So, it's back?  I first heard that phrase from the Tsongas campaign,
'92.  (My then employer - a friend of Nancy Pelosi - was a fan.)

Economic Nationalism

2004-02-11 Thread Aschwin de Wolf
"Democrats who have made economic nationalism a centerpiece of the campaign
season."

Interesting. Instead of speaking of "protectionists" free traders should
call (Democratic) opponents of  free trade "economic nationalists".

How do you think John Kerry will react if Bush says "So you're message to
workers in the rest of the world is: DROP DEAD!"

Particularly after 3+ months of nonstop scaremongering throughout the media about the 
'exporting' of white collar jobs.  Kerry and the other Democrats are running on this 
'stopping' this.  Kerry referred to his plan for preventing the 'export' of jobs in 
his speech at GMU last night.  Be interesting to see what exact position Bush takes as 
we move closer to the general election after his somewhat mixed record on free trade 
over the last three years.

I am, the 12% pro-outsourcing response is much higher than I'd expect!
