they were quite open and confident about winning since at least last July.

No, I think Democrats should support people like Sen. Tester and Rep. Defazio who actually DID try to stop Monsanto. It really isn't that hard, but you have to want something badly enough in order to win. Apparently Republicans and Corporations have that desire.

Nope, Corporations do not and did not sneak this rider into the bill, they obviously have no need to be sneaky. They have support in Congresss and even some of their own in powerful positions in our Government.

What made you think they were sneaky about it btw? Is that a talking point, or did you really think no one knew about it until it was too late?
