Free trade is not a conservative litmus test. I consider myself an implacable social conservative, but would never support a free trader- no matter how conservative- for public office. Free trade has been a curse on much of this country. I suggest you tell textile workers throughout the Upper South, furniture workers, steelworkers, and auto parts workers- among others- how great it is. Free trade is the curse of our small towns and cities. The proponents of free trade are the enemies of the common people.
