TPP: do you truly give a crap?

47. NAFTA also had "strong labor and environmental provisions"

according to Clinton. Read this: www.aflcio.org/NAFTAat20

and the Peru FTA had "strong labor and environmental provisions" according to Bush. It is already rolling back labor laws: http://www.laborrights.org/blog/201408/fighting-labor-law-rollback-peru

And the Colombia FTA had "strong labor and environmental provisions" according to Obama (by the way they are still killing people for joining unions in Colombia and they are still hiring workers through illegal subcontracting arrangements in order to avoid paying fair wages and recognizing labor rights).

What leads you to believe that their "intent" has anything to do with the truth?

Also, you are far too certain that the the President won't get Fast Track. Try reading the non-propaganda about it:

Or, check how Tea Partiers actually voted WITH Obama on trade deals in 2011:

Panama Deal: http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2011/roll782.xml (Republican vote 234-6)

Colombia Deal: http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2011/roll781.xml (Republican vote 231 - 9)

Korea Deal: http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2011/roll783.xml (Republican vote 219-21)

It is foolhardy to assume that Fast Track or the TPP are dead.
