Victory for free trade
Completely missed this yesterday, but the House managed to sneak CAFTA through by the hair-thin margin of two votes (217-215 - 15 Democrats for, 27 Republicans against). That's a big victory for the Administration and for free-marketers everywhere. In the immortal words of Austin Powers: "Yay Capitalism!"
Of course, the usual left-wing action groups are up in arms over accusations of "bribery" and "abuse of power" because Republicans - *gasp* - worked the room during the vote. "Well, had I known I was sending a politician to Washington, I would have voted Democratic!"
