Spanky, seems to me this is something you'd want to applaud, not piss on. I don't even think a union rep wrote this one.

I am not pissing on it. I love the DLC. They are the voice of sanity in the Democrat party. But T-Rex was trying to claim that the Dems had legitimate reasons to vote against this bill (Ellen Tauscher) in paticular. I think this letter shows that the only reason why the normally pro-free trade Dems are thinking about voting against it is not because the bill is bad, it is just because they don't like the Bush administration and they don't like siding with the administration regardless of what the bill says. If the DLC supports it I don't see how one can argue that it is a bad bill or that it is rigged so much against the environment that the Democrats can't support it. In other words, Ellen Taucher's reason for voting against the bill is really just sout grapes.
