Rev Moon tells Congress to pass Colombia trade agreement..
And since he was crowned the "Messiah" in the Senate building I guess they have to obey their "father".

Crunch time on Colombia trade

In the last four months, Congress has done two good things on trade: adopting the Peru Trade Promotion Agreement and extending Andean Trade preferences through the end of this year.

These were necessary actions. But for them to be sufficient, Congress must take a third step. That step, offering new markets for U.S. farmers, workers and manufacturers, has become critical for Colombia in the face of new belligerence from Venezuela's Hugo Chavez. It is time to approve the Trade Promotion Agreement with Colombia.

For 17 years, we have allowed duty-free entry of most Colombian goods into the United States under the Andean preference program that Congress has just renewed (93 percent of their exports to us are now duty-free.) Unfortunately, during those 17 years, U.S. goods have faced steep tariffs in Colombia.

The Andean preference program's 17 years have not been continuous. In 2002, the program lapsed for more than six months, creating havoc for Andean exporters to the United States. Eventually, we resolved those problems.

Why our past party chairs wouldn't do that is a mystery.

Were THEY being tapped and blackmailed, too?

3. Big, Obvious
Edited on Sun Mar-23-08 11:00 AM by StClone
Grover Nordquist will always call for less (or no) taxes and Government oversight. Yet he is on CNN's LAte Edition calling for just that. It's Big! IT's Obvious! Deregulation has lead to disaster at the hands of Nordquist and the rest of the Reagan Revolution Republicans.

Yet the Republicans from Reagan to McCain are not roundly beaten over the head with a huge iron hammer with the fact they have policies that fail. They fail because their number one goal is garnering for them and their ilk and dress it all up in emotional appeals to the confused public.

Multitudes of their polices fail from ideas on War to the Environment. Yet they continue in discussion as if they are viable and solid theories, rules, laws or concepts that merit continued existence. It's big and obvious that our media needs to start knocking the old Conservative dogma down but never will because most are scared and owned by the very benefactors of the big, obvious junk ideas.
