McCain: Town Hall 05/20/08

John McCain
Town Hall Meeting
Miami, FL 05/20/08

TRANSCRIPT:
JOHN MCCAIN: "We made progress toward this vision by expanding the benefits of free commerce through NAFTA, the Central American free trade agreement and our free trade agreements with Peru and Chile. But the progress is stalled. Our longstanding bipartisan commitment to hemispheric prosperity is crumbling. We see this most vividly in Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton's opposition to the free trade agreement with Colombia. The failure of the Congress to take up and approve this agreement is a reminder why 80% of American's think this country's on the wrong track. You know that Congress can find time to pass a pork laden Farm Bill but it can't stir itself to support a key ally and further American prosperity. The Colombian free trade agreement would benefit American workers and consumers."
