WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Top Republicans predicted on Sunday that both chambers of Congress would muster the votes to pass the "fast-track" authority sought by President Barack Obama to negotiate major trade deals, despite opposition from Obama's fellow Democrats.

"Yes, we’ll pass it. We'll pass it later this week," Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said in an interview with ABC.

Republican U.S. Representative Paul Ryan said on CNN's "State of the Union" that he was confident the measure would also pass the House of Representatives.

"We will have the votes," said Ryan, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. "We're doing very well. We're gaining a lot of steam and momentum."

Even though the citizenry is banned from seeing it, we should not worry.

Our Representatives in Washington DC are looking our for us and will do what's right.

Republicans going against democrats to help Obama.

Why bother to vote anymore?

The Uniparty always wins.

[Da Coyote]

They are slimy, whorehouse, Obamahole worshipping RINOs.

Treat the, as you would treat those things floating in your Obamabowl.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Bipartisanship is when the Uniparty wins and the people lose.

This is stunning and unbelievable! How could anyone vote for a hidden 800 page piece of crap?

[Lurkinanloomin]

The Democrats in R jerseys are working harder for Obama than the real Democrats.

If secret bills that the citizens aren't allowed to see are being passed, is it truly still a Republic?

"If secret bills that the citizens aren't allowed to see are being passed, is it truly still a Republic? "

Obviously, NO!

And every Republican member of the US Senate is a co-conspirator.

It's unbelievable.

Publish the darn thing so we can all read it before it passes.

They will ALREADY never win the Presidency. Ever.

Nor would it matter if they did.

"Publish the darn thing so we can all read it before it passes"

They dare not, for even the simple will be able to discern that it's not "free trade" nor "fair trade".

It's a global effort to fleece the wealth of America and Americans.

[Lazamataz]

Publish the darn thing so we can all read it before it passes.

"That's above your pay-grade, plebian. Now shut up, or we'll drone you."

[Lazamataz]

Because our ‘elite betters’ are now so completely lawless, I, too, respect NO LAW.

“U.S. Republicans claim enough votes to pass fast-track trade bill”

Well hot damn! Look at those GOPers fighting against...er, for.....Obama?

[Lazamataz]

Publish the darn thing so we can all read it before it passes.

Hell, you'll be lucky if they publish it AFTER it passes.

[Paladin2]

McConnell and Boner Trade.

[Paladin2]

I’ve heard it has open ended changes available to the PTB after it is approved. So it’s a Zombie agreement.

[Bobby_Taxpayer]

Until someone capable of winning a third party AND is worthy of a vote not just another two-bit RINO like slime ball, we will never get past this BS two party wasted effort.

[Lazamataz]

Perhaps Obama will enter into a treaty that he serves more than two terms as President.

After all, his people think treaties trump the Constitution.
