When w* says that the best way to overcome the trade deficit..............
......is to "Buy American", does he realize that he's dissing some of the RNC's biggest contributors? Like Wal-Mart for example?

Or....is he just an idiot?

Discuss.

6. Woo hoo! Slavery was a superior form of labor!
John C. Calhoun was right! Let's bring it back! No pesky labor laws! No human rights! No wages!

Buy Americans today!

9. Buy United States
Isn't that what he actually said "Buy United States".

Honestly sometimes it's like the guy just got to our planet a few days ago.

3. Laughs ....
How did he choke THAT out ? ...

Sheeesh: what happened to outsourcing and how wonderful it is to buy products from foreign slave labor?

When is the last time the words 'Buy American' has slipped from the lips of a GOP politician ? ..

It's been many a year ....

Fucking hypocrites

8. Elks
The Elks Club, which is a predominately Repuke organization, just sent all its members a patriotic eagle pin. On the back of the card it came attached to was a sticker, "Made in China."
