LIVE THREAD: House debate and vote on Obamatrade: C-span 1
C-span 1

Posted on 06/12/2015 6:38:32 AM PDT by ken5050

The House this morning takes up the bill to authorize Obama to negotiate a Trans-Pacific trade deal. Despite the GOP leadership's support, conservatives may well defeat it: they fell by one vote short last night, on a procedural vote on the rule, that would have killed it. Call your congresscritters to vote NO, and post comments and links here if you wish

Incredible.

TPA has passed the House.

The MSM and Drudge have fooled everyone (for now).

I wonder if anyone here has thought about the fact that the UNIONS are against the TPA.

Unions are protectionist by nature.

Fox is showing the White House Press Secretary speaking to the reporters now. He’s trying to spin the thing.... like everything.

In the manufacturing sector, union participation rate is at an all time low. It is about 10% and falling. It is just about dead.

I want to scream, even to the guy hosting Rush Limbaugh’s show right now....They are not voting on TPP right now. They are not voting on the TRADE DEAL right now.

All they are voting on RIGHT NOW, is the TPA - the PROCEDURES FOR the trade deals. AGHGHGHGHGHGH!!!!!!

I’m reading that the TPA vote was just show vote to further smack down Obama..who knows.
Don’t trust either side!

"TPA doesn’t become law unless TAA is passed. Senate joined the two together. All or nothing."

So Boehner, McConnell and Pelosi and Obama will spend the weekend horsetrading and planning a revote next week. I so don't trust any of them. They are one team working against the country.

I heard Ted Cruz give a BS excuse for his vote on TPA. Specifically that if Congress retains its authority to amend trade agreements no trade deals would ever get done. That is patently false on its face. We got NAFTA done and GW Bush got some 11 trade deals through on his watch.

So Ted Cruz is just not credible at this point. Fortunately he has very little chance to secure the GOP nomination for President.

Yes next week they will pass TAA and it will all be a done deal. This is Kabuki theatre at its finest.

So true. We’re being spun, and I apologize in advance if this horror goes down in flames.

“FYI - Obama does not need the TPA or TAA in order to pass TPP. It’s just that without TPA, especially, he can pass TPP without the public seeing what’s in it. WITH TPA, the public will have 60 days to review it and see what’s in it.”

So this win is really not a win but a scam?

He can’t pass the TPA without Senate approval, it deals with treaties.

And it should be killed in the Senate!

I don't trust the House to kill this after putting so much into getting it passed.
