54. Al Gore exposed Perot's private NAFTA monopoly on national television,
Perot thought it was good enough for him, just not the rest of the nation. Perot was never the same political force after that debate, had it been a fight they would've called it in the first round. That debate was consistent with Al Gore's championing opening up the Internet for the people while he was in Congress and as Vice-President, in both cases he was opposing monopoly. In the first case it was trade, in the second it was information, so in that sense you thank Al Gore for empowering you to promote your anti-Nafta message for all the world to see, unless of course you're a member of the corporate media.

One other point, Al Gore hasn't been in power since the very first days of 2000 and as such didn't have the opportunity to make any needed adjustments to NAFTA.
