![]() "C J Campbell" wrote in message news:2007102210364375249-christophercampbell@hotmailcom... On 2007-10-21 22:44:53 -0700, Jim Logajan said: So, I do not see anyone being particularly pro-business right now. I prefer pro-free-enterprise over pro-business. Already had plenty of pro- big-business politicos in DC and freedom was getting its ass kicked. Fine. Pro-free-enterprise it is, then. Using what basis? Every candidate seems hung up either on the war in Iraq or on abortion or building a fence on the border, none of which is critical to financial growth. Every one of them has expressed trade protectionist views which range from disturbing to downright alarming. Whatever happened to "Free trade and free men!" which was the historical battle cry of the GOP? Who carries that banner today? Beats me. According to you the powerless party I've been throwing away my vote on also isn't what I thought it was. It certainly is not what it used to be. The party that preserved the Union, industrialized the North, abolished slavery, and opened the borders to trade Ummm, like Clinton's NAFTA? is now talking about protectionist trade barriers and reduced to fretting over stem cells and illegal aliens. The north was already industrialized by 1860...they were using tariffs to keep that advantage over south (i.e., forcing the south to "buy American" even then). |
