Get elected without the help of unions?

Time for labor to flex some muscles.

Progressive wave is a-comin'!!!!!!

Primary the Third Way Dems voting for TPP.

start finding primary challengers now

mouth and the man who answered said "don't worry he is doing that right now." Nolan is a really good man. I was also please that both Senators were against it.

Hopefully we will win this one.

There will be backlash, but not the way he's thinking.

There's a price to pay for representing normal people's interests. But that price is normally exacted by the Republican Party. Welcome to the Thunderdome?

The Leadership is under the thumb of the corporate oligarchs and don't give a crap about unions. They know that the unions don't have a choice. They are fracked either way. Conservative Democrats or Conservative Republicons.

From either party. Shame on them! Go Bernie!

We need pressure from all sides on this one. It's time for the people to be heard.

I can't understand how any member of Congress can vote for fastrak or the TPP unless they are being paid off.

The TPP and the other trade agreements have and will suck money right out from under the constituents of all the members of Congress who vote for them. I would never have though that in the '90s when Clinton was pushing NAFTA. But history has proven what disasters these trade agreements are. Utter disasters.

I know which camp I will be in. Let the chips fall where they may. This election, I think, is for all the marbles.

'cause them DINOs need to have their butts kicked from office.

it's a top priority to labor unions?

Fuck you asshole.

These are some weak-ass Dems.

In fact corporate pressure is becoming a thing of the past, because they get invited in to write the laws.

Or think we are too stupid to notice.

I've noticed an Overton Window meme shift creep into politics: That corporate pressure is just the normal way of the world ( "job creators" and such ) but organized labor is a "special interest".

Amazing how quickly the Third-Way has gutted the populist theme of the party....while making it all sound so "normal" somehow.

Let them know that the TPP is a non-starter and supporting it hurts us all.

Lest I invoke a fallacy, I can't consider these "true" Democrats.

if this is how they repay them with these union busting free trade deals

Support dems who vote against them

and hey labor you have a candiate running you can support who has been voting against them since early 1990's-Bernie Sanders

time to let dems who vote for trade deals take money only from corporation.unions and indivual people should stop giving any time or money to them.

Funny, isn't it - Obama can go overboard, but the unions should not? Whose livelihood is at stake?

Without labors hands and elbow grease, nothing moves!
Labor built the roads buildings and factoies, not the billionaires! As soon as the middle class and poor realize that the rich are not needed, things will get better

..Third Wayers that pose as Democrats blasted the unions.

and side with Obama, the GOP, and the US Chamber of Commerce, then it's hardly likely he was truly "leaning towards no". Just convenient cover for someone who was going to vote 'yes' to this corporate-coup deal.

Amazing how that works.

Lol at the mention of backlash. Prepare for some irony, in regards that comment.
