Senate moves closer to passing Obama trade bill
The Hill ^ | 05/19/2015 | Alexander Bolton

Posted on 05/19/2015 7:02:31 PM PDT by GIdget2004

The Senate is moving toward an up-or-down vote on fast-track legislation, as anti-trade Democrats have failed to muster enough support to delay it.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) was expected to file cloture on the measure Tuesday, setting up a vote to cut off a Democratic filibuster on Thursday and final passage soon after.

Hey Lesser Evil Freepers? What about that whole “Feet to the fire’ BS you PROMISED???

Please allow me to vent - just what the hell did we do to deserve such a den of quislings on Capitol Hill?

The GOP is hopelessly disconnected from reality if they think the way to go is ‘working with’ Barack Obama.

The senate is voting on something that no one has read, the public has never seen? This is madness and clearly tyrannical. When will this end? It won’t, it has only begun.

This Obama “trade” bill is the worst bill EVER. Just read some of the links I post here below if you don’t believe it.

This TTP/TPA Obama trade deal is a trojan horse.It’s disguised as “free trade” What It really allows is for Obama to flood the USA with an unlimited number of 3rd world immigrants ...
http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/immigration/item/20710-obama-gop-trade-scheme-includes-unrestricted-immigration

It’s Obamatrade but also Obama Amnesty for the entire 3rd world.

http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2015/04/dick_morris_fast_track_could_lead_to_unlimited_immigration.html

This Fast track gives Obama power to make treaties that override U.S. laws. Soros wrote a book on how to do this. So these “conservative” Senators are voting to give Obama power to rewrite all U.S. laws because treaties override U.S. laws. It’s the destruction of the republic. Proof here :

What you mean we, Kemosabe? I didn't vote for anyone in this Congress - I voted against both of the senators and the congresswoman who putatively "represent" me. I have voted against Barbara Mikulski since 1986. I have likewise voted repeatedly against Steny Hoyer, and after he was gerrymandered out of my district, Earl Wynn and Donna Edwards.

After thirty years of being treated like someone's red-haired stepchild I have cut myself loose from the GOP.

Pinging to this thread that says Senate is getting closer to passing Obama trade deal that will destroy the United States.

The "Fast track" authority in this bill gives Obama the authority to rewrite all U.S. laws in secret. He and some 3rd world dictators can write some “trade” treaty that is secret and overrides any U.S. laws.

Call congress and tell them not to support this destruction of America and our jobs.It's treason that many senators voted for this to empower this Obama communist

See thread immediately below: “Republicans ... are cheerful and enthusiastic about the presidential election next year”.

They should be contacting VA realtors.
I went from voting a straight Republican ticket last fall to, in six short months, a vote of `no confidence’ in these faithless ****birds.

I thought that Sanders and Warren are so against it. Why don't they filibuster?

By ‘we’ I meant the right wing collectively. I didn’t help empower this madness anytime in the recent past either.

Unfortunately our former brethren DID and today, refuse to take any responsibility although the blame falls on their shoulders entirely. It wasn’t Democrats demanding ‘lesser evil’ and it wasn’t us evil purist types. It was compromising gutless cowards that now can’t man up to their actions. and are already making excuses to cave again in 16.

Excuse me, cave isn’t the right word. Getting ready to help further destroy America in 16 with their excuses and compromise with evil.
