Duncan Hunter and Tom Tancredo are outspoken about the issue and are very Conservative Republicans.
What I think I'm seeing is the Democrats talking about jobs in the hopes of turning this into a union issue. Pelosi, Gephardt, and Graham have begun to tap into this discontent.
Duncan Hunter and Tom Tancredo speak about national security. Tancredo is very concerned about the borders not being protected. Duncan Hunter's bill to require DoD to purchase 65% American goods is going to fail, posted here:

I think Conservatives should take the National Security argument to push forward the economic agenda. Otherwise, we will sound like unionists and play to Dick Gephardt's union tune. And, we certainly don't want unions, we want to avoid their comeback.
We just want America back, it is being stolen from us just as sure as our technology is being stolen by Red China.

The politicians you name have unclean hands. Unions, although they stand to be big losers now that offshoring has become a tidal wave, have plenty to do with how our industry originally became so uncompetitive, inviting competition the way a tethered goat invites wolves.

I just hope the right number of voters will know the answer when some not-too-scummy politician presents it. I'd hate for the issue to become the sole property of somebody like Howard Dean or Hillary Clinton.
