In other words (for me, at least), Republicans are "free market" advocates like -- well, like not. Their market advocates, more like. As is everyone, to some extent. We're just not all so hypocritical about it. "You can't buy this, because we say so." How much more un-free-market can you get? P.S. This said, without even getting into all the various subsidies, externalized costs, etc. Just keeping it at the level of "free market" rhetoric that gets expounded to the public ad infinitum and ad nauseum.
