Clinton: I "Raised A Big Yellow Caution Flag" On Nafta

New York Times:

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton told a labor group here Tuesday that she "raised a big yellow caution flag" against the North American Free Trade Agreement while she was first lady, even though others say she actually promoted the trade deal.

And Gerry McEntee, president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, vouched for her opposition, telling the labor leaders that the day Nafta was approved, she called him and said, "We lost."

Oh no, Hillary!
There you go again ...
Don't you realize, we already caught your hands in the cookie jar!
And by the way, where are your tax returns?
You promised us to show them more than a week already ....

[rabprevent]

Hilary,
Liar, Liar, pants on fire!!! You pushed and supported NAFTA, you lie about Bosnia, you voted for a war to fall in line with the GW BS and by your own admission failed to read to paperwork and now you tell people in PA that you had issues with NAFTA, how convenient is that??
Where are your taxes??? STOP playing games and show the people in PA where the money came from, it is perhaps that these pardons that Bill provided before he left the white house help open the cash coffers??? We want to know, so does the people in PA.
PEOPLE IN PA, DEMAND THAT HILARY RELEASE HER TAXES
PEOPLE IN PA, DO NOT GET FOOLED BY LIES, IE.. BOSNIA, NAFTA AND THE WAR BY WHICH YOUR CHILDREN ARE DYING FOR
WHERE ARE YOUR TAXES HILARY????

"Liar, liar, pants on fire"? Is this the mentality of Obama supporters?

[ajax2]

Fool me twice shame on Bill.

ABC News,
Clinton attended NAFTA meetings to work for its passage. True statement. Period. End of story.

As we reported yesterday, on November 10, 1993, Clinton headlined a briefing and rah-rah session for businesswomen to support NAFTA.

And as the AP reports today, the recently released 11,000-plus pages of her First Lady "schedules show her holding at least five meetings in 1993 aimed at helping to win congressional approval of the deal."

I "Raised A Big Yellow Caution Flag" On Nafta It Wasn't My Fault Nobody Heard Me.

[skeptical1]

I remember the NAFTA fight well and Hillary is a liar. And, McEntee never cared about NAFTA because it doesn't affect his members. As for her call, was she hooked up to a lie detector Gerry? Maybe the both of you could submit to a test.

[otispfudpucker]

Hillary Clinton is proving it more and more each day that she is a pathological liar......­.
She just does not stop......­.......I for one do not want another liar in the White House.

[Cedman]

Pay no attention to what her WH schedules says and, ignore the video from Bosnia. just read her lips. Nixon in a pants suit!

[AnninCA]

Hillary's stance on NAFTA has been validated so often that it's clear that Obama's attack on this is nothing more than dirty politics.

Good that the union leaders remember the real deal.

[Micaanab]

Do you actually think the press is against Clinton when they call her on these lies. It's a huge conspiracy against Clinton I guess. They use computer graphics I guess to supper impose her face on these videos that prove she lies.

During the last debate Hillery said she support NAFTA when it first came out but has changed her position. Now she says she never approved of it. Haven't you been listening to her?

I would really like to here more from these Clinton supporters that actually feel Clinton is running a clean but tuff race and that feel it's Obama that is throwing cheap shots. I really need to understand what your reasoning is and where your information comes from. I watch MSNBC, FOX NEWS, CNN and what ever else I can get my hands on. I just don't see it.

Please, try to convert me to Clintonism. Give me some reason to consider her other than this vast amount of experience she says she has that she really can't prove.

[VOTER]

AnninCA can't help you out.

She is a Rove Troll posing as a Hillary Clinton supporter.

Check out her profile.

She has never written one word against Bush's War of Choice, Bush, Cheney, etc..

While Clinton and Obama supporters write the pros and cons about the

candidates, we, all, have plenty to say against BushCo and we do.

Not AnninCA.

She represents the GOP promoting Hillary because they fear Obama.

She is a TROLL.

[Nonamnesiac]

Why did she (and Obama) support the extension of NAFTA to Peru just a couple of months ago if she (they) oppose NAFTA? They are both lying loads who are willing to see union scale manufacturing jobs performed offshore at slave wages, many times by the same companies that performed them here.

TALES OF NAFTA

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YG00SWAqcvw

“I have been a critic of Nafta from the very beginning.­” ( HRC)
“I was one of the voices in the administration warning about NAFTA”. (HRC)

When questioned by Sen. Obama, through mailers sent out in Ohio, concerning claims Clinton made that she opposed NAFTA as first lady, HRC responded by claiming Obama used dirty tricks: “Shame on you, Barack Obama. It is time you ran a campaign consistent with your messages in public.”

NAFTA Facts:

1. White House documents reveal that HRC was actually a NAFTA supporter. Documents reveal she held at least FIVE strategy meetings to win Congressional NAFTA approval.

2. Hillary Clinton helped the white house block opposition to NAFTA from environmental & labor groups.

3. HRC was the featured speaker at a meeting on 11/10/93 where 120 women leaders were asked to lobby the senate for passage of NAFTA. Participants present at that meeting said: “ Her remarks were totally PRO-NAFTA.­” “There was no equivocation for her support for NAFTA at the time.”

Clinton now suggests David Gergen’s assertions guide questions concerning Clinton’s pro-NAFTA position. Gergen, former Clinton advisor, claims Clinton was “unenthusiastic” about NAFTA, despite Clinton’s five strategic meetings, keynote address on 11/10/93 giving PRO-NAFTA remarks, lobbying key leaders for pro-NAFTA support, and statements by meeting participants who attest to Clinton’s PRO-NAFTA position in aiding her husband in the passage of Nafta.

You are totally wrong on all counts.

[LAJonathan]

Are you sniffing glue?

[aceholiday]

[Micaanab]

A president needs to be able to lie. Clinton and Bush just suck at it.

[KMan1]

She lies with such ease....Ju­st like Bush.

[TiffShelton]

Just like Clinton.

[marinade]

Do we want a president who takes half measures?

[billrott]

I'm from Western PA. HIllary's bullshit on NAFTA won't wok this time around as it did in Ohio.

[Felicty]

SURE you did, Hillary.

Sure you did.

You also invented fire, too. Remember?

[Nonamnesiac]

While serving on the Walmart Board, Hillary, with Chelsea present, took it hostage while under fire, put up a yellow flag and demanded that her husband stop pushing for NAFTA. That was just before facing sniper fire in Bosnia.

And after supporting the extension of NAFTA to Peru a couple of months ago (along with Obama), she attacked NAFTA (along with Obama). What a couple of lying loads.
