[QUOTE="diesel96, post: 230787, member: 9859"] I'd like to clean up my statement to you. As a Democrat, I’m reluctant to admit that President Bush is merely continuing the trend that favors investors and the established wealthy at the expense of workers. He didn’t start the trend, but he’s certainly accentuating it. And I must also admit that Clinton/Gore contributed greatly to the problem when they stole this part of the Republican agenda and claimed it as their own. It’ll take courage and maybe the Democratic front runners will lose some of their financial supporters and make enemies in their own party—but it’s time for Democrats to say it out loud, and admit that THIS PART of the Clinton presidency along with Congress was a disaster for those who actually work for a living. By separating ourselves from the globalization insanity—in its present form—will Democrats truly demonstrate that they have the interests of working-class Americans at heart. I admit that statement was misleading and needed better clarification on my part it, that it was consistent with traditional Republican philosophy—and definitely not consistent with traditional Democrat philosophy. Democrats must pledge themselves to rescinding NAFTA, WTO and present Fast Track agreements, and make bilateral agreements with other nations that are clearly in the interests of American workers and the long-term interests of our country. The longer Democrats try to pretend that it never happened, the worse off they’ll be. And by clarifying the new Democratic position, we would force Republicans to expose to public scrutiny their true positions about globalization. [/QUOTE]
