6. All the Republicans are for it, and it has NO natural constituency

so when you see tools on DU defending it and talking about how they cry themselves to sleep thinking of Vietnamese farmers every night, someone is attempting to sell you a bill of goods. No one of normal income and station in life, and I mean no one, has any hope of gaining anything from this trade deal. There is no one at all telling themselves, "I think this will improve my lot in life". There are liars and fixers among us who are out to spread misinformation in an attempt to influence thinking. Guess what those people think about the rest of us. Hint: if they're willing to lie to your face repeatedly, they have no respect for you. And I have none for them. I wish I could say more.
