General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: If Sanders and Warren were telling the truth, they'd argue FOR, not against, the TPA. [View all]So you're being dishonest because you claim they're being dishonest? Bravo.
By the way, they've offered more reasons than that for opposing it: ISDS, the further extension of an already ridiculous government-granted monopoly system, the full-out attack on financial regulation, etc. The argument over secrecy is but one part of a larger strategy. It just so happens to resonate quite strongly these days, which should come as no surprise.
The low road? Man, that's hilarious. You are aware that the level of secrecy is unprecedented, right? At least one congressman has remarked that it's easier to get intelligence reports on the never ending war on terror than it is to see the TPP documents.
Edit: If this is your standard of dishonesty, I'm mighty curious what you must think of the president in this affair. After all, he's argued that it's necessary to boost employment, to boost exports, to strengthen workers' protections overseas, to "prevent China from writing the rules", etc. With that many rationales trotted out, I have to wonder why you haven't posted an OP attacking his motives.
