So Progressives will need to gin up the RWNJs for the House vote on Fast Track. Despite our spectacular victory yesterday in the Senate where almost every Democrat joined Warren/Brown/Reid to block cloture on Fast Track, it’s only a matter of time before Obama picks off the half dozen corporate Dems he needs to switch to Yea. http://www.senate.gov/...
The RWNJs are our best bet to join the progressive Dems in the House to block Fast Track. Of course Teabaggers don’t care about human beings or the planet, so we’ll need to frame the case against the TPP in language their amygdala brains can understand. Here it goes...
Why The Tea Party Should Hate ObamaTrade
1. Obama likes it.
2.Obama really, really likes it.
3. Obama negotiated the TPP in SECRET with FOREIGNERS.
4. Obama won’t let We The People read it. WHAT’S OBAMA HIDING?
5. Obama won’t let your Congress people tell you what’s in it but is pushing them to vote today to grease the skids. WHAT’S OBAMA HIDING?
6. Obama’s Fast Track process is UNDEMOCRATIC, subverts Congress’ Constitutional power and responsibility to make trade laws — another executive POWER GRAB by this IMPERIAL PRESIDENT.
7. Obama’s “Investor-State Dispute Settlement” (ISDS) SUBVERTS U.S. SOVEREIGNTY by giving FOREIGN courts and corporations authority over U.S. laws. (= U.N. on steroids!)
8. Using Obama’s ISDS, ABORTION pill/contraception manufacturers could sue for damages in FOREIGN court over U.S. local/state/federal bans that cut into their profits. Ditto for KORAN and BURQA manufacturers suing over those SHARIA LAW bans.
9. ObamaTrade would ban “Buy American” laws and fast track American jobs to Malaysia, Vietnam, Mexico and... KENYA.
10. Jade Helm 15 is just a distraction from the REAL TAKEOVER of America = OBAMATRADE.
So circulate this list to every RWNJ you know with the enthusiastic encouragement of a John Oliver’s epic rant:
“This is the moment you were made for... For once in your life, we need you to channel that anger, that badly spelled bile... We need you to get out there and, for once in your lives, focus your indiscriminate rage in a useful direction. Seize your moment, my lovely trolls! Turn on CAPS LOCK and fly my pretties! Fly! Fly! Fly!”
