Texas Republican Switched Vote on CAFTA

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - For weeks, Rep. Robin Hayes, R-N.C., was colorfully adamant in his opposition to the Central American Free Trade Agreement.

But an hour into what is normally a 15-minute roll call _ and still short the votes needed to avoid handing President Bush an embarrassing defeat _ Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., told Hayes he could promise increased GOP attention to the challenges China poses to the domestic textile industry.

Hayes switched his vote, and the agreement passed 217-215.

No credibility left. All that is left is to change the name to the Politburo.

Votes are normally 15 minutes.
