I, for one, TRUST my President and prefer to wait until it's too late before making up my mind.

You should too.

As to Grayson... can you say "President Palin"?

I mean, what would some guy named Alan Grayson know anyway, he's not an anonymous blog poster?

...with all the yahoos and other ne'erdowells currently occupying most of the space there. Well, those along with the real threat, apparatchiks of the NEW WORLD SECURITY STATE. It's a wonder he doesn't go screaming down the halls.

- But I'm sure he's cognizant enough to realize that the police in this country shoot those who appear mentally ill first, instead of doing things like helping them.

11. We lose twice by the TPP. Then we go bankrupt. Because we only get 88 seconds of debate!

Each of our representatives only 88 seconds.

So the TPP is set up for multi corporations with corporate tribunals with no independents.

Only Trade 88 seconds for debate. For a take it or leave it deal on a five year authority. That means 3 years into the next administration.


Hopefully Grayson's advice about this not being a done deal if we speak up is right on. Trade bill should not conduct such a secret operation.
