Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry said yesterday he will oppose the Central American Free Trade Agreement, marking the first time he will have voted against a free-trade agreement after 20 years of supporting them in Congress.

It really is sad the number of hoops a Dim must jump through to run for president. They must claim to be:

1. Pro-abortion
2. Anti-free trade
3. Anti-2nd ammendment
4. Anti-US forces, really anti US
5. Pro-Afrimative Action
6. Pro-radical environmentalism
7. Anti any possible change in Social Security any proposed changes can not be evaluated only used for political purposes.

etc. And this is not a matter of winning the election, this is a matter of even getting the nomination. There are no exception made. Look at Kerry this time on trade and Lieberman the last time afirmative action.
