This is not new. There is a long-standing left-right anti-free trade coalition in the Congress, with parallels among advocates.

The left components may delude themselves as to their separateness and purity, but the fact remains.

I don't have a problem with it. You take votes where you can get them, as far as Congress goes. More to the point is the policy in question.

More great progressive moves by U.S. labor. This is from Jackie Calmes's WorkWeek column in yesterday's Wall Street Journal:


>GOP PROTECTIONIST and textile magnate Roger Milliken forms a new
>lobbying group, Attac, to oppose both "fast track" trade-negotiating
>power for Bush, and the president's bid to give trade preferences to
>Andean nations. Milliken wins support from the main textile union --
>more than 140,000 jobs were lost last year -- and recruits other
>industries. Attac plans a spring march on Washington.

Milliken is a Buchanan-supporting, union-busting reactionary - and UNITE! is doing a deal with him? Cute of him to call his group Attac, too.
