Clinton signed NAFTA into law.  More jobs were outsourced from 1993 to 2000 than 2001 to 2006.\n\nThe DNC has outsourced their "get out the vote" call centers and are paying overseas companies to troll blogs and message boards.\n\nThe Democrats don't care about the middle class, they care about middle class tax dollars.

The above answer is true, but does not fully answer your question.\n\nIn Canada, the federal Conservative part lead by Stephen Harper just tool power from the Liberals who had been in power for twelve years.

There are no checks and balances at this time with all three branch's of government controlled by the repuglican party, that is what is the most troubling part of it. They have raped this country long enough. Democrats never took advantage like these clowns have.

Democratic Party.   We did not start an illeagel war, spy on domestic Americans, shred the First Amendment Rights, or torture prisoners. \nWe don't suscribe to a belief that the ends justify the means.

The last time the unemployment rate was around 4% was when Clinton was in office, toward the end of his last term. If you look at the numbers you will notice an interesting trend; the rate tends to fluctuate not based on who is president, but which party controls congress. When Clinton was president, the rate was very high when Democrats controlled congress, then the Republicans took over and the unemployment rate dropped significantly. When Bush took office, Democrats took over Congress and the rate skyrocketed. When Republicans regained control, the unemployment rate came back under control.

A change in the power structure. When Democrats take control of either the House or Senate, it will be a whole new ballgame.

We did do things like this until the democrats took over.  Once Clinton was in office, he put an end to these programs.  The reason is simple, he is a communist sympathizer and the communists in south american get most of their money from the drug trade.  Since that time, they have taken over much of south america.  If Bush wasn't such a weak president with no support for conservative issues, he would have re-instituted those programs.  He didn't. The result is the communist alliance of Venezuela, Cuba and Bolivia.  They are allying themselves with Iran in a clearly hostile manner and are positioning themselves to take over Mexican politics.  All funded with drug money.

federal republic \n\nThe nation continues to make an impressive recovery. Ongoing economic and social concerns include low real wages, underemployment for a large segment of the population, inequitable income distribution, and few advancement opportunities for the largely Amerindian population in the impoverished southern states. Elections held in July 2000 marked the first time since the 1910 Mexican Revolution that the opposition defeated the party in government, the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). Vicente FOX of the National Action Party (PAN) was sworn in on 1 December 2000 as the first chief executive elected in free and fair elections.

Truman and he was a democrat.  That was a long time ago, before Vietnam.  It's interesting how times have changed things.  Most conservatives today would be considered left wing fanatics by Turmans standards.  Liberals today would seem to be from a different planet all together.

The Republicans control Congress, and the Democrats are spineless.\n\nMaybe the Dems will grow some balls after they win back the Congress in November.
