Reagan would not have given Obama more power?
Prove it, Toast Diogensis
It had a lot of free market elements, among them the elimination of tariffs. I don't think anyone can argue that that's not in the direction of free markets.
Free markets don't come without costs, however, which I'm happy to acknowledge.
The Cruz Derangement Syndrome (CDS) is on par with Palin Derangement Syndrome (PDS)
That means President Cruz is inevitable.
Since the Fast Tracked 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement revealed what really was at stake with the arcane Nixon-era procedure, getting any Congress to delegate years of blank-check Fast Track authority has been a very hard sell. Since 1988, only Presidents Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush persuaded Congress to grant the multi-year Fast Track delegation President Barack Obama seeks.
Nope, let me help you out:
(1) Did Reagan ever meet Obama? No
The Cruz detractors are desperate.
Which is hilarious.
Do you have a problem with reading?
1.) Gowdy WROTE that the TPA contained wording that prohibited the treaty being used to override U.S. immigration law.
2.) Cruz just said that it DOES NOT CONTAIN THAT LANGUAGE!
3.) I didn’t go into Gowdy’s motive; I just said that he lied. Can you justify another conclusion?
See post #88
Or several others. :)
Could Cruz have thrust a stake through the heart of the legislation had he opposed it sooner.
I don’t do hypotheticals.
Cruz explained his reasoning very well.
Revisit the Levin interview.
Did TPA pass the Senate last time by 1 vote?
Answer: No

> "I mean, if you really wanted to, you could post a lot of examples where Ted Cruz acted not from Principle, but simply out of selfishness and self-interest, right?"
According to the anti-Cruz trolls, Ted and Heidi are waiting for their big payday from Goldman-Sachs so why would they need donations from the 'little' people?
To conservativegranny, I also received the same email and it was not so much for money as it was for publicity. In fact here is exactly what was said:
Dear xxxxx,
Please keep an eye out . . .
. . . I overnighted you an urgent letter because your quick reply is critical to our campaign plan.
I cannot overstate the importance of you keeping an eye out for this confidential correspondence, Michael.
On June 30th, all presidential campaigns must file financial reports with the Federal Election Commission (FEC), detailing every single contribution and expenditures for the 2nd quarter.
Once the results are made public, all the media outlets – from the “mainstream” newspapers to influential conservative magazines and websites – will immediately access every single FEC report so they can run stories about how the presidential “horse race” is shaping up.
If we post strong fundraising numbers, we will get priceless media coverage and strengthen our position within the “Top Tier” of Republican campaigns, which will determine who holds the upper-hand heading into summer and the first primary debates.
The reporting deadline is June 30th, so please don’t delay. Please make your most generous gift of $25, $40, or $50 today.
For liberty,
So allow me to ask you conservativegranny, why would Ted Cruz' campaign team be OVERNIGHTING a letter if they needed money? The answer is IT'S not the money but the PUBLICITY. This is a campaign operation to buy favorable PUBLICITY.
So what what’s your point? Did you even bother to read the TPA bill that was originally sent from the Senate to the House?
I did. I didn’t see one thing wrong with it and I read it carefully.
So again what’s your point?
Bttt
“You can only lie, if you know the truth is something else.”
I think that when Cruz admitted the bill contained no immigration prohibition, he was telling the truth. Would that qualify as an answer to “if you know the truth is something else”? Cruz’s statement runs counter to what Gowdy wrote.
