The popular perception is that a trade agreement with Colombia would result in Colombian goods coming into the country, displacing American products and workers. Wrong. Most Colombian products, $9.2 billion in 2007, already pay no tariffs to enter America under the Andean Trade Preferences Act, enacted in 1991 and renewed again this year with Mrs. Clinton's support. Yet American products, valued at $8.6 billion in 2007, pay substantial tariffs to enter Colombia. That's not fair trade. American exporters and workers would be the main beneficiaries of the trade agreement, which would put U.S. and Colombian exports on a level playing field.

McCain seems intent on portraying himself as a saintly creature who is above the fray, so will he or anyone else ever get around to telling voters what's going on with his opponents.
