I've been watching Democratic opposition to CAFTA, and I am left with one question. We've been hearing from the left for years that because of our actions, the rest of the world, particularly the world's poor, hate us. So when they have the chance to 'right' that 'wrong' by extending free trade to Central America, something which would aide the economic development of those nations and raise their standards of livings, they stand in the way. Why? It seems they want to talk the talk, but not walk the walk.
Update
Willisms has a simple graph illustrating the extent to which Democrats have jumped off the free trade boat.
