As John McCain prepares to fly to Colombia — the country where standing up for your rights at work can get you killed — to pledge his fealty to the doctrine of “free” trade, a new poll from CNN shows that a majority of Americans disagree with him:
According to the CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll, 51 percent of Americans view foreign trade as a threat to the economy — the first time in a CNN poll that a majority of Americans report holding negative views on free trade.
That compares with only 35 percent of Americans who felt free trade posed a threat to the economy in 2000, and 48 percent who felt it was a threat in 2006.
Now, only four in 10 Americans say free trade presents an opportunity for economic growth.

May I use this article in a blog? I have been overwhelmed on Myspace with nothing but negative, EMPTY BS for months. I keep asking "my friends" to explain to me what McCain is going to do for OUR COUNTRY? I have YET to receive a response from ANY of them! Oh, but how they can dish out the most ridiculous bulletins about Mr. Obama. The retoric and false information runs wild and I would be honored to HELP them out by putting some REAL information out there!
