Republicans Grow Skeptical On Free Trade

Grow Skeptical
On Free Trade
By JOHN HARWOOD
October 4, 2007; Page A1
WASHINGTON -- By a nearly two-to-one margin, Republican voters believe free trade is bad for the U.S. economy, a shift in opinion that mirrors Democratic views and suggests trade deals could face high hurdles under a new president.

you need a subscription to access it, but the exerpt I gave you speaks for itself

So, what is Hillary's position on free trade, of course we all know that wording in itself is a misnomer, the truth is what we want is FAIR TRADE, and by that I mean countries that don't under pay their employees, and have to abide by the same environmental and saftey laws that are the only moral way to live in this world

1. Wasn't it her husband that gave the US free trade?
What makes you think she would go for fair trade?

3. Do you believe Clinton came up with the idea?
I don't know how old you are or whether you have any historical perspective on the issue but you do need to do some research on the issue. Yes Clinton did sign NAFTA into law but he was facing a super majority which could have overriden his veto. Democrats abandoned the Party on this issue just as they did on the National Health Care issue.
