So. Enough people walked off from the republicans last month to let the dems win. You can not make any changes in policy if you are not in power and free trade is a losing issue.
As I stated back in Post #9, I have yet to see any evidence that "free trade" was one of the major reasons why "enough people walked off from the Republicans to let the Dems win" last month.
I'd also add that despite all the partisan ranting over this issue in recent years, free trade is here to stay for a very long time regardless of which political party holds power in Washington -- mainly for the reason I gave in my previous post. If the U.S. were to implement the kind of protectionist policies that Ms. Schlafly is advocating in this article and people like Lou Dobbs have advocated in the past, the middle class in this country would last about two weeks before they threw all incumbent politicians out of office and demanded a return to "the good old days of free trade."
