>> Keyes supports free trade << who doesn't? saying you're for free trade is like saying you're for peace. obviously there are different ways in accomplishing this goal. some believe in peace through strength, some believe in utilateral disarmament. the whole point is he doesn't put free trade above all else. he and others like myself only support "free" trade when it's fair trade. of course it's hardly fair these days--look at our $400 billion+ trade deficits >> and rejects protectionism << this is mostly just semantics. he is in favor of tariffs as a tool to negotiate better trade deals and as a way to equalize the unfair advantage foreign companies have over american companies. i call this protectionism--he may not like the word. just like everything else, you can take it too far. conservatives like tax cuts--but they don't believe in NO taxes--we have to fund a govt. liberals like more taxes, but they don't support 100% taxes--nobody would work. all he is saying is he doesn't think you should carry tariffs too far, which is totally reasonable. at any rate, by today's standards alan keyes is anything but a "free trader".
