        Actually, after having watch a lot of Lou Dobbs special reports on weeknights called "Exporting America" I'm wondering why isn't it possible to consider ways to discourage corporations from exporting jobs so we can keep our economy healthy, and keep more jobs for American workers??

          Because increasing tariffs are bad, m'kay?

          edit: One example is the huge tariffs on automobiles, so that we could keep automobile jobs in America. Of course, American cars became utter **** (because of lack of competition) and the Japanese kicked our butts so bad, the auto industry in Detroit still hasn't fully recovered

                  Bush endorsement?

                  He's more protectionist than his predecessor.

                    The sad part is he seems like he'll be more free trade than most of the Democratic challengers .

                      Ah yes, Shrub the free-trader. With his support of agrisubsidies and tariffs on a broad range of products including steel (granted, he backed down when faced with the prospect of the a trade war), lumber, and textiles, he's a regular Adam Smith.

                          Hey Ramo and Tass were the ones advocating status quo. Ask them why they like Bush not me.

                          And yes given the extremist speak of the candidates and the attempts to buy Union votes, I would rate the Dem challengers as even worse than Bush wrt free trade.

                            To Dean's credit, he has expressed opposition to most agrisubsidies. Of course that bastard might reneg on this position (as with steel) if the argument over agrisubsidies (http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...hreadid=105809 ) comes to a head. It's becoming very hard to support the guy.

                              Of course he will! No candidate will get rid of them... no candidate can hope to lose the MidWest and win the election!

                                Not to worry he'll win those southern votes with a good 'ole fashioned rebel flag waving. No need for ag subsidies.
