O.T. More interesting stuff

IN THE PAST decade, the AFL-CIO has lobbied Congress on three major issues of any importance to union members: (1) Oppose the North American Free Trade Agreement; (2) Oppose permanent normal trade relations with China; (3) Support drilling for oil in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. That's correct, and not only that, in two of the three cases you cite, in my opinion, the AFL-CIO was on the side of the angels: opposition to NAFTA and opposition to full permanent trade relations with the PRC. On the other hand, I do understand why the AFL supported the oil drilling measures. The beauty of the Democratic side of the spectrum is that we Democrats agree on some issues, and disagree on others, but we don't hold go off the deep end into the Democratic version of the krazy konservatism that has the Republican Party in such a visegrip. |
