The path of destruction House Ways and Means Committee chairman Paul Ryan is blazing to sneak Obamatrade past unsuspecting Americans is getting longer and wider. Now it’s become clear he’s using firefighters, of all people, to get it done.
To engage in the complicated procedural chicanery needed to revive the once-dead Obamatrade, bringing its Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) portion back to life, Ryan needed to gut a previous bill that has passed the House and Senate and then insert Obamatrade into it. It’s actually a very similar process to how Obamacare passed the House.
So, the bill Ryan chose was one that helps firefighters—and now those firefighters are fuming.

It’s unclear what will happen when the bill comes up for a final vote later Thursday, but Ryan may lose votes from Republicans and Democrats due to the pure level of misleading and chicanery he and leadership have been engaged in.

The NSA must have something extra special juicy on him!
Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting.
When conservatives AND libs hate this thing... well then you know there must be something wrong with it.
The new Lyin’ Ryan.
PING!
They must have some deep, deep dirt on Ryan for him to do this 360.
The very sad part of this is the idiot sheeple will vote him back to office next year.
Well people who voted him back into office: “How’s that working out for you now?”
Don’t you think it’s time to look around for someone in your State that will do better than drink the “Washington D.C. Kool-Aid”????????????????
What we see here is the corrupting unfluence of money,in my opinion. We have lost our country and our collective minds. We must get this country back.
Aren’t he, Walker and Rancid Prius best friends?
And the ballot box ain't gonna do that.
Of course the Supreme Court has the ruled that money equals free speech.
I have also wondered if the dirty dealing and crony capitalism is the way things have always been done in DC and we are now only realizing it in the last few years due to the internet.
House Approves Procedural Rules, Vote on TPA Coming Soon
52 Rs voted against the rule IIRC - but of course it still passed.
keep emailing and faxing
BS! Ryan was like this all along. Why do you think Romney picked him?
The government is the enemy. We know know that. We must radically change it at the ballot box soon.
It’s over.
218-208 with 8 not voting.
50 GOP no votes, but too many Dems voted FOR it.
Had the Rats did what they always do, vote as a block, this would have been defeated.
Waiting for vote lists.
50 No votes is quite an achievement considering the heavy handed tactics by Boner and his toadies of late.
Nah, he’s just been bought, not blackmailed. Scumbag that he is.
Paul Ryan is every bit as slimey as Eric Cantor ever was.
