(10,539 posts)Let's be clear (Love it when Bernie says that because the punch is coming), on the definition of attack. I view it as more of an unethical low blow like Bernie is fringe or Hillary looks old... Asking why Hillary will not take a stand on TPP is not an attack, it is a valid question that Democrats deserve an answer to. I am honestly confounded as to why Democrats support her when they know how much money she has taken, both in donations and speaker fees, from the very businesses that are ruining this country.
Obama took the Wall Street and oil company money and he has given them everything they want at our expense. Where these Donors didn't care, he was able to do some great things. Unfortunately, the Donors care a lot about their bottom line and do not care if it is at our expense. Hillary has put herself in the same position, that's why she will not take a stance either way on TPP in my opinion.
These things I have said are fair game, just as a Hillary supporter would be fair to try and refute them, and/or discuss Bernie's raising taxes on the rich as bad policy or whatever else that Bernie has laid out. This is political discussion. I agree that there have been too many low blows on both sides and I wish they would knock it off, but that's just not going to happen. At least what we have here is not near as bad as the crap at Red State etc.
