3. Just wait a few minutes ...
Someone will be around shortly to point out that almost every Republican voted for it ... that the Republicans are worse ... and how dare you criticize Democrats in Congress instead of beating up on the Republicans who voted for it?

You must be a troll. blah blah blah

4. They may be happy with 40% of a party, but I sure as Hell ain't!
And that's pretty much what we've got. Less than half a political party, even with the majority.

It makes me so damn sick.

5. Does anyone even know where Peru is?
They are good people with a lot of natural resources and one of our few friends in South America. Of course my wife's Peruvian and we want to import silver jewelry. So I'm all for it.

8. With Kucinich, I'll at least listen to his rationale for voting against it.
Not all "free trade" agreements should be voted for, like NAFTA.
