The Daily Progress editorial of April 13 takes Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi individually and the House Democrats collectively to task for their response to President Bush’s attempt to have Congress agree to a U.S.-Colombia Free Trade Agreement.
The editorial accused the Democrats of playing politics with the issue and changing the rules in the middle of the game.
It labeled the speaker’s decision to seek a rules change as “cynical in the extreme” and “corrupt.”
The editorial does not mention that the resolution passed fairly handily, 224-195, and our own Rep. Virgil Goode voted aye. Does he not, therefore, share in the newspaper’s opprobrium?
