You know what they say, close only counts in grenades and horseshoes. Looks like CAFTA passed with Democrat support. Just like NAFTA. Just like the Patriot Act. Just like the Welfare Reform Act. Just like the 1996 Telecommunications Act. Just like the recent curbs on personal bankruptcy.

You are defending a party which has little power and isn't even putting up a fight as the "party of opposition."

The left wing of capital. The Democrats. The party which is far to the right of similar parties around the world.

The party of losers Kerry, Gore, Dukakis, Mondale, McGovern...
