REPUBLICAN OPPOSITION TO OBAMATRADE GROWS IN FACE OF RYAN MISTAKES
Breitbart ^ | June 11, 2015 | MATTHEW BOYLE AND GARRETT RENO

Posted on 06/11/2015 3:59:15 PM PDT by PJ-Comix

The number of House Republicans coming out against Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) is growing rapidly. The controversial measure would fast track trade deals including the highly secretive Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (T-TIP) and Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA)—collectively Obamatrade.

Approximately 40 House Republicans are on record against the deal, just a few short hours ahead of the vote. GOP leadership is getting steadily more desperate in its attempts to lobby members to support it at the 11th hour.

Did Ryan's channeling of Nancy Pelosi doom it? Fingers crossed here. We shall see tomorrow.

Undocumented Democrat:
"You, over-complaining voters,
actually work for us, the EXEMPT.
So your concerns, like our promises,
mean nothing to us in the GOP. Nothing."

Paul Ryan comes out in favor of ObamaTrade and unintentionally creates a firestorm against it. Shrewd maneuver? I sincerely doubt it.

K Street and the GOP-E think he actually still has some sort of credibility left with Conservatives.

Not.

Called Ryan and Bonehead Boehner, told them we're working on them being “Cantorized.” This was a bad move for the GOP leadership. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. They just don't understand what being the opposition party means.

Some last minute bribery may pass this thing.

This can be stopped. It should be stopped on principle. This is a democracy. Not only should a proposed law be thoroughly vetted by the people’s elected representatives but the people themselves should have open access to any proposed law to register their opinion before it is voted. It should be made clear that any member of Congress who votes for this shrouded legislation will be opposed vigoursly in the next election.

If he managed to kill it we should give him an award.

Even if through incompetence.

Was it not Bonehead Boehner who “promised” that all bills in front of congress would be posted for three days on the Internet before being voted on?

There isn’t one elected or re-elected person in our government has ever said what they will do when they are running for a seat (House or Senate, POTUS) that will keep their word after they are elected to said seat....

I don’t think we will ever see that day come....

Ok, I have to say that Ryan was being interviewed about this yesterday and he made it sound like he’s aiming for the opposite.. transparency in the trade bill, participation of Congress in the process..

Really far from ‘lets see what’s in it after its passed’.

Maybe Breitbart got this one wrong?

So far, Dave Brat has stuck to his word. He is voting the way his constituents want. He is a no.

My representative is supporting this bill. Rep. Kevin Brady (R)ino of Montgomery county Texas.

I will use time, talent and treasure to help defeat this RINO in the next election.

They are talking about different things. The actual trade mechanics will be transparent for 60 days, but giving the authority to allow the President to fast track those mechanics, is not transparent, but will be after it becomes law. God won’t even bother to sort these fools out.

Yeah, just to be safe I just wrote my Congressman asking him to vote no. I told him we can have a new negotiation when we elect and American president that we can trust.
