CAFTA is not a political win for our party - all you need to do is look at the posts here, a decent percentage of republicans are against it. and certainly no Dems are coming over to the other side over CAFTA.

what the Bush SS "reform" going to be - removing the earnings cap limit, and raising the retirement age?

FR's Ms. Sunshine chimes in. It was a small minority that were against it, but they were very loud and combed every inch of the interent to find anti-CAFTA articles, a lot from leftist websites.

It's a win for Bush and that is what has you upset.

I disagree. This is a deal that needed to be done, for statutory reasons alone.

Trade deals benefit and strengthen the Republic. Pushing one through is always hard, and is a big political achievement.

This is significant. What is more significant is the numbers of rats who opposed.

"a decent percentage of republicans are against it"

Nah, the Republicans against it are an *indecent* percentage. :-)

CAFTA is good for the USA. The claims that free trade and free enterprise harms the economy have been proven false again and again... Anti-CAFTA was based on unfounded fear.
