Democrats on a rampage: by Lloyd Briggs
Robert Novak reports that the Democrats, who have squealed loudly over the
supposedly unilateral foreign policy of George Bush, snubbed
one of the few allies we have left in Latin America. Colombian president
Alvaro Uribe returned to Bogota in shock as Democrats blocked trade agreements
over old human-rights issues, while Hugo Chavez rallies the other nations to
opposition against the US:
Colombia's president, Alvaro Uribe, returned to Bogota this week in a state
of shock. His three-day visit to Capitol Hill to win over Democrats in Congress
was described by one American supporter as "catastrophic." Colombian sources
said Uribe was stunned by the ferocity of his Democratic opponents, and Vice
President Francisco Santos publicly talked about cutting U.S.-Colombian ties.
Uribe got nothing from his meeting with House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi and other Democratic leaders. Military aid remains stalled, overall
assistance is reduced, and the vital U.S.-Colombian trade bill looks dead.
(There's
more)
The Dem's continue to expose themselves for the
socialist/anti-bush/america that they are. Daily fighting the administration on
Iraq and OUR countries safety while burning off good allies like Uribe.
You may recall that FARK, the 'resistance' was doing
everything they could to assassinate him and throw the elections out of control.
With 49 percent of votes counted, Uribe had 61 percent of the
ballot while his closest rival, Carlos Gaviria of the
socialist Polo Democratico Alternativo, had 23 percent,Course,
I guess that he is conservative would have nothing to do it.
Besides, everyone knows why the Democrats don't want to extend
trade agreements with the Colombians. The unions oppose free trade in this
hemisphere and want to roll back NAFTA and CAFTA.
It does have EVERYTHING to do with their power. They are
shameful and despicable.
Seems like every time these Dem's go to talk to the President
they must smell that "sulfur" their hero Chavez spoke
of when if fact it is their own.
