I don't know what the "original principles of the Republican Party" are, but I do know the U.S.-Israel Free Trade Agreement, our nation's first free trade agreement, was signed into law by Republican President Ronald Reagan. Our largest FTA, NAFTA, was initiated by the senior President Bush and was signed into law by Clinton with a majority of Republican support in the U.S. Congress. Basically it was Bush's baby.

Republican President Richard Nixon was the first U.S. President to publicly declare a war on drugs, when in 1971, he declared drug abuse as public enemy #1.
