Democrats vs. Obama. Freepers' heads asplode.

I'm not super exercised about TPP. It seems to me more of the 'what's good for corporations is good for America' thinking, but I don't think it's going to end life as we know it.

Obama's for it, so of course the right is against it. But Drudge & co. surprised me once again by going full melodrama hyperbole on the deal being *secret* So Freepers, ever responsive to such moves, went full-on Obamacare-level end of the world pants on head madness.

And then Democrats came out against the bill, while the pro-business GOP came out for it.

Freepers, whose principles are often decided in opposition to their enemy, handle the issue as they do most issues that challenge their simplistic world view - papering over it with paranoid theorizing.

Mouton doesn't even bother to come up with a coherent theory:

Kabuki theater.

At least henkster thinks up a simplistic scenario:

The demos are not “for us” on the bill. They are shrewdly holding out for 30 pieces of silver from our pockets before they come around to support it. This is Kabuki on the Potomac after all.

Buckeye McFrog takes his medicine:

[grit teeth]....[swallow very hard]...

Rah, Rah
Sis-Boom-Bah!
Go, Liz Warren
Rah! Rah! Rah!

Have to go take a shower now.

ManHunter is confused, and therefore angry:

It’s no longer possible to separate the good guys (and gals) from the bad ones. Remember when Paul Ryan was an up-and-coming “conservative” leader...? (Not my words, by the way.)

Tellingly, ManHunter seems to have mixed up 'constituents' with 'base.'

Last line: “...she’s [Nancy Pelosi] growing frustrated with liberal opposition.”

Rhetorical question: If even Nancy Pelosi isn’t representing her base, just whose interests is she representing...?

Diogenesis doesn't even see Democrats anymore, it's all RINOS to him:

Democrats ... doing the job Republicans (fools, whores,
traitors, and liars) won’t do because the GOP
is the ..... GAVE OBAMA POWER (GOP) party.

Iron Munro knows what should happen:

Every republican should be opposed to this monstrosity and Johm Boehner should be tossed out on his lying keister.

Fido969 blames Obama:

Obama is tucking away some BIG bribes here. What a scam.

dragonblustar is one of a growing movement to show how pure they are by rejecting Ted Cruz.

I think there’s like two or three republicans I actually like now. Ted Cruz is a snake. I’m so damn sick of the republican party, beyond angry too.

More on this awesome development tomorrow.

R_Kangel predicts that if this fails it will will somehow not be blamed on the President:

..... Once this is passed and the negative effects of the Treaty are beginning to be felt, The blame game will begin ...... then suddenly the focus will be shifted away from a "Bi-Partisan" Treaty ..... to what will be portrayed as the evil "Republican TPP" forced and foisted upon the American people via the fast track agreement.

..... The GOP and any Republican Presidential candidate supporting this will be demonized and tarnished by the media. In the mean time the Democrats will get everything they could only hope for from the TPP and will also be afforded the luxury of positioning themselves as the ones trying to stop the evil Republicans and their corporate greed who shoved it down America's throat.

firebrand keeps his paranoia close, and it tells him what to do:

Notice there’s no amendment for gun rights. That means that nothing means anything. If it passes with controls over our gun rights, then everything else is meaningless.
