During which debate did Kucinich say, "I'm a protectionist?" |
|
I'm trying to find a transcript, but there have been so many debates.
During which debate did Kucinich say something like:
When I tell people I want to withdraw from NAFTA adn the WTO, they say, "Oh, you're one of those protectionists."
Damn right I'm a protectionist.

1. Dennis is the only one who will protect jobs by withdrawing from NAFTA |
|
and the WTO. Anyone try calling AOL support lately? I think all those jobs have been outsourced to India.

but he said something like it on the MacNeil Lehrer News Hour on PBS.
This is not the exact quote, but this is how I remember it:
Question from person in restraunt: Rep. Kucinich, are you a protectionist?
Kucinich: I don't know, but I know I want to protect American jobs. If that is the definition for a protectionist, then so be it. I don't really care whether I am a protectionist or not. All I know is that I want to protect American jobs.
And the restraunt goes wild

4. Iowa I believe. He said it over and over, very pointedly. |
|
I was quite proud of him.
"I'm a protectionist..."
