LOL, Jeff Sessions “True Patriot” That title will last for what, an hour before someone finds a contradictory vote or two.
Oh wait, look at this...
http://www.ontheissues.org/International/Jeff_Sessions_Free_Trade.htm
Then why did he vote this:
Voted YES on permanent normal trade relations with China.
Vote to give permanent Normal Trade Relations [NTR] status to China. Currently, NTR status for China is debated and voted on annually.
Adios Ted—You talked yourself out of my vote.
Well this whole trade dust up seems to be of benefit to democrats as another great distraction. In fact I’m not sure its failure isn’t exactly what Obama wanted. Now he’s got the opportunity to pass out goodies to the democrats who voted no with conservatives happily blaming republicans like a bunch of morons.
So which Democrat conspired with Cruz to write an op ed with Ryan in support of granting the kenyan usurper vast powers? Do tell.
This is all of Ted’s doing and no amount of dissembling and insults will change that fact. Ted made his bed and now he has to lie in it.
All of the Republican candidates support the trade agreement and until you children are man enough to accept that fact, you can kiss my ass. I’ll waste no further time on cowards like you.
All of the Republican candidates support the trade agreement...
Actually, Rick Perry no longer supports...
I believe Huckabee, Fiorina and Carson don’t support, either.
All of the Republican candidates support the trade agreement and until you children are man enough to accept that fact, you can kiss my ass. I’ll waste no further time on cowards like you.
Which other candidate wrote an op ed with Ryan in support of giving obama this blank check? None
Which other candidate put out long press releases filled with half truths and disembling on this topic? None.
Actually, my first post on this topic was in support of Cruz. But then Ted’s actions, behavior and attitude shattered his credibility. That’s why he lost my support. Your insults just confirm I made the correct decision.
Rick Perry supported it till it became an issue then he tucked his tail between his legs and retreated.
Huckabee is a liberal doing a bad conservative imitation.
As far as Fiorina is concerned I haven’t looked to see where she stands and stood on the issue but again, she’s not a conservative.
The Cruzers are going Alinsky on us. First they give us half truth BS CYA, then distractions (”they all did it”), then bullying, then insults. If all that doesn’t get us back on the Cruz plantation, it’s ignore list.
Really, really sad to see what I thought was a great man and his dead end supporters crash and burn so badly.
I was just offering facts to the incorrect (profanity laced) statement you made.
You’re not entitled to your own set of facts.
(Oh, and please watch your language. This is a family site.)
Walker giving an interview is hardly akin to Cruz penning an op ed with Ryan. Then sending these long talking point filled CYA press releases filled with half truths when he gets called out for his hypocrisy.
Ted Cruz was the last person I would ever have expected to pull a McConnell two step: yes on cloture (TPA), no on the bill (TPP). But here it is developing. Sad.
Sen Cruz is my Senator...who I’ve campaigned for, donated to, etc. I have the yard signs and bumper stickers plastered in my garage.
I am disappointed in his trade bill push...and, as I’ve stated before...if it’s so great then why not wait til he’s president and go at it, again...out in the open (as he says he prefers)?
I’m also disappointed in the tactics (name calling, profanity) being used towards those who are not in support of TPP/Cruz’ support of TPP. That shouldn’t be happening, on EITHER side. We should agree to disagree...with the debate and with the facts.
Spamming (on both sides) has gotten ridiculous, as well.
Perry obliviously has his finger in the air on this issue. Also Paul voted against TPA in the Senate as did Sessions, Lee, Collins and Shelby. Strange to have Paul, Sessions and Lee on one side of an issue and Cruz on the other. Very strange.
$25 an hour?
I don’t have enough money (Grin)!
After all, you’d be searching for something that doesn’t exist.
Perry obliviously has his finger in the air on this issue.
As usual ;-)
Actually, Governor Perry, Huckabee, and Fiorina and weather vane politicians. They stick their wet finger in the air and see which way the wind blows.
Moreover, none of the three have read the evolving text of TPP.

There are respectable and honorable people on both sides of this debate.
Referring to those who disagree with you as approaching Alinsky, BSers etc is a race to the bottom.
Washington (CNN) Carly Fiorina says she supports free trade -- yet she doesn't want President Barack Obama to have the congressional green light to finalize a massive Pacific Rim deal.
....”(cruz)...he is supporting Obama”....
Well...as I see it you’re interest in what Cruz said is muddled by the fact you even could remotely assume he’s supporting Obama......the difficulty you’re apparently having in grasping what Cruz has ‘clearly’ stated could likely be you don’t want to know rather than you can’t understand.
As others have also sought to assist you and still you’ve not understood as you say...then I think we’re done here.
AMEN to that!
