CAFTA Will Help U.S. Economy
Today President Bush capped a truly momentous day for Republican business owners by signing the Central American Free Trade Agreement. (CAFTA). The agreement clears the way for the United States to trade vigorously with Central American nations.

“Everyone knows the American worker is inept and overpaid, but in the last few years I’ve noticed that even the illegal Mexicans in my plant are getting lazy. This trade agreement will clear the way for me to outsource the Mexicans with Guatemalans,” said a prominent Republican businessman who asked not to be identified.

CAFTA Will Unleash The American Economy
By RPC Staff

Today President Bush capped a truly momentous day for Republican business owners by signing the Central American Free Trade Agreement. (CAFTA). The agreement clears the way for the United States to trade vigorously with Central American nations.

“Everyone knows the American worker is inept and overpaid, but in the last few years I’ve noticed that even the illegal Mexicans in my plant are getting lazy. This trade agreement will clear the way for me to outsource the Mexicans with Guatemalans,” said a prominent Republican businessman who asked not to be identified.

By signing CAFTA, President Bush has opened up the lucrative markets of Central America. The average income of a family living in Central America is nearly $2 per day! Many United States businesses are foaming at the mouth to tap into this veritable gold mine and sell their products!

“CAFTA will release Republican business owners from all the red tape and regulation of doing business in the United States,” said a Chief Economist with Pat Robertson’s 700 Club. “9/11 changed everything, and we have to remain steady in our resolve and show that Republicans are truly the patriotic party. What could be more patriotic than American companies moving American jobs to Central America?” the 700 Club Economist went on to say.

11. No problem at all....
Heck, no prob at all. We Dems have to stick together!

It wasn't my intent to cause a stir, perhaps next time I should give notice that our site is a satire.

I hope some of you will offer up your feedback on the site, we're trying to keep improving, and I'd just like to what (if anything) you find funny or entertaining.....

14. I actually don't know how you do it Chris...
Between the User ID you use, and the titles of the posts you send.. it seems like you're always having to explain yourself.. :shrug:

Yeah.. I'd sure go with the "Warning - Satire" notice if I were you!

That - or change your name.. :evilgrin:

12. No harm done.
I know I don't mind folks who err on the side of alerting rather than holding off if they have a concern about a post or member. If an alert is off in some way, mods generally catch it after reading the post, the thread it resides in, and checking out any related links.

How goes it tonight?

:hi:

2. The only silver lining of CAFTA: We will get rid of Coleman and
other Bush followers who voted for it. Our farmers are more than angry and can't wait to vote them out.
