The corruption in Washington has become so obvious that even those people in Washington can’t avoid the smell and the stink. All these political leaders, whether democrat or republican, are oblivious of the fact that every body in the country knows how corrupt they are, They really don’t care whether the whole population of this country knows how corrupt they are, they will feather their nests in defiance of what the rest of the population are saying. What we need is a complete house cleaning in Washington, from the top down.
Good for Ted! It has gotten to the point where, in my opinion, anything this president is for should be considered potentially toxic. The Republicans never seem to actually be fully aware of how devious Democrats can be.
It’s about time Cruz came around. He obviously knows that his base would disappear if he continued to support this bill.
I’ll take his no vote anyway we can get it. We need to continue to call our Senators to vote against this bill.
There are TWO copies of this agreement in the Congress building. They are located in the basement of the building, one on each end. The documents are listed TOP SECRET. Only the congress-critter can go into the room, none of his/her staff. They get one portion of the document at a time to read only. They cannot make copies, the document cannot leave the room, and there is a guard that watches them the entire time. IF they take notes, they have to give all notes back to the guard before they leave, they can take nothing out of the room with them. Because the document is listed TOP SECRET they cannot discuss what they read with anyone on their staffs.
This gives Obama complete and utter power over everything to do with this agreement. If you go to Hal's website, The Hal Lindsey Report, you can watch his program last week and listen to the entire description of what He reported on. He said it was like ole Nancy Pep-pill-loser telling everyone that the bill had to be passed so everyone could read it to find out what it said back on Obamacare. This bill gives Obama huge power on immigration which allows him to get more muzzies into the country.
I could never support ANYTHING where the contents of a bill are kept secret, that’s ridiculous.
Typical “transparency” from Obama, form the most non transparent administration in history,
and shame on those stupid republicans who are supporting it.
I am laughing at all the haters who likely didn’t read Cruz explanation and are against him before and after.
Look at this video.
Whole lotta consumerism and Cruz bashing going on. I guess they want Jeb. smh.
So Cruz gets it right on giving 0bama any more authority. Cool. Is everyone back on Team Cruz now?
I put on my Cruz bumper stickers last night.
bump
TPA passed the Senate in May with just 62 votes. They will need 60 votes for Cloture today for the new TPA bill to advance for a final vote. In May, 48 republican and 14 rat senators voted for TPA (with TAA attached).
Cruz’s change knocks that number down to 61. A lot of negative information has come out on TPA since then.
Also, there is no TAA attached to this new TPA bill. It is entirely possible that several of those 14 rat senators who voted FOR TPA before may well vote against cloture and keep the bill from advancing without TAA. With Cruz’s flip and if no other GOP senator flips from no to yes, it would only take 2 of these 14 rats to flip from yes to no today to prevent the bill from advancing for a final vote.
about time...
I am really glad to see Ted has woken up.
And I stand corrected.
The enemy within!
McConnell & Boehner strong-arming on behalf of Obama.
I HAVE NOT IDEA IF I AM FOR OR AGAINST THE SPECIFICS BECAUSE WE DON’T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE
WHY IS THIS BEING KEPT SECRET??????????????????
THAT’S THE ISSUE
Yes, I swung against it as soon as I saw the behavior of one person:
John Boehner
Boehner is corrupt and compromised. He howls like a conservative now and then but it’s just talk. He never stands up for conservative principles, never, unless it’s ‘safe’ for him him to do so. Obama has control of him. He likely has dirt on him similar or worse to that of former Speaker Dennis Hastert.
America needs TPA for when there is a President Cruz. Unfortunately, TPA needs to be defeated now to stop the corrupt trade deals that follow. And unfortunately, when TPA comes up for a vote in 2017, the democrats in the Senate will not give enough of the 60 cloture votes needed. They will need to be bought off, to have their arms twisted; prospects don’t look up.
I was waiting for Ted Cruz to get the time to finish reading in detail the trade deals. He previously said TPP is more than 700 paged long. He’s been on the campaign trail and promised to read TPP in detail. He’s had a hard choice. On the one hand TPA under his watch will help him create millions of secure high paying jobs for Americans. On the other hand there’s evidently now some aspects of the secret trade deals that are harmful.
Lol. Ted saw the light Sessions was shining on this bs.
Vote coming up now on C-Span 2
