I said big government, not just social programs. I want an end to all unnecessary spending, not just some of it.

You mean like voting for a Libertarian because he voted against NAFTA?

I don't remember saying my vote is based on that alone. What is your point?

Actually I wouldn't call someone retarded for falling for it, since it is quite the slight of hand the free-traitors have pulled off.

The free-traitors? What the hell are you talking about?
Quote:
Job destroying euphamisms? Like "Global Market"? Or "Free Trade"? Sounds like something Bush would say. Or "We must stay competative"?

Competition doesn't destroy jobs, it gives them to people who want them more. In any case, I didn't say Bush is wrong about everything he does. So I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish by drawing vague similarities in imagined sound bytes.

Is it moral integrity to give American jobs to the Communist Chinese,

It's moral integrity to not force employers to discriminate when giving jobs (in this case, by only giving them to Americans). What the employers do depends on THEIR moral compass. In any case, why do you assume they are "American" jobs? Just because Americans held them first?
Quote:
where the Chinese government can come in and tax their exports to build a military and American investors then have the gall to come back and say, "You are all obsolete Americans." This is no different then the slave owner selling cotton at a marked up price, and living like a glutton off the massive profits. There is no integrity involved. Its all about cheap foreign labor.

I support the right of employers to not be forced to give jobs to the incompetent just because they live in the US. If you consider it immoral, so be it.

The US Constitution gives Congress the right to pass tariffs, there is nothing authoritarian about the Constitution.

ROFL. Good argument.
The problem with that is your argument assumes the premise that there is no authoritarian piece of legislation within the Constitution, which is something you have not proven.
