I am beginning to dislike Democrats.
I believe this is even a general sentiment expressed online and shown in the results of the last election. All of the Illinois districts voted for the Republican governor. The incumbent Chicago city mayor won the run-off but now the city's credit is rated as junk.
During the course of the ordeal just to start out the discussion of trade deal, the Dems revealed themselves of their prejudice over race, and even personal attacks, in the form of 'questions' or 'my image of you (you should be happy with this person, or not)'.
That particular 'leftist' tendency of the Dems was somewhat 'diluted' by the moderate image of President Obama. Now all of that is gone, and they talk as if limiting the trade is helping this nation and the nation's industries. No, the protectionism only protects their base and their donation money.
Say, are Democrats traitors of our great nation and its prosperity? What of entrepreneurship if we can not sell items overseas? If not the United States then China will take the initiative, if it has not done so already. It means no rules and no regulations over working conditions nor environment. Worse yet, the deals with China will be ruled not by laws but arbitrary decision making of whoever in charge.
Some Dems even use the word 'teaching a lesson' on this very deal. Education certainly is not about telling others we can lynch you because you do not pay. Wiki says:
Education in its general sense is the process of formally or informally facilitating learning, by which knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits of a group of people are transferred to other people, through storytelling, discussion, teaching, training, or research.
The lackluster campaigns and the extremely negative agendas such as protectionism that no one can put their hopes in other than the interested groups, do not forebode well for Democrats.
