Date: 2012-02-13 01:21 am (UTC)The best way to persaude a politician to support something is to couch your arguments against in hyperbole, half truth and nonsense. Because if the best you can do is untrue, then you don't have a real case. It's how they react.
There are damn good reasons to be worried about that treaty, but the hyperbolic nonsense drowns out the legit critique and makes the anti lobby a lot easier to dismiss.
