Exporting violence and exploitation, Importing really cheap tube socks

"Rep. James McGovern, D-Mass., [discussing the House Democrat obstruction of a free-trade agreement with Columbia] cited figures that in the first 12 weeks of this year, 17 trade unionists in Colombia were assassinated. 'When it comes to issues like human rights, I refuse to be a cheap date,' he said."

McGovern went on to say that the President would at least have to buy him dinner and listen to his legislative dreams before he would be willing to undermine human rights. (Not really.)
