I thought people of a particular political persuasion liked free trade. Now that a prominent candidate of the other persuasion has been found to participate in it, it is anathema.
Mother Jones writeth well this time:
The current round of outsourcing/offshoring speechifying is similarly meaningless. It’s good campaign fodder, but Obama and Romney will both follow fairly traditional trade policies over the next four years regardless of what they say now. If you’re a fan of trade agreements, you should just turn down the volume on your TV set for the next few months and not worry about things. None of it matters.
