Obama: A vote against trade is a vote against me
Politico ^ | June 12, 2015 | Ewdard-Isaac Dovere and Sarah Wheaton

By making a rare, last-ditch visit to Capitol Hill, President Barack Obama’s message to House Democrats was clear and simple: The trade deal they’re in danger of voting down is about him. The unscheduled lobbying trip to the Hill on Friday morning was Obama’s first in nearly two years and it put his reputation on the line in an unusually personal way. He met privately with the entire House Democratic caucus, and made what one lawmaker described as a “powerful presentation.”

IOW: If you don’t like this deal, it has nothing to do with the crappyness of the deal. You are all racist haters! Wah! Should play well wiht the mindless drones of the leftist media and the people who listen to them.

The House Boner has scheduled a re-vote on the TPA next Tuesday ... a second opportunity for the GOP-led congress to give obama what he wants.

The Democrat Socialists, with Boner's strong support, have run circles around the GOPEs and have gone a long way to regaining control of congress in 2016 when a significant group of principled conservative voters will refuse to be fooled -- yet again -- by the promises of politicians who consistently place political expediency over defense of the Constitution.

The Republican Party is not dead to me -- yet -- but it is on life-support and the prognosis is poor.

We should be free to trade with any nation on the Earth, with the only limits being the same limits they put on us. That is overly simplistic, but so is your rejection of anything that happens to fall under communist goals. Just because the communist goals list something, does not mean that it is not a good idea.

Trading with enemies is folly. Never mind that it is worshiping Mammon over God.

It is my experience that claiming that a communist goal is a “good idea” indicates a sympathy for those goals—or to give the benefit of the doubt, a grave lack of study of what communists are.
