To quote, “If NAFTA passes,” Gore declared, “Norm Cohen has plans right now to shut that factory in Mexico down and move 150 jobs back to Charlotte, North Carolina.”

—Norm Cohen has plans to . . .
—Not, Al Gore will . . .

So, finally after all these debates we can finally declare the myth that Al Gore lied about jobs related to NAFTA to be BUSTED !

Nice Spin! A real classic!

Let me know when you want to get back to the subject . . .

Like I said, get off the conpsiracy sites and actually read some science.

Since Obama and Hillary both voted for the Oman trade deal knowing they use slave and child labor. BTW Jordan is about the same.

Trading on terror to profit a few

Please read this article and ask yourself if you think the unfair trade deals are helping workers and small business. This is the behavior that both Parties have turned a blind eye to while illegal immigrants’ flood our Country and middle class Americans are left competing with overseas slaves or illegal immigrants. Please tell me why you would vote for any candidate from either Party that supports trade deals like this based on exploiting people for gains of corporate giants? Instead of looking for an apology why would not anyone first speak out about trade deals like this that promote slave labor?

LATIMES-The factories have engaged in the worst kinds of human rights and worker abuses, including 48-hour shifts without sleep, violent physical and psychological abuse and workers brought from foreign countries with their passports held by employers, often receiving no pay for their work. Wal-Mart also is a member of the U.S.-Middle East Free Trade Coalition.

American companies seeking cheap, easy labor are not likely to meet much opposition from the Omani government. The State Department has reported Oman for human trafficking and forced labor abuses. Eighty-five percent of the private-sector workforce in Oman is made up of foreign “guest workers” who are granted limited rights. And the U.S.-Oman Free Trade Agreement does not even include the meager labor standards of the Jordan agreement.

At a moment when people across the Middle East reveal in poll after poll a deep distrust of the United States, and particularly of its actions in the region, it seems ill-advised to advance trade agreements that provide clear rewards to a handful of U.S. corporations but few discernible benefits to either the people of the Middle East or the people of the United States.

John,
I answered you question. I said using your own standard both Gore and Perot lied. Are you going to take Perot to task for lying?

Maybe you were right; here’s someone who says there is evidence of slave labor abroad:
