Fiction: Liberal Democratic voters support the TPP. [View all] cali May 2015 OP

"...economic populism is the very DNA of Democrats." RiverLover May 2015 #1

Bill Curry wrote that. He's former WH counsel to Bill Clinton cali May 2015 #2

"The evidence is overwhelming." Except for every poll. I think it is fair to say that pampango May 2015 #3

when was the most recent poll conducted? And ask yourself these questions cali May 2015 #5

The only recent poll I've seen was the one in April but that was done by a group linked to Obama. pampango May 2015 #7

So "every" poll, as you claimed, is one recent poll conducted by a group associated with Obama cali May 2015 #10

There were several polls done earlier this year that show essentially the same thing. You know that. pampango May 2015 #73

I think many on DU still fail to see the difference between the two wyldwolf May 2015 #9

the democratic electorate at large is still largely unaware of the tpp cali May 2015 #11

that's a 'progressive' fallacy - that they are somehow are better informed wyldwolf May 2015 #14

sorry, but of course people who pay more attention to politics cali May 2015 #15

No disrespect but you are no smarter than the average working-class Democrat wyldwolf May 2015 #16

straw, straw and more mouldering straw. cali May 2015 #17

You've never claimed you're smarter that the average Democrat? wyldwolf May 2015 #19

no, I did not. stop making stuff up. Better informed isn't close to being synonymous cali May 2015 #22

So you're drawing a distinction between "smarter" and "better informed and educated" than other Dems wyldwolf May 2015 #25

Get yourself a thesaurus. Use it. truebluegreen May 2015 #26

Sure, why not wyldwolf May 2015 #37

fail again. the tpp is not the only trade deal being discussed cali May 2015 #31

Name them - and show me coverage of them. wyldwolf May 2015 #45

huh. I am not claiming other trade deals are getting more coverage cali May 2015 #50

who said you were claiming that? wyldwolf May 2015 #53

Yes, coverage of TTP has been almost non existent, however TPP is another story Brother Buzz May 2015 #35

Thanks for the traffic nadinbrzezinski May 2015 #36

You neglicted to thank muriel_volestrangler for the traffic Brother Buzz May 2015 #40

How about you look it yourself nadinbrzezinski May 2015 #42

Found it! The alert failed then you fold claiming the 'alert stalkers' win and close the thread Brother Buzz May 2015 #61

Yup nadinbrzezinski May 2015 #62

News.google.com is your friend wyldwolf May 2015 #38

So is media matters nadinbrzezinski May 2015 #39

So mediamatters says there is no coverage. Actual news sites are full of coverage. wyldwolf May 2015 #43

and I can find a million reference for any obscure thing on google news cali May 2015 #51

but the TPP isn't an obscure thing wyldwolf May 2015 #54

no coverage on tv until the Senate voted down the tpa last week cali May 2015 #41

the majority of Americans get their news from NON Broadcast sources wyldwolf May 2015 #44

News alerts from CNN or CBS or NBC nadinbrzezinski May 2015 #56

Yes wyldwolf May 2015 #58

Odd since I subscribe for all of them nadinbrzezinski May 2015 #63

Yes, shut up and don't think too hard. Just do what you're told and everything will be great. jeff47 May 2015 #68

It's worse than that I think. joshcryer May 2015 #60

I question the integrity of anyone that would support the TPP. Enthusiast May 2015 #6

I can't find anyone who supports this pile of dogshit, but then I don't know any Third Way .... Scuba May 2015 #8

There's some room for cutting tariffs without precipitous job losses... shaayecanaan May 2015 #12

Yes, but the tpp is largely not about cutting tariffs. cali May 2015 #13

its about tariff and non tariff barriers as well as ip shaayecanaan May 2015 #65

that's a big chunk, I think cali May 2015 #70

Lori Wallach of Public Citizen in HuffPo, March 2015: Recent polling shows majority support ucrdem May 2015 #18

Nice job. This is Fox News type of spinning. Posting something without proper context. RiverLover May 2015 #20

Lori Wallach of Public Citizen in HuffPo is FOX, okay. ucrdem May 2015 #21

Total BS. Because she's appeared on Fox doesn't mean she IS Fox. Bernie has appeared on Fox. RiverLover May 2015 #23

hey, do you find the Sierra Club suspect? How about the Natural Resources cali May 2015 #24

The most recent Gallup poll shows that 58% of respondents favor free trade. ucrdem May 2015 #29

a general question about free trade is not a poll on opinions of the tpp cali May 2015 #32

If you can find a more recent trade poll that mentions TPP, post it. nt ucrdem May 2015 #33

That's like asking the public if they support the "right to work" or "clear skies"... cascadiance May 2015 #57

We already have free trade with the TPP countries. jeff47 May 2015 #69

Not Japan, and your numbers are sloppy, as I pointed out earlier. ucrdem May 2015 #71

How horrible of me to use the average tariff actually paid. jeff47 May 2015 #72
