Well the reason you "thought" that is because you're obviously delusional and can't read well enough to tell one poster from another poster, I didn't post that ya moron.SHOCKING! You mean our statist, pro-protectionism President wants to "renegotiate" existing trade agreements, say it ain't so Joe..... I wonder what he'll do if the Mexicans and Canadians tell him to go bugger off?
But I thought you said a few posts earlier that:
NONE of the candidates in 2008 were AGAINST NAFTA.
I didn't say that. Yea, but you were thinking it so
WHISTLER, British Columbia (Reuters) - Canadian municipal leaders threatened to retaliate against the "Buy America" movement in the United States on Saturday, warning trade restrictions will hurt both countries' economies.
The Federation of Canadian Municipalities endorsed a controversial proposal to support communities that refuse to buy products from countries that put trade restrictions on products and services from Canada.
The measure is a response to a provision in the U.S. economic stimulus package passed by Congress in February that says public works projects should use iron, steel and other goods made in the United States.
The United States is Canada's largest trading partner, and Canadians have complained the restrictions will bar their companies from billions of dollars in business that they have previously had access to.
"This U.S. protectionist policy is hurting Canadian firms, costing Canadian jobs and damaging Canadian efforts to grow our economy in the midst of a worldwide recession," said Sherbrooke, Quebec, Mayor Jean Perrault, also president of the federation that represents cities and towns across Canada.
The municipal officials meeting at the federation's convention in Whistler, British Columbia, endorsed the measure despite complaints by Canadian trade officials.
Trade Minister Stockwell Day told the group on Friday that Ottawa was actively negotiating with Washington to get the "Buy American" restrictions removed.
The measure's supporters agreed to modify it slightly by suspending implementation for 120 days, in order to give Canadian trade officials and U.S. critics of the "Buy America" rules more time to work on the issue.

The people of Canadia can kiss my balls.
SHOCKING! You mean our statist, pro-protectionism President wants to "renegotiate" existing trade agreements, say it ain't so Joe..... I wonder what he'll do if the Mexicans and Canadians tell him to go bugger off?
Vote "present"?
Like I said boys, there may not be anything Obama can do about this problem.
But we know for sure that there is nothing the GOP would do about this problem.
One would but can't, the other won't. Maybe if the one who can't had more support???
But you support the one that won't.
So you must be pro NAFTA and anti American workers/middle class.
Checkmate.
So we should reward uncompetitive, ineffecient producers with taxpayer dollars just because they happen to be domestic producers?If you look at just the company's balance sheet than yes that is a logical statement but from the government's POV there is a line drawn around the nation. The money that changes hands inside the circle doesn't change the nations balance sheet except in titles.
Sealy...I'm on your side, I am a protectionist. More jobs for more American is a good thing for America...there is no downside.

It's a non-issue brought about (again) by a bunch of whiners--this time a small group of Canadians. We buy enough oil from Canada to balance out our trade with them. What else do they sell that we want anyway? Canadian beer?
why am I dumb? doyathink???
Don't let em cross the border? Obamalama's fault?
When I first met you, you were wrong but at least seemed to be rational. Now you are just soooo anti obama that its crazy.
Like the bitches/whores and ***** that were anti bill clinton. He did a good job but you never shut the fuck up about how everything was his fault.
Meanwhile he would have gotten in your panties with one shake of his thumb.
shows ya what you know DUmmie! I was a democwat back in them days,, and the republicans picked unmercifully on Clinton.. made me mad too,, til the DUMBF. knowing,, full well, that the Republicans were after him,, went right on ahead and did his Monica Thang.. that's the day I walked away from being a DUMMIE!

So you became a republican because of Clinton's dick policy?
Say what? do you have a credible source for such numbers or did you just yank them outta your rear end?If it means an immediate flood of another 100,000 unemployed people all suddenly collecting unemployment benefits and needing "welfare," we pay for it at the other end anyway.
I love the old "you people" phrase, it's a big red signal flare announcing "everything that follows is utter nonsense".You people
and yep, that flare was accurate again ...... please go back and point to where I blamed the workers, the unions or even management. I said inefficient producers, if you can read with comprehension at all you'll note that statement does not assign blame.are blaming the workers for the mistakes of management when you allege "rewarding inefficient producers." And puleeze don't blame it all on unions. They don't sign those contracts without the signature of management as well.
It would be nice ....
... if we could actually buy American ... but I don't get why Canada is being so pissy, they are part of this continent as well.
because,, cupcake,, we aren't Americans anymore! we are left and right.. it's their way or the high way,, case you ain't good and awake,, we live under one party rule, and the democrats just kicked the shit outta thousands of law abiding tax paying high earning Americans... I'm pulling for Canada..

So where were you during 7+ years of Republican our-way-or-the-highway? Drunk? Nevermind...
Don't sweat it elvis, that's just a tactic weaker minds take when they cannot defeat your arguements with reason or logic, they try to change the subject and make it personal. I'm guessing the next thing he'll wanna know is your religion so he can attempt to attack that instead of actually addressing the content of your posts.funny how you think you know my voting record, considering you keep guessing incorrectly.

Nah, she was pissed because no matter how hard she tried, Bill never noticed her:
do you find out where Obama is every day so you can face that direction when you worship him?

And then you go and post this reply to me?
POT, MEET KETTLE!!!
it was in response to you defending Obama for EXACTLY the same thing Bush would say regarding NAFTA. So which way are you facing today? Let me see if I can find out where Obama is so you can face EXACTLY that direction when you get on your knees.
