| 32. The two votes under current discussion are CAFTA and the bankrupcy |
|
bill. I live in NC, which last I checked was in the South, and let me clear on this. CAFTA is about as popular here as Saddam. Two Republican Congressmem voted for that turkey and one didn't vote but is claiming to have tried to vote no. The rest of the delegation, including Walter Jones who is slightly to the left of Attila the Hun, voted no. On what planet is that centrist?
The bankrupcy bill had no support out side of the credit card industry. I bet you couldn't find even ten Southerners who didn't work for a bank or cc company who actually favored that bill to the point it would enter into his or her Congressional vote.

No, they're "corporatists". There's a big difference between the two. |

Only the "purists" are unhappy with CAFTA and the bankruptcy bill? |

The DLC is a Corporate Lobby hiding behind the label "CENTRISM" |
