A price should be paid for hurting our children.

I'm hearing all the reports about toys contaminated with poisonous lead. The White House saying with billions of imports coming in it can't inspect everything. And toy makers are dodging and retailers are ignoring the issue - stocking shelves for the Christmas shopping season knowing their products can harm or even kill our children. The only way this madness will stop is for someone to be made accountable. Our government is dysfunctional.  Most of the products found dangerous and might even be categorized as lethal are made overseas. Primarily in Chinese sweatshops. Well, we're not going to change what happens in Communist China and time soon. The only realistic solution is to levy stiff fines on the toy manufacturers like Mattel and hold the CEOs criminally accountable. Then watch how fast the problem is fixed.

Democrat in 2008? I am confused. Wasn't it a Democrat that put the trade agreement together, with communist China?

We do not need a Democrat or Republican in 2008. WE NEED AN AMERICAN, SOMEONE WHO GIVES A DAMN ABOUT OUR COUNTRY AND NOT THEIR OWN POCKETS.
