Clinton - NAFTA

[emilyg]

(CBS)From CBS News' Fernando Suarez:

PHILADELPHIA -- AFSCME president Gerry McEntee said today that he knows Hillary Clinton has been against NAFTA from the start, saying the former First Lady called him back in the '90s to tell him “we lost.”

“I know that she spoke against it, she opposed it,” McEntee said about NAFTA.

“Maybe she does not even remember this,” McEntee continued. “The day that they got the votes, Hillary Clinton called me and I was in California at a union meeting. She said, and this really sums it up, she said ‘We lost. We lost, the votes were there for NAFTA.’ So anybody who tries to hang it around her neck, is hanging it around the wrong neck.”

Labor unions are a significant part of the voting bloc in Pennsylvania and one of the key issues facing these workers is NAFTA, a trade agreement implemented by former President Clinton that has drawn criticism for taking American jobs overseas.

1. Snipergate pretty much destroyed any credibility she had.

Since most of her experience is verified by her own claims and others. Fact is she didn't speak up when it mattered, just like when she voted for the Iraq War and the Kyle-Lieberman amendment.

2. Not to mention the documents that proved she DID, in fact, support NAFTA.

Yawn. Clintbots are getting desperate.

5. This is a point in favor of Hillary

We heard about the organizer of the 1993 NAFTA meeting asserting that Hillary was mainly opposed to NAFTA. This is yet another witness that comes forward in her favor. Good for her.
