So a person could argue that Democrats abandoned their 'principles' more
quickly than Republicans on this issue. Republicans wouldn't give a
Democratic President fast track authority but Democrats will give a
Republican President the same authority. I'll thank the spinless Democrats
before I thank Ralph. The people who voted are responsible for their
actions. Lets not blame unelected also-rans for their behaviour.
