The author makes a good point.
All the other candidates have run and hid on the TPA matter. Those who proclaimed outrage (Perry, Carly, Huckabee) haven’t read the documents and are simply playing to the loudest voices (many who weren’t for Cruz to begin with).
Ted provided detailed explains during two recent radio interviews a radio broadcast town hall meeting, and his press release.
He provided a clinic on TPA, trade agreements, and the legislative process.
Yeah, a clinic on something that we have to wait until its passed to know what’s in it. And save your breath, I know the difference between the TPA and TPP and the subordinate parts. It’s a hollow argument. Bring it out to the sunshine and let’s see what it (TPP) really says.
“Those who proclaimed outrage (Perry, Carly, Huckabee) havent read the documents”
1. Those who proclaim it is our salvation have not read it either.
2. TPA is not secret. The implementation bills are TOP SECRET. Some are more secret than TPP.
3. Connect the dots: Obama is drooling to pass this bill (it curtails his power, proponents would have us believe, if you can believe that). TPA was an innovation that came out in 1974. Since the implementation of the thick free trade agreements, the manufacturing sector of the U.S. economy has been gutted. Proponents say that all we need to do to rectify that is to add on MORE free trade agreements that have been negotiated by that champion of America, who wields a MIGHTY pen and phone, BARACK OBAMA.
4. Why should Obama be trusted?
“He provided a clinic on TPA, trade agreements, and the legislative process.”
That has nothing to do with him supporting Obama’s current pet thrill - the trade bill, nothing to do with supporting Obama’s Iranian nulear armament/ICBM bill, nothing to do with him wanting to increase H-IB visas five fold, and nothing to do with him wanting to increase legal immigration and grant legal status to illegal immigrants.
