So fine, time will tell. I repeat What About NAFTA?

What about NAFTA?

Let me repeat, with or without TPA, the executive agreement that Obama is currently negotiating with the 11 foreign countries is going to go through. Obama already has enough Supreme Court approved powers to make this happen.

TPA is the ONLY thing that will limit and control what he negotiates.

This is what Ted Cruz supports. He does not support TPP at this time until he sees what Obama has negotiated.

Perhaps you need more info on Cruz reasoning on TPA.

He’s posted it if you care.

Hint: Most all of the negative information on the subject has been wrong.

MY Opinion back up with facts, not emotional, factless, left-wing talking points.

Good timing on Paul’s part…

For most of the 1990s and the subsequent decade, a substantial majority of Americans believed it was more important to control gun ownership than to protect gun owners’ rights. But in December 2014, the balance of opinion flipped: For the first time, more Americans say that protecting gun rights is more important than controlling gun ownership, 52% to 46%.

Certainly the Reps need a kick in the can to protect the First, the Fourth etc. They have been almost pathetic on religious freedom. But the other side never gives up on taking away 2d amendment freedom, so we can’t move beyond it.

Once again, talking process. Like Bob Dole: “We need to get the women’s vote...”

Any time a candidate talks about how he is going to get the youth vote, or the Hispanic vote, or the women—he sounds self-absorbed and cynical.

You don’t ever hear Democrats talking about “the Hispanic vote” or “the youth vote” or “the women’s vote.” They’re out there shouting, “The Republicans want to deport you! The Republicans want to take away your food stamps! The Republicans want to kill you!”

Scott Walker and Rand Paul have both made statements recently about how they are going to de-emphasize the “social issues” and “abortion.”

Do they think some pro-abort, hearing that, is going to say: “Oh! I’m voting Republican this time! They’re de-emphasizing abortion!”

Of course not. All they accomplish is to alienate pro-lifers.

Do you really think you can Brow Beat someone into submission by insulting them? Whoever you “THINK” you are, you are welcome to YOUR opinion. As far as calling me a left winger, you are so off track you have left the yard. I am generally considered right of Genghis Khan!

AND you have STILL not answered my question about our submission to our lovely neighbors, Mexico and Canada. You are NOW aware, are you not, that we in America are NOW FORCED to eat beef that we do not know the origin of. Welcome MAD COW DISEASE! Marking our beef USA born and raised is considered Discrimination AGAINST MEXICO and CANADA. Tell me please, what has Mexico or Canada ever done for us? ZERO!

I delicately suggest that if you go out of your way to portray yourself as the civil-liberties guy, that you need not to be disparaging any of them.

So at a Faith and Freedom Conference you can’t pray out loud.. Just a moment of silence? I would say our candidates are just collectively pansy PC panderers. It doesn’t take a lot of faith to conduct a moment of silence. I think Rand isn’t the only nut in the fruitcake.
I would have thought a Faith and Freedom conference would have been a chance to pray for God’s Comfort and protection for a tragedy. An outward cry to seek justice, love mercy and walk humbly with Jesus Christ. Isn’t that what the slain pastor would have been honored by?

Without TPA, the chances of passing TPP are slim to none. The chance to kill TPP was with TAA being tied to TPA.

You are the one who is clueless.

TPA protects the interests of American Citizens by limiting what the President can and cannot do during negotiations with foreign countries.

So transparent. Why would the tyrant at 1600 Pennsylvania want such an authority?

Answer: because he needs it to get TPP through the Senate. When TPP passes, Cruz can say, "I voted against it" - and yet TPA made it possible, and he voted for it.

Thank you!

It took 40 posts for someone to post who actually read the article??? The headline was written to make people scream (and it worked!), but he didn’t say “let’s get rid of the 2nd amendment,” he said, “everyone is FOR it, so let’s talk about other issues.”

Like the candidate or not, FR is becoming so agenda ridden that people are taking a sound-bite and skipping the rest of the sentence.
