House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's rejection of the Colombia free-trade agreement, by changing House rules in a way that may have destroyed the fast track procedure by which the United States has secured free-trade agreements for more than four decades, seems to me to be the one truly shameful act of this Congress. This rejection of an ally, the third largest country in Latin America, a nation that is threatened by authoritarian and terrorist opponents, and has nonetheless succeeded in strengthening human rights and stimulating economic growth, is as disgusting as anything I've seen Congress do. John McCain hailed Colombia's action; Barack Obama, an opponent of the Colombia trade agreement, unblushingly chimed in a bit later. I wonder how he reconciles this with his message on the Colombia trade pact, summed up aptly in the title of a Washington Post editorial, "Drop Dead, Colombia."
With a McCain presidency we will have free trade with our ally Colombia. We have information that FARC is communicating with Hugo Chavez with the capture of the FARC laptop. The Democrats are destroying our country by paralyzing our ability to obtain agreements between allies. They are driven to destroy what we have gained to obtain the presidency. The dems are so sad they will ruin the goodness of the USA to get the power they want.
