Especially all those Republicans who pushed for NAFTA and voted for it. If 
you do a modicum of research on NAFTA, you will find that its genesis 
predates Clinton. NAFTA was in fact a Republican agenda item.

"In three separate ceremonies in the three capitals on Dec. 17, 1992, 
President Bush, Mexican President Salinas, and Canadian Prime Minister 
Mulroney signed the historic North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). 
The framework agreement proposed to eliminate restrictions on the flow of 
goods, services, and investment in North America. The House of 
Representatives approved NAFTA, by a vote of 234 to 200 on November 17, 
1993, and the Senate voted 60 to 38 for approval on November 20. It was 
signed into law by President Clinton on December 8, 1993, and took effect 
on January 1, 1994."
