Lose with Cruz!

What a petty person, sells his country and himself out with lies that even his moronic followers (myself included) can not stomach.

No more professional politicians for me.

The TPA vote (procedural) has passed.

McConnell says they are doing it to help Obama.

Here’s the problem. Much of the previous discussion over the past week degenerated into name calling when the talking points were questioned. There was, and still continues to be, attempts to misdirect the debate from treaties to Cruz’s position. Perhaps I’ve become cynical and untrusting but I do not put faith in ANY politician. Most of the support for FTA had little to do with TPP/TiSA/TTIP but was based solely on Ted’s talking points. If you were in this category you deserve to be sheared like the sheep you are. What I find amazing is how far this rhetoric went.

The biggest problem with politics is that we tend to view it akin to sports. You root for the home team regardless. This is why we have politicians that are largely unresponsive and a congress with a 15% approval rating. I’m pleased that Cruz has come around on this issue in spite of the fact that his excuses are a poor attempt to save face. It still shows that politicians can still be influenced by we the people. It makes no difference how intelligent a person is if they allow their reason to be subrogated to a politician’s talking points. Hopefully we can learn from this.

I’ve seen trick this before...A million times.

It’s safe for him to oppose it as it’s going to pass anyway.

Why did Rand block Cruz amendments to TPA and Mitch McConnell then pulled all this double handed deal making “governing”? Didn’t Rand support Mitch’s re-election?

Ted Cruz owes Jeff Sessions a huge apology. Sessions is the one that stood tall, did the right thing and took the stand against this, NOT Cruz.

Ted Cruz campaigned FOR the TPA bill. For it. Then, at the last second, voted against it.

I don’t trust someone that never read something, supported it, then claims he wants something in return for supporting it. Ted wants the Exim Bank to be retired.

Convenient don’t you think. He now knows it will pass without him so he changes his stance.

This has always been about backroom deals and if he didn’t see that from the beginning....

Bottom line is he can now vote the way the callers have demanded he vote. I’ve always said I want to know how they’ll vote if it’s a tie. I now know on this politician.

Flame away.

I’m now waiting for an apology from every Cruz supporter that insulted me. Since their Idol has now admitted I was correct from the beginning.

Bottom line is Cruz should have never voted with Obama.

I guess all the Cruz supporters who were arguing why voting yes on TPA was the right thing to do are upset with him now, right?

Rafael Edward ‘ted” Cruz takes the words of John F’ing kerry “I voted for the 87 billion before I voted against. Ted states “I voted for Obamatrade before I voted against it the second time around”. Filled with corrupt backroom deals they were there along Ted, what you afraid to hear that many conservatives do not trust you. What an idiot!

So where are the Cruz supporters who were saying this Obamatrade was good for America just because cruz supported it?

will they flip flop too as their leader cruz did?

many of those attacke me here for daring to criticize Obamatrade as the trojan horse it is.

This Obama trade deal is a trojan horse.It’s disguised as “free trade” What It really allows is for Obama to flood the USA with an unlimited number of 3rd world immigrants ...
http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/immigration/item/20710-obama-gop-trade-scheme-includes-unrestricted-immigration

http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2015/04/dick_morris_fast_track_could_lead_to_unlimited_immigration.html

This Fast track gives Obama power to make treaties that override U.S. laws. It’s the destruction of the republic.It gives obama unlimited dictatorial power to destroy the U.S. Proof here :

http://getliberty.org/oppose-trade-authority-for-obama-on-pacific-trade-deal/
http://www.conservativehq.com/node/20233 .

Obama has been working on this TPP obamatrade agreement for at least 5 years in Secret.
Congress just voted to give Obama fast track trade promotion authority to pass this horrendous trojan horse secret agreement. That means that Congress cannot even debate about this nor add amendments and only 51% of the vote is needed to pass it instead of the usual 60% needed (cloture) .

This TPP is something that the left and Obama have been crafting for 5 years and now gets no debate and cannot even seen by the American people only after they shove it down our throat.

They voted to let Obama act like a dictator to pass this country destroying TPP. So Obama gets to pass his own law in which the left have crafted MANY ways to get around U.S. immigration law. They call it “trade in services” which is really Obama’s immigration agenda. If you read these links you’ll see all this is true. One link is from Jeff Sessions.

It’s this kind of crap that argues for another party.

Clearly, these GOPe b@$t@rds are only out for themselves.

Bonus points for Sessions and Cruz.
