There was no jumping to conclusions. We were all commenting on actual votes to give Obama more power and take it away from Congress.
Comparing it to previous TPAs was also a BOGUS argument. When Bush asked for it in 2003 he first published the WHOLE agreement before asking for TPA.
This bunch is evidently fine with giving Obama free reign. I’m sure it will work out well since he has our best interests at heart.
Any of you care to bet me that as soon as Obama gets this power we have a completed agreement in our face in a couple months and TPP is law and shoved down our throats before the end of the year?
This was all a charade. And saying TPP was still largely unwritten was just another ploy used to try to justify betraying us and hide the terrible facts behind this trade agreement.
I am grateful that Cruz realized he was wrong with his first vote. That is progress and we all certainly make mistakes.
The main fact I railed against is still true. Obama, McConnell, Boehner, Ryan, Rubio, and many others are acting against us.
I think any and every politician that voted for TPA under these circumstances should be primaried and replaced. Boehner should have NEVER be re-elected as Speaker. I wish they would remove him in the most uncomfortable way and he cried for weeks.
...”There was no jumping to conclusions. We were all commenting on actual votes”....
Freepers were commenting long before Cruz even took a stand...even saying he was for TPP when in fact he was for TPA. So this escalated long before any knew which way Cruz would go.
So I will stand on my post....
