what happened to the Colombia FTA?

4-11-08:  " A free-trade agreement with Colombia got swept away by Democratic presidential politics and concerns over economic woes, with the House on Thursday handing the Bush administration a stinging defeat on a deal that had been touted as crucial to U.S. interests.it got caught up in the public's sour mood on free trade amid a presidential campaign in which both Democratic candidates strongly rejected it. The agreement's cause also was hurt by the low popularity and lame-duck status of President Bush, its staunchest supporter, and U.S. organized labor concerns over violence against union members in Colombia.  Bush attempted to use a ''fast track'' provision that would have forced Congress to vote on the agreement within 90 legislative days.  But the move backfired after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi asked the House to strip the calendar provision, an unprecedented action in the 34 years fast track has existed."  read more here

Democratic Party and free trade?

 

In the past, the Democratic party was ok with trade:

 

"Indeed, the signature economic achievements of President Clinton (1993-2001) included the bipartisan passage (1993) of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the bipartisan vote (1994) to establish the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the bipartisan approval (2000) of permanent normal trade relations (PNTR) with China.  The crowning economic achievement of Vice President Al Gore, who became the 2000 Democratic presidential nominee, was his vigorous defense of NAFTA in a November 1993 televised debate with 1992 and 1996 protectionist presidential candidate Ross Perot. Mr. Gore countered Mr. Perot's repeated prediction of a "giant sucking sound" of U.S. jobs heading for Mexico by presenting him with a framed picture of Republican Congress members Reed Smoot and Willis Hawley, whose 1930 tariff increase helped to turn a major recession into the Great Depression.  The crowning economic achievement of Vice President Al Gore, who became the 2000 Democratic presidential nominee, was his vigorous defense of NAFTA in a November 1993 televised debate with 1992 and 1996 protectionist presidential candidate Ross Perot.
