9. Passed by House 221 to 205
The US-Oman Free Trade Pact passed the House by a 221-205 margin. There were 22 slime-ball Democrats who voted for it, and thus voted against their constituents, middle class Americans and working Americans. Given that the margin of victory was only 16 votes, these turncoat Democrats turned the tide in favor of the Bush dictatorship.

The Dems who voted for it were Baird, Bean(OH), Boren, Case, Harman(CA), Jefferson(LA), Crowley, Cuellar, Davis(CA), Dicks, Edwards, Etheridge, Larsen(WA), Matheson, Meeks(NY), Moore(KS), Moran(VA), Skelton, Smith(WA), Snyder, Tanner, and Tauscher(CA).

It's also worth mentioning that, as usual, some Republicans voted against it and in favor of American workers. Both Ron Paul of Texas and Tom Tancredo of Colorado voted against it.

The economy needs balance between the "means of production" & "means of consumption."
