFTA signers in the last 5-6 presidential elections so spare me the crying about sending jobs out of the country. In fact, you're going to be voting for another NAFTA supporter in a year or so if Hillary wins the nomination.

It's as galling to hear this whining if it were a republican voter complaining that it was the democrats that sent jobs out of the country.

It's all right there in the voting record and you still are this badly uninformed? Oh well.

So, this is the way it REALLY went, doesn't sound democrat to me:

"Following diplomatic negotiations dating back to 1990 among the three nations, U.S. President George H. W. Bush, Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and Mexican President Carlos Salinas, each responsible for spearheading and promoting the agreement, ceremonially signed the agreement in their respective capitals on December 17, 1992"

If he were a dictator you'd never post negative comments twice on the Internet. You'd be arrested and if need be shot for the first time!

It wasn't a law yet....you know what a law is right?

Quote:
Clinton signed it into law on December 8, 1993; the agreement went into effect on January 1, 1994.[7][8] Clinton, while signing the NAFTA bill, stated that "NAFTA means jobs. American jobs, and good-paying American jobs. If I didn't believe that, I wouldn't support this agreement.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_...rade_Agreement

If you check the voting record it had broad bi-partisan support including Biden and Kerry along with tons of reps and dems.

Wow. Um....just wow.....but gotta rep ya for originality of confusion.

NAFTA means Jobs! Good Jobs! American Jobs!

Just like the Trans-Pacific agreement, right?

You won't have to. Obie will call for martial law pretty soon and disolve parliment and congress. Then he will declare himself President for Life. Anyone who dares to thwart him will be executed by his ISIS allies, then rest of us will go to work camps.

And yes, we will all be shot for posting. Your ip is logged and you are already on "the list."

Wolverines!
