1-17-2004 Bush's pro-corporate agenda crowds out GOP principles
Since taking office, he repeatedly has championed big-business interests over other Republican causes. Indeed, business groups have pushed for an open-door immigration policy that increases the labor supply and keeps wages down.
But if his narrow focus on pleasing Corporate America continues to collide with a broader party agenda, it could jeopardize the Republicans' ambitions to rule the nation long term as the majority party.
As more Republican conservatives see the dangers in that approach, they recognize that what's good for business is not always good for America - or their party.
