The Above Linkblogs Might Contain "Borrowed" links.
Linkblogs do not substantially contribute traffic to my blog that I can discover. They all go offsite, and are often accessed from my blog. It's possible to access them from the RSS according to my settings. Still, even if I were to get ads clicking on a linkblog from the RSS won't drive more people to my blog than otherwise because they leave my resources. (Note to self, do more posts, less LBs with sources I find). I explain because I sometimes borrow links from people at Twitter, and often forget who put them up. (To fellow Twitterers: If you have a link to your blog, I will point it there, but Twitter, being impermanent, cannot hold your link for people to discover from there. I only 'borrow' them to get news out to as many people as I can who might not have seen the reports and videos found by the smart people I follow at Twitter or find in search rooms.RSS Add-Me
Tracking down House of Representative traitors over CAFTA
posted 10-29-06
I'm trying to find confirmation on at least some of the candidates that promised their constituents to stand firm against CAFTA and then voted for the pact or otherwise suddenly changed issues before or after elections.
Robin Hayes of North Carolina actually won an award for runner up for most spineless in House for his sudden decision to back the job draining measure.
Okay I admit it. I can't find all the Republicans that promised to vote against CAFTA to compare to the chart of those who voted for it.
But to those of you who do not like CAFTA anyone who voted for it is not a good Representative for you. So here's the entire list (in table below).
You might know if your Representative was posing as an opponent to CAFTA so you can see if they changed their stripes when push came to shove on this.
You can see I left the few Democrats that voted for CAFTA in too. They are the ones in italic print. The one Independent in the House would have been in bold, but he voted with the vast majority of Democrats against CAFTA. You should know your Representative already especially during an election season. If there are duplicate last names this Congressional Record table indicates which state tjhe the House member is representing.
Tell you family and friends about the CAFTA vote if they are against CAFTA they should know who is not representing them well.
and here are the two weasles who allowed CAFTA to pass without voting (The result was 217 to 215, so these votes were important)

North Carolina's Charles Taylor, by not voting did nothing to help stop CAFTA. (see Congressional Record on CAFTA vote) He is one of two House members to take the weasel way and not vote at all. It doesn't even matter which side Taylor said he was on before the vote, but I assume he said he was against it and that's why he took the easy way out.In the week before the trade vote, Hayes told the Observer that he was "flat-out, completely, horizontally opposed to CAFTA."
With Hayes' support, CAFTA passed in the House 217-215
