The liberals have come up with
a clever way of ratifying dangerous treaties, which now require a two-thirds
vote (67) to pass in the Senate. They will introduce them as legislation,
requiring only a majority vote to pass. The model for this new approach
is the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which President
Bush mistakenly refers to as a treaty.
Democrats Hillary Clinton and
Barack Obama have been portrayed by our media as being opposed to it.
In fact, they want to make NAFTA stronger
Bush Administration has been trying to pressure
the Senate into ratifying the Law of the Sea Treaty. It now awaits full
Senate action.
The Bush Administration's
support for the unconstitutional Clinton approach could easily backfire
on conservatives if the Democrats take the White House and hold Congress
in the fall elections.
It would make a good issue
for John McCain, except for the fact that he's for NAFTA and most
of the U.N. treaty agenda
