I would only point out that one of the economic issues that economists of all political stripes almost universally agree on is the stupidity of protectionism. Its very short sighted thinking.

It is especially stupid for economists who invest heavily in multi national corporations.

Wow that was a great response. Why dont you google comparative advantage and continue on from there? I also highly recommend that you read Henry Hazlitt's Economics in One Lesson. It deals with the economic fallacy of protectionism quite clearly and succinctly.
