Clinton To Call For Trade Enforcement, Hard Line On China
Hillary Clinton will give a speech today before an Alliance for American Manufacturing forum in Pittsburgh, in which she she will call for greater government action to protect workers from unfair trade practices -- a sign that she might be feeling a need to shore up labor support in the wake of Mark Penn's work for the Colombia trade deal.
The speech will primary focus on China: "We need solutions to fix our trade laws, build a strong manufacturing base, and stand up to China and say that unsafe toys and unfair currency practices are unacceptable."

Where was her concern for human rights in China when she voted to normalize trade relations with China? Or when she was on the corporate board of Wal-Mart profiting off Chinese sweatshop labor?
Oh wait, she wasn't trying to pander for votes then...but now she cares...honest...

Who believes what she says about being tough on China when her own husband, Bill Clinton, has ties to a company in China that assisted in the crackdown on Tibetan dissidents?
Is it acceptable for Bill Clinton to accept money and favors in exchange for making positive speeches and using his personal influence to support governments and policies that his wife claims to oppose as she pursues the presidency?

Wow, I sure wish that some reporters would look into Hillary backing some 19 or more bills as single cosponsor [hiding] behind Schumer........ those bills requested favorable trade deals for goods manufacturers from the China/far east orbit, and some of them, if passed, would harm American manufacturers.

Where are protesters to call her to task for her husband's connections to regimes in Colombia and China? I sure as hell know reporters won't.

well, intentions are good, but she has lost credibility on this issue when Bill get from 100000 to 400000 dollars from Alibaba China...This goes with the $ 800 000 from Colombia...So I hope that the unions are well aware that the uses double language....and that whatever she will say is to get the votes...

Tell you what, Hill. First, you actually get rid of Mr. Colombian Trade Deal Mark Penn. I mean, really get rid of him, don't just play shell games with his role.
Second, have your husband give back all the money he's accepted to support these trade deals you claim to oppose.
Do that, and I'll believe what you say. Until then, well... money talks, and bullshit walks.

Dollar Bill's keeping every thin dime he recieved.
Feb 19, 2008: Hillary Clinton says "speeches don't put food on the table.
Bill's speeches sure as hell put food on their table! $51 Million Dollars worth.
Anyone think that Hillary knew she was err lying? or perhaps mis-spoke... ahhh surprised.
