>> When a person says he is in favor of free trade but then wants to use lots of tariffs, he is a moron << so following your mentally deficient logic i guess when a person like ronald reagan spoke of wanting peace while he kept on building up our defenses he was a moron. after all only a moron would build weapons of mass destruction that could harm people under the guise of seeking peace. >> When a person says he wants free trade that is fair by removing government interference, but then says he would use tariffs as a tool to negotiate everything with everyone in every country in the world on a product-by-product basis with hundreds of millions of products (not to mention services) and never have an agreement that bundles all of this, and never provides any basis for settling disputes -- then he is a moron << once again i guess ronald reagan is a moron, because that's exactly what he did. ronald reagan spoke eloquently about free trade, but when push came to shove he either used tariffs or import quotas or the threat of them to protect our interests. i guess "your" president g.w. bush that you claim to support is also a "moron", because he has spoke about the benefits and need of free-trade, but is considering tariffs to protect the steel industry. >> except that you are a terrorist sympathizer as well, and that does not sit well with me. << well you are an unamerican, unpatriotic, communist sympathizing scumbag. it is clear for all to see. you hope that americans are the ones poisoning their fellow citizens with anthrax, rather than terrorists. you are the antipathy of patriotism. are you even a u.s. citizen? i hope not, because you are a disgrace to the idea of what it means to be an american.

remember when you said this? >> When a person says he is in favor of free trade but then wants to use lots of tariffs, he is a moron. << "We're a free-trading nation, and in order to remain a free-trading nation, we must enforce the law. And that's exactly what I did. I decided that imports were severely affecting our industry, an important industry, in a negative impact, and therefore provide temporary relief so that the industry could restructure itself." --George W Bush Bush Imposes Hefty Steel Tariffs story.news.yahoo.com
