Why does Edwards refer to a vote he never made? [View All]

[annagull]

He keeps saying he didn't vote for NAFTA, but his ass didn't abide anywhere they counted votes
He frequently talks about his opposition to the North American Free Trade Agreement, which Kerry supported, suggesting it has cost many U.S. jobs. Edwards wasn't in the Senate when NAFTA was passed in 1993.
And he rarely mentions a trade-liberalization measure he did vote for, as did Kerry -- a 2000 measure giving China elevated trade status. Far more U.S. jobs have been lost to China and other Asian nations than to Mexico or Canada, the countries covered by NAFTA, economists suggest.
