Congress got pumped and America’s citizens got dumped with the passage of the dangerous Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) legislation that looks to send even more of our jobs overseas. “This is what all trade treaties guarantee,” says analyst Jon Rappoport. “The overwhelming leakage of jobs from industrial countries to under developed countries,” is Globalism’s meat and potatoes engine driving our huge job transfer out of the USA.” (1) The plunder of our economic and personal wealth was just bought and paid for in our own Congress with obscene amounts of special interest money “buying” out our Republican leaders. Let’s look at the filthy pay to play in the Pacific Obamatrade statistics just coming out thanks to research done by Maplight.org.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) was “paid” $9.2 million by interests not for America; Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) $5.3 million; Marco Rubio (R-FL) $3.9 million for a “bill he never read;” Lindsey Graham (R-SC) $3.4 million; Orrin Hatch $4.2 million. (2) Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH) picked up $5 million; Mike McCarthy (R-CA) $2.4 million; Steve Scalise (R-LA) $1.2 million.
“For Paul Ryan, the price of American sovereignty was $2.2 million,” says reporter Rick Wells. Wells continues, “in the instance of H.R. 1314, the legislation vehicle for moving Obamatrade, from the period of October 1st of 2012 to September 30, 2014, the amount of potentially influential financial contributions heaped upon the largely unscrupulous members of Congress in both chambers was nothing short of OBSCENE!” (emphasis added) Wells goes on to say that very dangerous legislation which gives Obama uncontested authority to negotiate with the Pacific rim countries will bring harm to US citizens needing jobs within our own country. These terrible trade deals all started with Bill Clinton’s push for NAFTA!
Think again if you believed Republicans...

This is the primary reason I won’t vote eGOP again. We gave them the Congress as they said they needed but now they are onto yet another excuse for not doing what they promised.
A true Republican one would. Sadly, we have a RINO one.
IN spite of their promises, the corrupt, treasonous
GOP (Give Obama Power) party, gave Obama more power
from leaving ObamaCARE in place to them EXEMPT,
to passing SECRET ObamaTRADE,
to continuing the IRS attacks to Conservatives,
to continuing arming al Qaeda,
to continuing the Benghazi coverup started with Issa
and continuing to Gowdy.
The entire GOP are odious liars.
Hence, Mr. Trump stands out like Secretariat
or American Pharoah.
Politics as usual.
November 2014, I thought we had hope of that turnabout happening. I thought the balance of powers would be regained. Then Batman (Boehner) and Robin (MccConnell) took the reins of power and thrusted those reins forcefully back into the scaly claws of the President. Back where the power did not belong. Then I heard tales of republicans being ‘punnished’ by Boehner’s group for not showing sufficient obedience to Obama’s requests, now demands. Then I stopped expecting anything good of the whole ‘landslide’. The GOP had in effect thrown itself under the bus. Pitiful!!
Congress? We have a congress? Whats a congress? Whats it supposed to do? /s
Of course not. Don’t you see? they had to keep their powder dry! If they engaged Obama, their powder would not be dry! Then what?
Hadn’t thought of that had you....
McConnell is too busy having out of body experiences when it comes to the liar-in-chief.
The Republican congress has only ENABLED and EMBOLDENED him. They have done nothing whatsoever to constrain the expansion of Obama’s power grab.
Remember to vote for our stalwart Republican congress in 2016. /sarc
Sorry to break the news, but these ARE the true Republicans.
Golly, if I remember right, didn’t our Speaker of the House hold the entire Obamacare Law and didn’t he dump it in a waste can with the promise to do that very same thing in Congress . . . huh?
Well some of us warned of exactly what would happen. No one wanted to listen. So they got just what was predicted and Stevie Wonder saw it coming.
Didn’t get rid of the corrupt leadership. Too many GOPe RINOS ruling over the herd.
Whats a congress? Whats it supposed to do? /s
*************
Avoid doing anything proactive and deceive us with endless hours of nothing but empty talk. That’s all the congress really does.
Are the RINOs gutless or intentionally complicit in Obama’s unconstitutional lawlessness?
John Boehner’s long time antics such as masterminding the GOP-E’s coup of the 1994 Conservative GOP wins has done lots of damage over a 20 year period. Boehner isn’t a Johnny Come Lately. It was his backstabbing planning that unseated Newt as SOH and put the GOP-E in power to start with. Yes it goes back that far.
Too much money to be made.
Yes.
The congress should be relabeled “The Council of Cooperative Eunuchs”.
