Senate advances Export-Import Bank lifeline
Washington Examiner ^ | 7/26/15 | SUSAN FERRECHIO

Posted on 07/26/2015 10:15:33 PM PDT by Rabin

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., kept a promise made to Democratics earlier this year that in exchange for their support on an important trade deal, he would allow a vote on a measure to extend the bank....

Obama administration is closer than ever on a breakthrough on the biggest trade deal in world history. http://www.politico.com/story/2015/07/trans-pacific-partnership-trade-pact-challenges-120600.html

All the Good ol Boys are convinced we the people, maintain generic, or self-inflicted stupid. We the people keep proving it is so, up to the tipping p0int.

The turtle face McDumbo can keep a promise to the RATS but not his own constituency. What a pathetic piece of crap this fool is.

We do keep proving it. In about 12 months all we’ll read is “we most hold our nose and vote for” or “you don’t vote for Jebby then you elect Hildabeast”. And they know that that is exactly what we will do.

Recall the entire point of promising to bring back a vote for the Export-Import bank was for their votes on granting fast-track trade authority for the Pres. Well done, GOP.

GOP is being the stupid party.

They should never have given Obama fast track authority to do even more free trade bills that will put even more Americans out of work. 50% of Americans on food stamps isn’t enough???

And they are wrong about the Export-Import Bank too. Of all the things Republicans could cut, they want to kill a bank that has generated a $7 billion dollar profit over the last 20 years, and which helps American exports.

I guess our trade deficit isn’t high enough for the Republicans. It’s enough to make you want to vote.... No, no it’s bad but it’s not that bad.

Never in my lifetime have I seen anything like McConnell and Boehner. I have a special kind of hatred for both of them.

This is why the American people despise McConnell, Alexander, Hatch, Cornyn & their ilk. They’re shameless liars

Those were my first thoughts as well.

Rank-and-file Republicans are coming out of their slumber, but it’s too little and close to being too late.

My hope is that Ted Cruz and Trump will run as an independent team.

Import-Export ponzi scam.

Investigations need to be done.

Maybe Yurtle will front the $$, along with his ‘esteemed colleagues’, instead of (illegally) using taxpayer funds.

Let’s not even go into the ‘promises’ made, and broken, to their own party and voters...
