  1. The NDN's stated intent is to push centrist Dems on us all, which in my mind generally means corporate and or misguided Dems. Dems that are left of center are Dems. Centrist Dems are those Dems that have generally shifted right as the K0CH Taliban Party has moved so far right it is falling off the flat earth it believes in. They are called Blue Dogs. Thom you did not call this guy out for his disinformation. He said that those negotiating are not corporate shills. That may be true but the actual writing of the TPP is being done by corporate lobbyists.

  2. RoyalKnightofDestiny Man really? TPP WIKILEAKS It is depressing to keep being reminded of the ignorance of the average American. Yes the TPP is secret and we do not get to see it. Wink nod. But Wikileaks showed it to us anyway. How could you have missed that? Wikileaks is the reason this is such an issue. Had they not released documents we would not be having this discussion. https://wikileaks.org/tpp-enviro/pressrelease.html

  3. RoyalKnightofDestiny I do not want to say anything that makes you think I support it either:) But negotiations are secret for a reason. And I do not disagree with that. What I disagree with is the attempt to fast track it so that there will not be public discourse and time to try and stop our representatives from passing anything that hurts the 99%.
