No traction on DU for TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership)? This is a FIVE ALARM EMERGENCY, people...

84. The posts sink because we have tons of "free traders" and more that will support

ANYTHING if it is done by those with a (D) next to their name and if you get a goodly amount of (D)'s onboard with anything then it must be double plus good even if all the (R)'s are also in support (must mean bipartisan super double plus goodness) or if the likes of Gingrich, Romney, Poppy, any number of Reich Wing think tanks, the Chamber of Commerce, Reagan, or even Dumbass Dubya hatched the plot.

Hence, the discussion just melts down to "Obama bad" pseudo taunts, the desire for Sarah Palin to be President, who wants a pony, who loved Hillary or Edwards, and various team and personality based arguments barely connected to the discussion.

It also is not being seriously discussed on M$NBC or CNN, isn't having the alarm rung on party fund raising emails, nor or the TeaPubliKlans attacking it which seem to be the primary drivers of discussion.

I'm all about trying to stop this shit. The discussion probably needs to next go to how and are we willing to do it? More broadly, what are we willing to do to deal with this entire area of government action? So far essentially nothing because we will not apply pressure on our party to do otherwise.

As usual our votes are preordained as are essentially our money and work. Our silence and unwavering support of each and every policy and action are also increasingly demanded, with some pledging that loyal support, no matter what they do will in time be reciprocated and that our unflinching backing of bad policy will eventually result in good policy, I guess like a gold watch after long service.
Support them in whatever they do and it will result in doing the polar opposite is a goofy ass political ideology but is constantly pushed. Support raising Social Security to 70 and your loyalty will be rewarded in due course by lowering it to 55 logic is not only weak but actually batshit crazytown.

Strongly worded letters aren't going to do shit.
