Bill Clinton lies like a dog about his part in NAFTA

On the campaign trail for Hillary in Erie, Pa., he told some NAFTA whoppers. Here’s the biggest:

I tried to get labor and environmental standards in the agreement but I couldn’t because it was all negotiated when I got there.

Geez, let us count the ways that’s wrong.

First, you yourself promoted NAFTA, pushing wavering Congressional

Second, you yourself got labor (under NAFTA main page in Wiki) and environmental side accords passed.

I’m sure this is just the beginning of more than a month of NAFTA lies from both Clintons (as well as the Obama campaign) before the Pennsylvania primary.

Oh, while we’re in for a little Clinton-bashing, why didn’t you get Kyoto brought before Congress as a congressional-executive agreement rather than a treaty, or at least try to? As Wiki notes, only 6 percent of more than 16,000 international agreements the U.S. made from 1946-1999 were crafted as formal treaties subject to two-thirds approval by the Senate.

So, Slickster, don’t give us this NAFTA bullshit.
