About what you'd expect for a centrist of either stripe.
Groups like CATO often use the label "free trade" to mask an opposition to reasonable forms of government regulation concerning labor law, workplace safety, and environmental protection. Free trade agreements can be used to override these protections. Opposing such agreements doesn't mean that you oppose free trade, at least as I and most people use the term, but if you're looking for a reason to paint the Ellen Tauschers of the world as anti-business -- and isn't this just another example of what Tom DeLay has tried to do with the K Street Project? -- then you might use the term differently.
