Democrats Rile Canada, Mexico

Submitted by DonL, Feb 28, 2008 09:33

It is ironic indeed that the two candidates from the party that has spent the last eight years complaining that other allies around the world no longer like us, and that they, the Democrats, know how to fix this problem.

They haven't even gotten into the White house and they have already alientaed our closest neighbors with their trade war rhetoric to please their special interest groups - think unions folks.

The same party that harbors those union members who complain that NAFTA and big business have sent their jobs overseas is the same party that caters to enviro-worshippers, tort lawyers, regulation loving bureacrats and open borders fanatics that literally drive employers off shore in hopes of escaping the Democratic assualt on the very jobs only they can provide.

How for example, does the NEA increase teaching jobs when they aggresively support the killing of teacher's future clients -it's called abortion.

This entire philosphy of contradictory positions can be best described by my late neighbor who use to keep lots of cats as pets while and keeping bird feeders all over her yard. Some things just aren't compatable folks!
