Senator Riegle: "The Clintons rammed NAFTA down the throats of the American people..." (WOW!)

[reformist2]

“The Clintons rammed NAFTA down the throats of the American people with false promises,” he said, in reference to the North Atlantic Free Trade Agreement. “I think the Clintons as a team need to be held accountable.”

4. Of course. The first major betrayal of the party's roots

Now they ( Third-Way jerkweeds ) have spun it to a point where their own "conventional wisdom" treats the race to the bottom as if it were not only some unavoidable fact and status quo we better accept lest we be troglodytes, but some noble goal.

We might have been born yesterday, but it wasn't 10 minutes to midnight.

The fucking arrogance!

5. Remember: Hillary was for the TPP until she was against it.

She called it the "gold standard" for trade, until Bernie's anti-TPP stance was embarrassing to her.

It's part of the illness called the "third-way."

In this video, Obama makes a fool of himself trying to sell it. He does not make an actual argument for it. He just states that he believes in it, and we should trust him.

No thanks.

17. And she will STAY against it until she's elected

after which, she will be FOR it again.

She evolves.

6. Hillary did nothing of the sort

Her husband was president ....not her. Honestly so sick of this...as I look at it I sincerely doubt Bernie will be the candidate...thus all this right wing attacks against Hillary from Democrats are unsettling...you guys want president Cruze or Trump? Both our caniddates are good...we are lucky.

7. Everything that Bill did was

lobbied for and promoted by Hillary. She was part of the team.

8 years ago Hillary bragged about a vote for her also bringing Bill along creating a powerful team in the WH.

Finally, I'm getting sick of every comment about Hillary being called a right wing attack. The truth may hurt, but sometimes it's just the truth and has nothing to do with the right wing.

8. With Hillary you will get a repug victory. n/t

14. If Bernie isn't the nominee

It will be because Clinton apologists couldn't bring themselves to look at her record.

9. they did. It wasn't what the average person wanted at the time.

Nafta we don't Hafta.

11. Damn straight

And despite her claims now, she will support TPP. You can bank on it.

12. Turns out the ''giant sucking sound'' of jobs leaving for Mexico was right.

15. Yes sir! They lied. nt

16. As in "Keating Five banking corrupting scandal Senator Riegle?" LOL, desperate times, eh?

[obamanut2012]

18. Yes

But that doesn't count for some reason.

He's also a GOP lobbyist.

20. NAFTA fucked central americans also

Flooded them with cheap factory farm agricultural goods and sent their farmers north to work as indentured servants on our farm.

Change in that part of the trade agreement would probably do more to keep illegals out of the US than Trumps wall.

21. HillBill in the WH would bring forth TTIP

they live in the 1% universe.
