    Oh no, not "convicted of bigotry" nonsense again. I did not know bigotry was a crime. Of course in the eyes of those who practice the liberal religion it is a sin, but only as defined by their holiest of holies....

    Notice how libs push their ideology much like those who pedal religion door to door. In the past few years liberals have replaced the most religious people when it comes to preaching thier gospel. Instead of calling those who disagree with them sinners they call them "racists" or "bigots". The tolerant left is not so tolerant anymore.

    Be sure not to pass up the Historic chance to vote for the one of the best outsourcers of our time. The media will airbrush every photo of her so it is more "presidential".

    Not quite sure which one your talking, the one who has all his stuff made in China and imports workers to construct his buildings or the other one who is married to Wall Street and Corporations? Oh, you said she.

    Most partisans or supporters of either candidate for some reason think if you vote third party it is an automatic vote for the candidate they do not support. I have heard that here time and time again. From Republicans, a vote for Johnson is a vote for Clinton, from Democrats, a vote for Johnson is a vote for Trump.

    No it isn't. My vote for Johnson and other who will vote for him or Jill Stein, Green Party or any other third party candidate is a vote against the two bottom of the barrel dregs each of the two major parties nominated. It is a vote against them and a vote for Johnson. Come January 20th, 2017 if you didn't want to be looking a President Hillary Clinton, you should have nominated someone who had a chance of beating her, someone independents could get behind. But no you nominate someone who is trusted less, who is viewed more negatively, who acts like a 5th grade school yard bully calling people names instead of presidential.

    This election comes down to one the majority of Americans do not want. They don't want to choose between two candidates they dislike in the 60% range. Well, if Hillary wins, look in the mirror. There will be the person responsible who insisted on Trump being the GOP nominee. I could of and would have supported any other Republican Candidate against Clinton and so to would most Americans who are not avid Clinton supporters. You saw that in all the polls taken during the primaries pitting Republican candidates matched up against Clinton. Only one candidate lost almost all the time to her, the one you nominated.

    I'm OK with Trump. I know his ties are made in China like everyone else's. I'm not asking him to lose money. However, given the Clinton's open borders trade laws it is impossible to compete in textiles if you pay workers reasonable wages. How do you expect to compete on a manufacturing basis against goods manufactured by slaves?

    The loss of textiles began a long time before NAFTA and the WTO. I am old enough to remember when South Carolina was the textile capital of the U.S. Now almost everything you buy is made overseas. Clothes most in Asia someplace, same with electronics. Heck, Pittsburgh and Birmingham were the steel capitals of the world.

    What happened happened long before all these free trade deals. One of the reasons is things just became cheaper to make oversea even with all the transportation costs. The quality of goods improved overseas, that was one area back when I grew up the U.S. was number one. Now a lot of things are made to break. Not last. I suppose our mandates and regulations thrust upon manufactures also had a lot to do with driving up the cost for U.S.goods besides wages.

    Probably what happened is globalization. Most countries made their own goods and sold them within their borders when I grew up. That was certainly the case here.

    I'm not the one who came into the thread making unsupported claims.

    My claims have been fully supported and documented in this thread. Your ignorance of that fact has been noted.

    Things became cheaper overseas because many cultures didn't outlaw slavery, and child labor. We used to put tariffs on goods like these. Sometimes the only way to maintain a living wage is to pay a little more.

    Yes, up and until NAFTA and the WTO we did use tariffs to counter what we thought or determined were unfair trade practices. No doubt about it. The question now though is how many of us, Americans are willing to pay more for our goods and service so they will have the American brand on them? Not that many. Do I want to pay 50 dollars for a watch made here or one for 20 dollars made in Korea or some other place? Just an example.

    We have become use to all these cheaper priced goods from overseas. We readily accept them. Most of us are all in favor of tariffs or boycotting goods from a country deemed to utilize slave or child labor. That is until those goods from that country start costing us more. Then we howl and scream.

    No...your claims were for one thing; your documentation was for something else.

    Negative. You either need a reading comp course or you need reread the thread. You are wrong but still willing to troll. I guess your fingers need the exercise.

    Trying to correct your inaccuracies isn't trolling, it's doing god's work.
