Who supported nation building? Did Congress vote on that?
Between nation building in Afghanistan and Iraq and free trade for a global economy we're losing our jobs and our tax dollars are going to the middle east. If this isn't a policy to destroy America I'd like to know what would be a better one.

Why are we and our representatives allowing these policies? Clinton sold us down the river with NAFTA and now, knowing the reality of what that ill conceived policy has wrought, the Repuke majority is on its way to even more damage with CAFTA.

In spite of 300 billion dollars (and counting) going into Iraq, Americans seem unconcerned that their tax dollars are diverted to Iraq while the deficit continues to spiral out of control.

Hasn't * made it obvious when he beat the drum about Social Security reform that SS would be bankrupt when it takes in less than it pays out? By his standard our country is bankrupt now. And his solution is to destroy and rebuild Iraq?

I listened incredulously at McCain supporting CAFTA today by stating that the people in Central America were beginning to question the value of democracy and starting to believe that a strong leader would be better for their economy. So if we want Democracy to spread (freedom to be on the march) and avoid future dictatorships then we have to support CAFTA and that losing our sugar industry would be a small price to pay. He said if we didn't support CAFTA then we'd be giving the textile business to China ... like they haven't sold us down the river already to China.

Personally I believe that these policies are treasonous and we should prosecute the lot of them!
