Edwards Talks Trade In Iowa
Samantha Hayes
Reporting
(CBS4) Democratic presidential contender John Edwards continues to separate himself from front running candidates Sen. Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama.
Speaking to a crowd of about 300 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Monday Edwards took a shot at former President Clinton, arguing that he allowed corporate insiders to shape the 1993 North American Free Trade Agreement that has cost U.S. jobs.
Edward's complaints about the former president is by many as a defiant move meant to highlight rival Hillary Rodham Clinton's relationship with special interests.
It comes two days after Clinton refused Edwards' challenge to stop taking campaign donations from lobbyists, saying many represent good causes.
"It's time that the president stood up and fought for American workers," Edwards told a crowd of about 300 people at a union hall in Cedar Rapids. "It's time to have a president that always puts the interests of the American people first."
While Edwards' speech did not mention the name Clinton, the object of his complaint was obvious. Edwards criticized the presidential leadership during the 1993 passage of NAFTA, which was started by President George H.W. Bush and pushed through by Clinton. He said the trade agreement between the United States, Mexico and Canada was "written by insiders in all three countries."
Edwards said the policies of President George W. Bush have devastated towns and communities all across America, but "this is not just his doing."
"For far too long, presidents from both parties have entered into trade agreements, agreements like NAFTA, promising that they would create millions of new jobs and enrich communities," he said. "Instead, too many of these agreements have cost jobs and devastated towns and communities across this country."
Edwards' remarks come a day before he will share a stage with Hillary Clinton and other Democratic candidates at an AFL-CIO forum in Chicago in which the White House hopefuls will make their appeal to labor.
Meanwhile, the Republican presidential contenders for the most part remain united on leaving U.S. troops in Iraq as part of the war on terror. Senator John McCain predicted a battle in the Senate in September over funding the Iraq war. He says Republicans will prevail because Americans "understand the consequences of failure."
Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani criticized Democrats for never using the term "Islamic terrorists," which he says is "taking political correctness to extreme."
On abortion, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney defended his past support for pro-choice policies. Romney says he gets tired of people who act "holier than thou because they've been pro-life longer" than he has.
And like father, like daughter in everything except politics maybe.
The daughter of Republican hopeful Rudy Giuliani is apparently an Obama supporter. An on-line profile indicated that she belonged to Barack Obama's Facebook group. The 17-year-old left the group Monday after the online magazine Slate started asking about it.
