Writer scolds Gephardt for making Clinton comparisons...

[wyldwolf]

... Gephardt often led the fight against Clinton's opening to the world, and still seems proud of that fact, which makes his attempts to associate himself with Clinton's results a bit strange. Former Governor Howard Dean, an early supporter of NAFTA, has made protectionism a hallmark of his campaign, recklessly threatening to bolt from the regional trade bloc and even the WTO. And though he sounded more moderate last week, Senator John Kerry, a free-trade stalwart in the past, has talked on the campaign trail of "reviewing" the nation's trade deals, and of opposing the Free Trade Area of the Americas, proposed, of course, by Clinton.
