In a burst of bipartisanship, the Republican-controlled Senate put President Obama's trade agenda back on course on Thursday, clearing the way for likely approval within days for legislation allowing the administration to negotiate global deals that Congress could support or reject but not change.
The 65-33 vote to resurrect the measure capped two days of political intrigue in which Democrats on both sides of the legislation initially joined forces to block action, then reached agreement with Republicans for votes on other enforcement measures to protect workers who lose jobs as a result of exports.

Personal attacks don’t change facts. And anytime you care to cross wits sport. I’m your Huckleberry.
“You GOP battered women syndrome voters might do well to accept the fact that if Cruz ain’t the guy in 2016, we’re gonna get Hitlery.”
But you just saud “yup” to preventing Ted Cruz from naming three conservatives to SCOTUS! And you already criticized Ted Cruz’s vote for trade-promotion auithority. Why do you hate Ted Cruz so much? Only RINOs could hate Ted Cruz so much as you do.
Speaking of sub 100 IQs....
Oh, *you* know what this *really* is about. It’s not about trade-promotion authority, or a Senate election between a conservative Republican and a liberal Democrat. It’s about the Illuminati or something. Gotcha.
Yea I do. It’s pretty obvious. Why do you ask?
It’s Conservative or nothing, period. Conservative, not necessarily R. In fact, I’d much rather see Cruz running as anything BUT R. Face it, the fact is, REAL CONSERVATIVES are DONE voting R just because, R. We’re not only sick and tired of getting the shaft, but we’re at a point where we’re ready to fight tooth and nail. The bottom line? 100% Conservative or GTFO. It’s that easy.
I’d also point out that one of us is against all this back room BS and one of us isn’t. Oh. and that Illumanati’ references do well on 4Chan but not on conservative forums. How’s that IQ thing work out for you now?

If the Fast track bill passes then the USA is over.
the Senate needs to vote no on cloture to stop this bill.
Fast track reduces the 66% needed to pass treaties to 50% . And no amendments can be added with fast track . Treaties override U.S. laws and the Constitution. Obama can then flood the USA with hundreds of millions of 3rd world immigrants.
Senators have not put up resistance to Obama here nor have they informed the public on this evil scheme. If this bill passes and it looks like it will then ALL Senators are to blame as well as Obama too.
It's unconscionable and treason that these Senators voted for cloture on Fast track , and that they didn't put up resistance against giving Obama this power nor even educating the public about fast track. Soros wrote a book on how to override U.s. laws using fast track . And Obama is applying it. Also Obama is about to take over the Internet with the FCC so we won't even know we lost the country.
Did Cruz vote for this?
Yup. Strike one.
LOL! This will not even slightly phase them. Their contributions come from crony capitalists.
I'm about ready to jump on the liberal's side when it comes to Citizens United Vs. FEC.
They may have a point when it comes to keeping corporations out of campaign funding. Look how badly it is crushing the Republican party and making them switch to liberalism.
I have damn near lost faith in Cruz, are you kidding me he went along with this madness?
All in favor of Palin and West running as Independents say Aye...
I am so disgusted with our so called leaders and politicians I think it is time to leave FR and leave all their madness behind, they and it are hopeless...
It’s caesar’s game played by caesar’s rules.
If we actually voted like we claim to be, AKA conservative, not a dime would matter. They could spend themselves bankrupt. I wouldn’t vote for a GOP liberal. Why is that so hard foe anyone else?
Oh thats right. Purity is evil. Principles are bad. Thats why we are in this mess. People are gutless cowards and let fear rule their voting.
[ Did your “conservative” vote help this come to pass? Turns out mine did. And you want me to continue voting for RINO’s? To what end? If you continue voting for RINO’s you encourage them, hence my refusal to vote for Johnson again. And you question MY conservatism? ]
If 2016 is bush vs. clintoon......
I dunno what I will be doing on election day but I won;t be going to polls unless the local senator/rep is really good and I will intentionally vote 3rd party for pres.
I am done.
Welcome to the dark side. The force is growing stronger daily.
If you must, ok, but I have found this is nearly my last place of respite. Are there GOP supporting kooks here? Sure there are. But anymore, it's been too much fun ridiculing them as the ignorant morons they are!
Sometimes thing in politics are murky, and sometimes they’re clear. This is a moment of crystal clarity: dear leader was handed a signed, blank check.
If West wasn’t a Trayvon backer you mean? Or Pigfred? Thats where he lost me.
Apparently Cruz voted for this.
