It is amazing how these Congressional clowns can come up with all sorts of angles when they want to, but throw their hands up in defeat against Obama and his actions.

They are desperate to screw American workers 365/24/7.

Every day that goes by with Americans not getting the BOHICA is a day that Ryan, Boehner, McConnel, and Obama weep in frustration.

Please help end their misery....put them out of their misery: Vote to Impoverish Americans Today!

Its because they love Obama doing their dirty work.

He did the heavy lifting for the RINOs on amnesty and ObamaCare.

Dear GOP

Do this and I shall NEVER VOTE FOR ANYONE WHO WEARS THE REPUBLICAN LABEL.

Do it.

Go ahead, lose my vote forever.

Go on, you know you want to.

PS: Ted Cruz, leave the GOP or I won’t be able to vote for you.

Personally I don’t think the Dems will go for it. But Boehner has promised Barry he will try.

There are a lot of creepy things going on. Why is everything so secretive and rushed? Because those in power want to stay in power, and they want more of it.

I thought we won in 2014?

I thought so too. It turns out Republicans won, but we lost.

You do know don’t you that Cruz voted in favor of fast track?

I know what he did, why he did it, and it’s not as dire as some people state. This is a nuanced area of politics. There are flavors, stages and so on.

That could very well be true, I think not, but whatever. I was simply pointing out that Cruz's supports what Laz says will make him leave the GOP.

I will be happy to debate the merits (or lack of) in passing fact track at this time. If you want.

“TPP is separating us from the U.S. Constitution and from national sovereignty and replacing both with a global governance superstructure. TPP has wrapped its audacious global governance plan in the mantle called “free trade,” which is a misnomer if there ever were one.

“Free trade” means Americans must obey a bunch of rules written by foreigners (which we can’t veto), but China can ignore those rules. TPP didn’t even touch the subject of currency manipulation against us by Asian countries.

While the American people are denied the right to read TPP, thanks to leaks from WikiLeaks we have learned that Obamatrade includes 10 pages to unilaterally alter our current U.S. immigration law. Sen. Sessions says TPP will give Obama a backdoor to increase immigration, and the same lobbyists who are pushing for Obamatrade are demanding open borders.

Republicans need a bold program to bring back jobs that have been lost to Asian countries. Michele Bachmann summed up a pro-American verdict on TPP: “I hate it. It would empower the president, cut out congressional influence and lead to American jobs leaving the U.S.”

I don’t understand TPA has already passed the House so why vote on it again? I do agree that TPA sans TAA will get no supports from the Rats. Hopefully their are enough Rs loyal to the county to stop TPA at this time.

I’d like to see this whole trade deal sidelined until we get a new President. Hopefully GOP.

This whole vote process is a total sham.

The free trader/CofC lobby and all of their bought and paid for politicians are just salivating over this whole TPP deal.

The only thing getting in the way is that nasty TAA thing. The free trader/CofC lobby want all of the goodies that TPP will enrich them with, and dump all of the wreckage of lost jobs and industrial wastelands. They want the chump taxpayers to deal with that mess.

The free trader/CofC crowd learned their lessons from NAFTA, because that agreement also had its own TAA. It cost companies and the government (ie: us taxpayers) billions to retrain workers in jobs that are now in jeopardy by this trade deal. This time around, they just want to do away with all of that, and dump the newly unemployed off on the taxpayers yet again, and permanently marginalize them.

The fact that the limousine liberals and country club republicans are viciously trying to ram this through should be setting off all sorts of alarm bells in the minds of Americans.

If TPA passes, then TPP will be a done deal, and as a nation we will be the worse for it. Think of the EU on steroids, with the chinese in charge, and you'll get the idea of where we're headed.
