pushing tariffs is a big deal breaker for many conservatives. Hunter is a patriot but he didn’t make a clear stand against the pork barrel politics.

Many freepers thought Fred was the true conservative. But they should have been against him because the one major bill he co-sponsored in the Senate was mccain-feingold.

Tariffs are a deal-breaker for some, but I would not say it is accurate to describe that group as “conservatives”. The US industrial power was built behind a wall of tariff protections.

LOL! Sorry, pal. I don't know any Conservatives that agree with you there.

It's the Globalist moderates and RINOs that subscribe to the new definition of "free trade". Lack of restraint will be the downfall of this free-for-all "capitalist" dream.

Reagan used tariffs- Just ask Harley Davidson how that worked out for them... Yet I don't recall any screaming ninnies moaning "protectionism" back then, do you?

Fred is no conservative. Fred is a moderate with Federalist tendencies, where he feels they should apply. McCain-Feingold should have been a big hairy clue.
