so, how many years you think it'll take to change the lawS ?
If a majority of voters support a change in the law and the President and Congress does not, it takes less than 8 years to remove any offending politician. If the voters support a change in the law and the President and Congress support the same, it would take weeks or months to change the law. If neither the public or the politicians support changing a law...it ain't gonna happen.
At this time Congress and the President support CAFTA. I can only speculate about public opinion but logic leads me to believe few voters are strongly for or against CAFTA. For most people it is not an issue that effects their vote, because they are oblivious to CAFTA. Economics, and trade law are just concepts that don't touch them physically like crime, and war.
As the economy is good, and prices are stable I believe the cost of living is getting better for most voters. Because of this, most voters are willing to give Dubya the benefit of the doubt and support his decision.
