Free trade isn't "trade policy skewed to only benefit multinational corporations".

I'll illustrate with an example. I think people should also be able to benefit from free trade by for example being able to purchase their drugs from Canada if their prices are cheaper. The Bush administration and republicans oppose this. Wrongly in my opinion.

separation of powers

Which is what we have today, and something most Republicans are behind.

This administration has done more than most recent administrations to minimize their accountability to anyone. The best example is their demanding the right to wiretap without judicial oversight.

that the US should be a moral beacon for the rest of the world, by following international conventions such as the Geneva convention, the right of habeas corpus, etc.

Arguably we are following the Geneva conventions to the letter, and the writ of habeas corpus has almost never been applied to enemies captured overseas while at war.

You can try to argue to the contrary, but this administration has done tremendous damage to the US's image throughout the world.

protection of the environment

Again hardly something Republicans oppose, the real issue being what you do to protect the environment, to achieve what benefit, at what cost.

You're kidding, right?
