I didn't forget it, but NAFTA just illustrates the differences between the
parties.  Clinton aside, two-thirds of Congressional Democrats voted
AGAINST NAFTA.  As I often note, all the folks who talk about "parties"
conveniently like to just talk about Clinton when it suits them, since it
allows them to ignore the radically different voting records of most
Democrats versus the average voting records of most Republicans.

Fast track was defeated by the Democrats under Clinton, but the GOP
Congress with Bush's support pushed it through.
