Buff, sorry, but protectionism is a conservative thing. Keeping things inside the country, keeping things to ourselves, that is all about "conservative" views of the world. Free trade is a "less government" thing, but Bush seems very intent on putting up more barriers, hiring more inspectors and taxmen, and fighting more losing battles at the WTO. Conservative indeed!
Liberal would be opening up trade and then extending benefits to workers who lose their jobs.
