Hillary says she'd vote against 'Fast Track' without guarantee on worker aid
Washington Examiner ^ | June 19, 2015 | Ariel Cohen

Posted on 06/19/2015 4:03:04 PM PDT by PJ-Comix

Hillary Clinton said she would vote against the "Fast Track" trade bill passed by the House on Thursday if she were still in the Senate, unless she was "absolutely confident" trade adjustment assistance would be provided.

Clinton's comment that she would not approve "Fast Track," which is a tool for negotiating the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal, came during an interview with Jon Ralston on Thursday night, following her appearance at the NALEO conference in Las Vegas, Nev.

"At this point, probably not because it's a process vote and I don't want to say it's the same as TPP," Clinton said. "Right now, I'm focused on making sure we get trade adjustment assistance and I certainly would not vote for it unless I were absolutely confident we would get trade adjustment assistance."

Is that a photo of you after a few too many Cruz Kool aids?

Watching the Dems set up Cruz and his crooked K Street Hedge Fund billionaire groupie party has been interesting to watch.

Ted has nicely wrapped this Treason treaty anchor tightly around his neck and I can't wait to see how the Dems pushes him and the entire DC K street traitor party into high seas in 2016 !

Its kinda hard to peddle that good conservatives image when you sold out your countrymen to foreign lobbyists and Goldman Sachs and Pfizer and GE and Goggle plus millions of American lose there jobs because of your treachery.

She would always have voted for it.

But with Republicans offering another nation-destroying benefit, how could she resist?

"Why has NOT ONE of the DC crowd said "no more trade bills until we fix or repeal the bad ones we already have"?

That was a rhetorical question, right?

Because EVERYONE knows the answer: Because they are getting PAID.

And I contend that includes Ted Cruz.

Ted Cruz is the Republican Obama and he's getting paid, with a single layer of separation by his Wife's company, Goldman Sachs.

"I don't know why but many on “our” side voted to give Obama much more power on trade "

What makes you think they are on our side? Because they say so, or their acolytes here on FR say so?

“whoopers...”

“ramming thru to secret”

“its”

“Ted supoort”

“loose”

“trading the most Congress”

and randomly capitalized words.

What a sad, illiterate, foaming rant. I can’t figure out most of what you were trying to say. You’re the perfect target for your clown hero...the kind he knows is ripe and easy for suckering.

Have fun while it lasts, LOL.

DC is always about money and the urgency is because the GOP want all this awful stuff crammed down on the Kenyan’s watch for a sliver of deniability.

Now we know why Cromnibus was so critical. The GOP & the kenyan had all this set up. The next 1 1/2 years will be BOHICA over and over for Main Street as we get tag teamed by the beltway GOP and Obama.

The Marxist in the White House is on a rampage and there is no engaged opposition party to stop him. These are dark, dark times.

"But this is the most utterly corrupt amoral Gop run Congress in my lifetime".

Do not kid yourself. They're worse than that. Each and every one of them.

And anyone who supports even one of them is no different.

Yes. Anyone who votes for this Obamatrade bill is not on the side of us Americans. But they are on the side of foreigners who will all move here to take away our jobs.

Obamatrade is the worst bill ever.

This Obama trade deal is a trojan horse.It’s disguised as “free trade” What It really allows is for Obama to flood the USA with an unlimited number of 3rd world immigrants ...

http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2015/04/dick_morris_fast_track_could_lead_to_unlimited_immigration.html

This Fast track gives Obama power to make treaties that override U.S. laws. It’s the destruction of the republic.It gives obama unlimited dictatorial power to destroy the U.S. Proof here :

Time for some clarity on TPA/TPP. They are not the same thing.

Post #15 is very clear and easy to read. More importantly, it lends illumination to an issue that has been surrounded by misinformation.

An Email From Trey Gowdy

“Don’t you love it? The trade bill that won’t cost US workers jobs has to provide compensation for the workers who will lose jobs.”

Just what I was thinking.

My simple mind says the big boys don’t care where in this world they make their money and enjoy luxury. If their ascent requires the decline of America, no big deal.

I fear you are correct.

The only way out of this mess is if we get a President who revokes or improves every US trade deal. None of the wannabees except Trump has come close to saying anything near that.

Don't insult me some tired website Crap cooked up by the DC Gop spinsters
Really
.
Can you folks ever wake up .
Spare us the nonsense

I could care less about One little stupid website no one ever heard of except from from disinformation from DC insiders trying to fool everyone.

The GOP including Cruz have betrayed my family and my country with a treaty deal so awful the details are hidden from us by a far left Soros puppet who hatesxthis country .
Giving this monster
an open treaty that can be manipulated at any time thanks to fast tracks
is treason.

Drudge is right.
The utterly corrupt bought off Gop will pay for this treason.

The Dems have set themselves up nicely for 2016,

But only the stupid corrupt party would
Put Bonehead the drunk with the highest number of former aides how running K street lobbyist firms in charge and not care !

They are the same in that a vote for TPA enables Obamatrade/TPP. Thanks to fine conservatives like Gowdy and Cruz, the passage of TPP (Top Secret) is now guaranteed in the Senate with only 51 votes required to pass it.

Even Gowdy there admits that this fast track bs gives up the CONSTITUTIONAL REQUIREMENT that any trade deal or treaty MUST be approved by 66% of the Senate . so Gowdy,Ryan, Cruz,Paul etc are all for destroying the Constitution, for giving up their constitutional power to the most evil marxist villain ever Obama.I am deeply disappointed in them . I have heard however that Sessions, Bachman , Palin , numbersUSA are against this fast track power for Obama.

It's madness to give up that 66% approval threshold in the Senate for a simple up or down vote that requires only 50% voting yes. this means Obama and 3rd world Muslim dictators can in secret negotiate a USA destroying treaty or “trade” agreement and then bring that up to the congress for a simple up or down vote . that is madness and I will never support that. And i heard also it gives up debate, and amendments which are all part of the process which opposition to an awful "trade" (immigration ) treaty could be stopped.

this fast track basically makes most of these treaties unstoppable in the congress. it's much easier to pass and Obama mandate with only 50% up or down vote with no amendments allowed. this is why they call it fast track or trade promotion authority it's to make it easy for Obama to pass treaties that override USA laws. If a senator sessions would be allowed to add an amendment then debate would go on and it would be stopped maybe because of the amendment. this is the destruction of America . period. It's simple really: Obama cannot be given more power

I’ve read everything I can on TPA/TPP. It’s quite disappointing to see Team Cruz continue with the half truths and dissembling in support of TPA/Obamatrade/TiSA, TTIP, etc.

BTW, why is the Cruz campaign saying TPP is “not complete” when the Australian trade minister said TPP is basically done and only one week of negotiations are left:

“We are literally one week of negotiation away from completing this extraordinary deal across 12 countries and 40 per cent of the world’s GDP,” said Andrew Robb, Australia’s trade minister.

Again I say, why the heck would you even need worker aid or retraining if they weren’t selling out.
