This, more than anything else, is why I could never be Republican.* You have become the Party of the Sound Bite, incapable of considering whether any argument could possibly lie outside your tautology. I'm willing to bet that you don't have a clue what Tauscher or anyone else has to say about the environmental or labor issues, but you dismiss them out of hand because, in your tautology, Tauscher = Democrat = union whore = uniformly anti-free trade. (While Repub = Chamber of Commerce = goodness and light. I guess the sugar industry jumped off the bus somewhere, but whatever.)
Fact is, in many instances I agree with you -- I find your Ayn Rand, free trade will save the universe view pretty over the top, but I do generally support free trade (I disagree with you on the notion that dictatorships are good, or that they can possibly have free markets, but whatever). But, like so many Repubs -- even the generally rational ones -- you fall back on the sound bites. Dems are evil. Dems are in the pocket of Unions. It's the trial lawyers' fault. Liberal, liberal, liberal.
* Also the whole thing about being taken over by the fundamentalist Christians.
