I- along with a few others - have been warning for many years that all these job exporting ideas would lead us to voting for a socialist/Marxist.
As a conservative and a capitalist, I tend to think long term. These individuals who support the present free trade policies - while claiming to be capitalists - are merely opportunists with a very short outlook.
Ex-texan and I along with many others were regularly hammered as we knew these policies (and GW Bush's stupidity) would get us a leftist President. And you know it - but can't bring yourself to admit Zero is one. Correct?
Warning: Baited trap!
The reason folks were being made fun of (for example, I note that you pinged ex-Texan, who once regaled me and others with portions of Marxist Monthly, or some such nonsense), is that I do not agree that conservatives should move to the left in order to placate or otherwise pander to the "working class." Reagan didn't do it, and we shouldn't either.
(Mojave will be by shortly to explain otherwise about Reagan. Revised history, and all that).
