Who determined that the NSA and TPP are the most important issues? [View all]

[ProSense]

Income inequality is killing the middle class. There appears to be agreement by those who deem the TPP as the most important issue that the last four Presidents fucked up the country. I can agree. So that's more than 30 years of fucking up the country, and the destruction goes back many more years than that.

Obama comes along, and is working to try to put the pieces back together but that's not good enough? People are trying to vilify those who support him in this endeavor? Screw that. Wall Street reform and the CFPB, Obamacare, environmental regulations and other policies being put in place by this administration don't appear to matter because someone deemed the NSA and TPP to be the most important issues?

The NSA was launched 60 years ago, and it has been a fucked up organization since then. Police state, you say? Blacks have been living in a police state (including racial profiling) for decades. Nothing has changed. The TPP, as horrible as it's being made out to be, isn't a fucking law yet.

I don't want the U.S. to lose another job to a flawed trade agreements, but you can't lose a job that isn't created.

I don't have to be the vocal advocate for the progressive issue anyone else ranks as the most important, but I support it.

So while the reforms for the NSA are finalized via Obama's proposals in combination with Congressional action, there are other fucking issues to deal with, like raising the minimum wage to help tens of millions of people afford a little more food...like ensuring that those who are being blocked from access to health care by Republican Governors can soon sign up for Medicaid. These efforts aren't negated because somone is against the TPP.

Republicans are attacking the safety net, a direct assault on the day-to-day existence of millions of Americans. Fighting back doesn't stop because the NSA is being debated.

While Republicans are launching these attacks on people's existence, why on earth should they be lauded for hypocritical posturing on any issue?

I don't have to be a Democrat, but I choose to be. I don't ever have to vote again, but I'm going to, and I'll be voting Democratic.

Fuck Republicans.
