Very well said ‘dawg!! Some FReepers have no choice is correct because some FReepers can’t admit they have been had by Cruz......like I was. (And not the first time a politician has fooled my old bones unfortunately). He is NOT whom we thought he was....not even close. It is not just this ‘trade’ stance of his either, there are a couple other serious things he is for that are not in America’s best interests. They can’t admit it to the point that they continue to spin Barry’s ‘trade’ crap as good for our Country even tho Barry is committed to the destruction of America! We all know that! The fact that Cruz supports Barry on this is almost as bad as FReepers supporting Barry and his globalist puppet master’s NWO TPP-TPA-TISA agenda. Then we get the Cruz supporters ‘Well who then? Who is the perfect candidate then’ jazz, (Their isn’t one, never has been, but I thought Cruz was close until he sold us all out), when we have a long time to go to settle on another choice. Bottom line: The muslim supports this TPP-TPA-TISA thing HARD. He is 100 devoted to destroying America. Support for it....means support for Barry.
Right now, with Cruz exposed as a traitor to the Tea Party, I nominate Allen B. West as our leader to retake the White House.
West is firmly against ObamaTrade.
His editor-in-chief, Michele Hickford wrote last week:
TWO YEARS ago, Col. West wrote about how wrong-headed the Fast-Track Trade Promotion Authority really is.
Now we’re getting ready to watch Republicans in Congress CAVE and give Obama everything he wants.
Col. West wrote, Article One, Section 8 of the Constitution assigns Congress the exclusive responsibility to set the terms of “commerce with foreign nations” — trade. The Founders established this clear check and balance to prevent the president from unilaterally negotiating deals that reward his supporters while harming opponents or the nation as a whole.
If this goes through Obama will be able to sign commercial trade agreements before Congress votes on them. Congress would not even be able to amend the agreements in any way — it would only have an up-or-down vote when the president says so, before members could even read it.
Sound familiar?
Now Wikileaks has released new information about the Trade in Services Agreement (TISA), which involves the United States, the European Union, and 23 other countries. Bear in mind this agreement is being negotiated in secret.
Breitbart reports, the draft TISA would require all signatories to allow suppliers to keep private information of customers outside their territory. In other words, if a Pakistani company does business in the United States, that company would not be required to keep American customer information in the U.S. and could instead store that information in Pakistan. Leftists are particularly exorcised about one proposal from Turkey that would allow health tourism to foreign countries, reimbursed by home countries’ health insurance plans.
Leftists are upset about that? How about conservatives? Oh riiight, I guess there really aren’t any left in Washington. There are just “Republicans” and right now led by Mr. Speaker himself, they’re all for it.
Writing for Breitbart, Ben Shapiro says, Congressional Republicans…seem to prefer the crap sandwich approach, just as they preferred the omnibus approach to budgeting that resulted in full funding for Obamacare and Obama’s executive amnesty. By giving Obama the authority to negotiate a trade agreement unilaterally, and tying their own hands by exclusively allowing an up-or-down vote, Congress avoids culpability. They can always claim that they had no power to amend the treaty, and that they had to vote for it because it contained so much good material.
And herein lies the problem with the current structure of America’s executive-led government. Congress always has incentive to pass the buck to the executive; the executive always has the incentive to maximize its own power. TPA is just the latest example of that Congressional abdication in action, even if that abdication is in the service of a generally good cause like free trade.
What was the point of voting these clowns a majority if all they’re EVER going to do is roll over and play dead? I simply don’t get it.
Lt. Col. Allen B. West for President of the United States!
Republicans caving over Fast Track Trade Promotion Authority
Amen.
