Clinton changes her mind on nafta?
Ok i don't get it, Clinton has approved NAFTA and that cannot be disputed hillary's supporters, why does she keeps blasting NAFTA in her campaign? And then you have the uninformed clinton supporters cheering when she talks about NAFTA. Whats going on here, are people really that dumb?

1. Hillary needs the perception that she has opposed NAFTA.
This is a big issue in Ohio. Her problem is that she supported and praised NAFTA during the Clinton Presidency. She's making a big deal about the mailer, where the word 'boon' was used to describe her thinking on NAFTA but, there are many other accounts of her support of NAFTA and Obama is ready to set the record straight, if necessary, in the Ohio debate.

2. Clinton Is Usually On Both Sides Of Any Issue
And she's very good at getting away with it.

3. She has pro-NAFTA voting record in Senate
Unfortunately most people don't bother to check up on anything people say.

4. And did you hear the king when he spouted about our troops
Saying they should have more time to rest and all that wonderful stuff, trying to get the military vote....SAY THIS IS THE SAME GUY WHO WHEN SENATOR WEBB PROPOSED A BILL TO GIVE MORE TIME BETWEEN DEPLOYMENTS DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER TO SHOW UP.

But then the MSM didn't mention that when they printed his glowing phrases about his supporting the troops.

6. She's blasting corporations that export labor
and they're exploiting NAFTA. if companies couldn't pay Mexican workers less, NAFTA wouldn't be an issue. She's the one who can do something about it in the bureaucracy, so that's a strong argument for her.
