Sessions: 'Little surprise' Obama quietly signed the TPP
Washington Examiner ^ | Feb 4, 2016 | Anna Giaritelli

Posted on 02/04/2016 11:40:26 PM PST by Ray76

Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., charged the Obama administration with quietly signing the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement in New Zealand, and said the White House tried to minimize it because it knows the public isn't pleased with the deal.

You know, some folks are in a suspended state of mental stupor here.

But is feeeels so much better to attack Trump than to check out your own candidate.

This is shaping up just like Fox and the GOPE AND NEXT GENERATION etc K Street wanted

Trump versus GO8 identifies with Latino blood primero Rubio

Cruz was the wedge

It worked

So all these very very obnoxious Ted folks are gonna have to decide

Sit it out or ride with someone they claim to hate to stop open borders

Rush Limbaugh saying Rubio is not establishment is a damn lie


Interesting theory/observation. I recall all the Cruzers arguing that Trump was a Hillary plant—you know the wedding pictures, still being posted this week.

How sadly ironic that it may very well be that TrusTED Ted is the GOPe wedge.

Was Ted the ONLY Senator to vote in favor of TPA? Weren’t there many of the GOP who voted for it? Why blame him alone for passage? Why not blame Rubio who also voted for it? Or Sasse or Murkowski or Perdue or any number of GOP senators? So what, they’re not running for president. Big deal. They’re just as culpable. Blame all 62 of them for it.


With all due respect, did you read what you wrote?
Blame all 62.
Big Deal???

Looking forward to the day that a Cruz supporter might actually say that Cruz doesn’t walk on water, that he did something wrong.

To those of us who are very concerned about immigration, it is a Big Deal. He is not the only one, but he is the one running for President as his staff said in their tweets, the “Right Conservative”—

So yeah, I blame Cruz a lot. I also blame Rubio—either one of those smooth talking slick politicians could have voted against it...They both now claim to be fighting that which they supported.

But their lobbyists told them not to.

And don’t even get me going on Murkowski and the others—they don’t even pretend to be anything but GOPe.

SUPPORTING what their LOBBYISTS told them TO vote FOR.....

That’s all you’ve got? A blog? What do you think would happen if you actually checked the roll call? LOL

Why would Obama care?

He’s gone in 12 months.

I didn't know what, exactly? That Ted Cruz voted against TPA?

And I get that he's in favor of it, in concept, just like Ronald Reagan would be. But don't try to spin a 'no' vote into a 'yes' with some blog. Seriously.

Has he explained that vote ever?

I hope it isn’t another one of his cute trick votes that was supposed to “expose” some nefarious intentions from the other side, instead of just voting no.

This post site is vastly superior to the sites your folks have been parading onto the forum for months now.

You didn’t know that either.

It was a serious question. I "paraded" the Heritage Foundation onto this forum about eight hours ago. What's your malfunction?
