Reply #71: Dean at least recognizes there are problems with NAFTA [View All]

[KaraokeKarlton]

and being that the man is truly a "task master", you can be sure that he would make every effort to address those problems and do everything in his power to make NAFTA about FAIR trade instead of Free trade for others at the expense of US workers. Kerry doesn't even seem willing to admit there's a problem, let alone do anything to fix it. Kucinich has his heart in the right place, but taking a radical stand against NAFTA is just about as harmful as Kerry burying his head in the sand on the issue. We need someone who can look at all the facts, find where the problems are, and address them. That's what Dean does best. His physicians training comes in so handy in politics. It's not about emotions, favors or ideology, it's about facts and fixes with Dean, and that's the kind of leadership that accomplishes things. As much as Kucinich wants to help workers, he wouldn't get very far because none of that stuff can be changed at will by the president. It has to be haggled over with a lot of people who just aren't going to agree with him. A more pragmatic approach, like Dean's is the only one that stands a chance of working. :shrug:
