Keyes on Free Trade

“I said then, and I’ll say now, that anyone who supports American membership in the World Trade Organization demonstrates by that fact alone that he does not understand the most basic things about the importance and nature of American sovereignty, and is thereby disqualified from serving as president of the United States. And let me add that the application of this criterion to the current Republican field will winnow it quite a bit, to put it mildly. We should demand an explanation from any such candidate as to why he is willing to support American participation in an organization that sacrifices the sovereignty of our people.”

He rejects the thought of protectionism, but in interviews has come out against “outsourcing” and in favor of increasing tariffs.

I guess the Obama Truth Squad will be backing Jerry Kohn.

Oops. Okay now. I actually have some criticisms of WTO, but, on the whole, think it is a better system than other possible systems out there.

  1. Mike said it. In fact on the record saying Keyes is wrong for Illinois — big stretch, unh?

    I’m greatly looking forward to Republican day at the State Fair….
