MCVet... Sounds like a great ideal BUT, WalMart''s shelves would be bare like stores in the USSR were at one time. Now its to late. Do you own any of the slimy Greedy CEO''''s stock in the U.S. stock market? If you do then you are also to blame.

VOTE FOR JEFFERSON,,, VOTE AGAINST FASCIST NAZI TERRORISLAM,,, VOTE GOP,,,

dnc are like john adams and want to give the jihadist their lunch money hoping they will leave us alone,,,

gop are like thomas jefferson and want to spend their lunch money on weapons and go kick the jihadists in their arses,,,

What Thomas Jefferson learned from the Muslim book of jihad,,,

Thomas Jefferson knew about fascist nazi islam,,, he killed plenty of them,,,

In 1786 Jefferson and John Adams went to negotiate with Tripoli''s envoy to London, Ambassador Sidi Haji Abdrahaman or (Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja). They asked him by what right he extorted money and took slaves. Jefferson reported to Secretary of State John Jay, and to the Congress:

The ambassador answered us that [the right] was founded on the Laws of the Prophet (Mohammed), that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have answered their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as prisoners, and that every Mussulman who should be slain in battle was sure to go to heaven.[1]

Nor is the United States the only country that finds itself with hardships. However, the long-term end result will justify the means.

Well help us out here Swastika Breath. You freaks sold us this "Free Trade" garbage on the basis that in it was all these High Paying great jobs. IF we allowed you freaks to exploit those poor third world workers, you told us, we''d see all these great new jobs in this nation. Our Standard of living, which our fathers had fought and died for, would go way up and we''d all be better for it. Now I do NOT know ONE, not ONE community in this nation that has NOT been hurt by our "Free Trade" AND our standard of living? Well when you freaks started with this "competition" against third world labor, it was the highest in the world. Today? It''s DEAD LAST amoung Industrialized Countries and headed toward the same THIRD WORLD that you greedy slime dogs exploited. It''s not possible for American Workers to compete against $2.00 per day and all those Great Jobs? They like you Fascist are just LIES!! I for one am for trashing these Trade Agreements and Re-Negotiating them with the INTEREST of the AMERICA WORKER in mind and NOT you slimy Greedy CEO''s. Personally I think the lot of you are nothing but traitors and should be SHOT!! Sieg Heil Bush!!

Please toldyouso21, quit commenting about free trade and suggestions of "cannabalizing our own country" because it just makes you sound foolish and certainly reactionist. Free trade is the key to success, but it must have balance and fairness. Free trade is sound policy for the United States because it enables properity and growth for underdeveloped nations, reaffirms the principles of freedom and furthers cooperation between nations. Of course it is not always easy, but it is necessary. Nor is the United States the only country that finds itself with hardships. However, the long-term end result will justify the means.

Torture will get you any kind of tale...anything you want to hear...Through torture we have Khalid Shiekh Mahommed, master mind of the 9-11 ''attack''. Next week we could have Khalid Shiekh Mahommed, the head of the Quaker Peace Activists, or King of the Martians.

The people who lead this nation are lying, murdering, theiving, smiley-faced scum who should just go down to the Potomac River and do the right thing...NOW!!

Your statement that Ron Paul does not support free trade as he believes they are "a threat to our independence as a nation," is very misleading. Ron Paul is the most pro free trade candidate from either party, but he opposes free trade agreements such as the WTO, CAFTA and NAFTA because they are government managed trade programs that are too restrictive and therefore not true free trade programs and are "a threat to our independence as a nation,". This reporting is disinformation.

Someone told me Thompson was asked about the Terri Schiavo case and Fred had no clue who they were talking about. Is that true?

Go Ron Paul! Did anyone else see a 114% increase in contributions the 3rd quarter? BTW, IF David Duke supports Ron Paul (and I don''t know he does), you can''t hold that against Dr. Paul. None of us have any control over who chooses to admire us. Ron is NOT a racist by any means. He often cites MLK and Gandhi as some of his greatest heroes, and he at least did attend the minority debate, unlike cross-dressing Giuliani, Flip-flop Romney, Remember I was Brave McCain, and Snorer Thompson.

The last thing this country needs is a career lobbyist for President. If you like Bu$h, you''ll love Thompson.

I said a month ago that this guy way WAAAYYY too lazy to pull off a 12 month long campaign. Cruising around in a red pickup and being a good ole boy might get you elected in TN, but it is never going to win a national campaign. And the suburban women who determine close elections aren''t voting for a guy with a trophy wife that looks like his granddaughter.

Sounds like Thompson is toast. After all those calls to have him enter the race, he sure didn''t take long to fizzle.

As for Ron Paul, one of his biggest supporters is former KKK leader David Duke! That should tell you all you need to know about that nut job!

Maybe you should research Ron Paul before you spout lies. Ron Paul believes in free trade - Cafta is not free trade. It is corporate regulated trade and all it does is infringe on our sovereignty. Ron Paul is probably the most pro-free trade of all the candidate. Get your facts straight.

Maybe what is going on with the Republican party is that its members are taking a good look at the protectionist policies in Europe, Japan, India and Asia and realizing that everyone protects their country''s workers and jobs except America and that here--money rules. Which means a lot for a few citizens and stock holders but is death to many employees and the country''s future and autonomy.

In the short run, outsourcing and insourcing is very profitable--but in the long run, it degrades or destroys not only the mfg base, but also the consumer base. After all, we may be the world''s largest consumer--but we can only go so far on credit cards. People who have been laid off due to outsourcing or are forced into low paid jobs or can''t get jobs due to insourcing don''t buy much. So in the end...free trade is not a win, win for all of America. Just for the greedy few. An American car costs almost twice as much as a domestic brand and there are many jobs that CANNOT be had by Americans and many businesses that cannot be started by Americans in many countries..but where are the protections for our own market? We are cannabalizing our own country and some of us are too greedy to realize this. I agree with the GOP on this one.
