the overwhelming majority of Democrats in congress oppose it, too Scootaloo Jun 2015 #44

I can't believe he wants to go out on this note and for this clearly "secreted and guarded" BS libdem4life Jun 2015 #48

In Congress, yes, but how about their constituents? ucrdem Jun 2015 #49

Survey? Dude, read a fucking newspaper Scootaloo Jun 2015 #55

A recent survey on TPP or trade generally is what I had in mind, yes. nt ucrdem Jun 2015 #56

Hyper incarceration of PoC is not a civil rights problem? MannyGoldstein Jun 2015 #67
