Thank you to the GOP members who stood up to the pressure from the Protectionists.
Go Cafta! Go Free Trade! Thank you GOP for standing up and voting 'YEA' to smart economic policy.

Interesting to see that my Representative, Scott Garrett (R-NJ) voted no on this. I was not educated on this topic enough to come down on either side, but considering that Garrett (who I've only disagreed with a handful of times) voted against this combined with certain freepers who supported this, I'm leaning towards concluding that CAFTA is a bad thing.

I have work to do in 2008 with mine. Doolittle voted yes. He is also on the immigration caucus.

Are you being sarcastic? I think CAFTA is a crappy idea. Why is this "smart economic police?"
To: cripplecreek
Mine, too. When I called yesterday afternoon to inquire as to how Forbes intended to vote, I was told by his staff that they do not give that info out over the phone.

"Sold out the middle class"--does that mean he voted no?
Free trade is the future. I'm glad that some people in Washington have the cojones to recognize that and push it forward. The 'RATs are the ones looking backward.

Agree.. There are people here, who along with the Dems, would prefer to still be going to work in a horse & buggy.

Who do you think is better acquainted with all the facts of the issue and has more of an impact on a Congressman's vote, a constituent or President Bush? CAFTA was going to pass and no representative's vote could be spared. Doolittle may have some constituents disagree, but you should try to look on this as him "taking one for the team" so representatives in more threatened districts didn't have to vote "yes" in his place.
Or would you rather we had no CAFTA and had Speaker Pelosi?
To: HostileTerritory
Free trade is the future. Free trade only works between free economies. When only one side has a free economy, that side will get screwed. The market, given a disparity in standards of living, will seek the lowest common point. Ours will go down, theirs will go up. Great deal if you're living in the Dominican Republic (or, at least are in the ruling elite), bad news if you're trying to sell to them.

The CAFTA & NAFTA agreements seem to just syphon jobs from the U.S. to other countries. Some of us live by the "skin of our teeth" waiting to see if our jobs will be exported. Just because the jobs/business goes elsewhere does not mean the product will be better...just chintzier.
To: cripplecreek
I'm not happy with my rep's vote on this either.
