How do you know when a Democrat is lying? Their lips are moving:
Barack Obama has ratcheted up his attacks on NAFTA, but a senior member of his campaign team told a Canadian official not to take his criticisms seriously, CTV News has learned.
Both Obama and Hillary Clinton have been critical of the long-standing North American Free Trade Agreement over the course of the Democratic primaries, saying that the deal has cost U.S. workers’ jobs.
Within the last month, a top staff member for Obama’s campaign telephoned Michael Wilson, Canada’s ambassador to the United States, and warned him that Obama would speak out against NAFTA, according to Canadian sources.
The staff member reassured Wilson that the criticisms would only be campaign rhetoric, and should not be taken at face value.
In other words, they’re saying whatever they need to say to win votes, but have no intention of following up on their promises. Just like the ‘06 Democrat Congress. Anyone surprised?

And what does this tell you about Democrats? It tells you that they recognize that their constituents are wrong! They’ll tell their constituents they’ll do “A” or “B,” but when it comes to actually doing “A” or “B,” they know it would be a bad idea so they don’t do it.
