Edited on Fri Apr-11-08 05:52 PM by BuyingThyme
Actually, other than Hillary, is anybody in the Hillary campaign not actively lobbying in favor of the Colombian free trade deal?

Any info appreciated.

2. I'm trying to figure out what the Columbians have to trade. I think
it's mostly agricultural products:

1. Coffee

2. Cut flowers

3. Cocaine

3. Maria the woman who runs the canteen on the third floor doesn't like it
She is Venezuelan and doesn't like any Columbian.

6. Pete the graphics artist opposes it.
He is nihilistic and hes against everything.

In fact if you asked him if he is against opposing it he would say hes against that too.

8. Beatrice is on record as opposing it.
In 1974 she too home 'Enrique Crazy Feet from Columbia' from the Stardust Disco and in a weak moment let him stay the night.

He never called her again.

9. Brian who runs the supply room doesn't think its a good idea.
He got drunk once in Washington D.C. spent the night in the gutter and is against trading anything with the District of Columbia and doesn't want them to become a state either.

11. I see nothing wrong with friendly trade agreements with our neighbors south of the border.
Partnerships are preferable to some of the possible alternatives.

12. Just because Hillary SAYS she opposes the Columbian free trade deal doesn't
mean she actually does. I find it funny that the media just repeat "Hillary opposes the Columbian free trade deal" as if it is a fact.

13. Hillary is opposed to people who don't claim they don't look down on those who do
It's a bitter, elitist thing

14. Fast Eddie does not take anything free from Columbia
Edited on Fri Apr-11-08 07:14 PM by thevoiceofreason
But ever since they deported Juan Valdez, he's been against any deals with Columbia because his Folgers is now bitter as hell.
