Yes that is why so much political (and monetary) capital is put into free trade agreements. Just to punish the unions and the environmentalists. All this money is spent on lobbyists by these large corporations, not to help the bottom line, or benefit their shareholders, but just to make some people a little more miserable. Yes, Bush has limited political capital, and not much time left in his administration to effect his legacy but he is not going to use that time on stuff he wants to accomplish and his legacy, he is going to use it just for sour grapes…..I think this may be the dumbest statement I have heard all year.
