Dem Senator Sherrod Brown's Experience with Lack of Access & Secrecy of the TPP!

26. Dear FairWinds . .

The question was "Why isn't Sen Brown running for president?"

And this is the #1 reason why


What is your expiration date on repercussions from beating ones spouse? 30 minutes, 30 days, 30 months, 30 years?

Abused spouses commonly forgive their abusive partner, it is nothing new or earth-shocking.

He knows this is a bone the media would never let up on if he ran for President

And since when has posting facts become a personal attack? I did not give my opinion I simply posted a link from a main stream media outlet (Cleveland Plain Dealer). The quote I posted that was within the article comes from court records. Once again I ask how is posting facts a personal attack?

I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt in thinking that you were not trying to sully my name by making a personal attack just because I posted facts you do not like. That would be improper.

Look I've voted for him twice because he was the lesser of two evils. I would not call him a very good Senator, I would call him above average. He talks the talk but he does not always walk the walk.


AND I could not care less about his TPP stance, I do not care about anyone's TPP stance, mainly because no one knows what is it the TPP yet. People assume it will be bad because of past agreements and they might be correct. Once the TPP if written and released then I will care what people think about it. I find it hilarious all these talking heads on TV trying to make a name for themselves by blasting an agreement that is not complete or released.

If Brown does not like how this trade agreement is being negotiations then he should work on repealing the Trade Act of 1974 instead of crying about how unfair it is. He acts like this is a new way of doing things and it is not.


I even understand why Obama wants fast track, the US has been negotiating the TPP since Feb of 2008, that is 7 years and 2 months. If Congress add amendments to the trade agreement it could send the negotiations back to square one and they could be looking at another 7 years to get a deal done. If the only way congress would support the agreement is by adding amendments then they should vote it down. How can you negotiate in good faith if when you country votes on an agreement they can completely change said agreement?

If it is a bad deal them vote it down, seams simple to me. But waiting until you know what is in the agreement before bitching about it.
