John Tanner and Jim Cooper, come get your whoopin'!

CAFTA "passed" 217-215 tonight (they never got to 218, so I don't know how the hell it "passed") and it passed with the support of John Tanner & Jim Cooper, "Democrats" of Tennessee.

Labor, I want you to remember this next year when they come begging for contributions. Remind them that they sold out the working man with this vote and tell them go ask the corporations who are shipping jobs to Panama and El Salvador for money. Tell them you only support REAL Democrats who vote the way Labor needs them to vote.

You know I'm not afraid to jump down Harold Ford's throat when he does something wrong, but he stood up tonight with the working men and women of America. Had John Tanner and Jim Cooper not sold them out, we could have beaten this bill, which will cause even more jobs to flow out of America at a rapid rate. Maybe we need to look for primary opposition for them.

UPDATE: David Sirota lists the 15 Democratic traitors with their election results, and most got at least 55% last year. However, I am STUNNED that one of the traitors was Arkansas 2nd District congressman Vic Snyder, who has been about the last progressive left in an elective office there. WTF??????

He's not used to actually speaking on behalf of the people who he actually represents. Too busy drinking kool-aid and eating Coon
(Pesky Fly and River City Know what I'm talking about). LOL
