bush and cheney lied about Iraq – http://www.ifyouonlynews.com/videos/bushs-top-cia-briefer-bush-and-cheney-lied-to-the-public-about-iraq-war-video/
So tell me something I didn't know.
So a little one day delay in giving presidents fast track trade approval (for the next 6 years, mind you) gave Michael Bennet the chance to lie to us that he helped block the law. Colorado Pols and the Progressive Change Campaign Committee helped spread the lie that Bennet is somehow tough on trade. (Cory doesn't need good press or a happy base on this, cuz he's so "good" on other issues like God, Guns, and Gays.)
Once again, good media manipulation by Bennet, bad politics and bad policy:
Someone should ask both our senators why we need another dubious trade deal now and why we need to speed these deals up and prevent the public from analyzing their text before they go into effect. They didn't make any news on this front, letting their peers lead on fixes, adjustments, and "sweeteners":
"dubious trade deal…………" I suppose it's dubious if one wants to concede economic supremacy in the Pacific to China and its new Asian Bank; and acquiesce to China making the Yuan the new world reserve currency.
It does contain many dubious elements. It's not the concept of a trade deal that the opposition objects to. It's specific elements of this one.
I've read some pretty in-depth analyses of the contents of TPP, both in left as well as right print media. On the left, Hightower Lowdown hates TPP. On the right, National Review seems to like it, altho some of that side simply hate the idea of working with Obama. Anyone who opposes TPP on the grounds of secrecy of its provisions isn't paying attention. While TPP has some problems, there is seldom a downside to endorsement of free trade.
"Free trade"…what exactly does that mean, C.H.B.?
And can you to point to an example that exists in reality?
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is the ideal GOP Presidential candidate. He offers the perfect trifecta of GOP strengths:
He also has that oh so GW like that not too bright obnoxious frat boy aura. So yeah. Perfect.
sorry about extra "that".
