Within the last week, Democrats have surrendered to Bush on funding the occupation of Iraq and free trade.
With friends like these who needs enemies.

so funding the troops and free trade is bad? (Im not sure what you were refering to in detail on the free trade because I havent heard anything. Im just assuming based on the way you are stating it that you are objecting to free trade in and of itself)
The Democrats made a backroom deal with the Bush Regime on NAFTA. The deal is so secret, the leadership hasn't even released the language to the Democrats in the House; probably because they completely ignored the concerns of American workers and soldout to Big Business.
And, yes. Free trade is bad. American workers can't compete with workers who'll work for pennies an hour. American business can't compete with foreign business who don't have to worry about funding employee healthcare or protecting the environment. We need fair trade not free trade.

You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.
This is from David Sirota's blog at Working for Change.
In a stunning interview with reporters, House Democratic leaders began bragging that the reason they kept the deal secret in the first place - and perhaps the reason the legislative text of the deal remains secret - is because they feared the concessions they were making to K Street lobbyists, the Bush administration and top congressional GOP leaders would elicit opposition from the majority of their own congressional Democratic colleagues.

Wrong. Free trade is good. It works to make all economies involved more efficient. That means that manufacturing jobs will likely be exported to foreign countries; it also means that industries which cannot be exported, such as the service industry, will expand.
And as far as funding employee health care, such a decision should be made by the employer, not the government. No American company should be forced to provide health benefits to any of its employees.
Liberty is the greatest measure of equality.
