I want to read the fine print!!
Ditto. Did they also save the dinosaur EX-IM bank? Some dippy lib in Washington state wanted that included.
Who voted for?
Words fail.
There’s only ONE party when it comes to international corporatism.
Never in doubt.
They all know it’s going to pass.
It’s why it’s now safe for some politicians to vote for.
The joke is on the people.
From the article:
The vote was 60 to 37, passing by the slimmest margin needed to pass.
A final Senate vote on fast-track could come as soon as later Tuesday, and it will then head to President Barack Obama’s desk for his signature.
This time around, one fewer Republican voted as Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who penned op-ed in opposition to the legislation that published Tuesday morning.
“... TPA in this Congress has become enmeshed in corrupt Washington backroom deal-making, along with serious concerns that it would open up the potential for sweeping changes in our laws that trade agreements typically do not include,” Cruz wrote on Breitbart.
Republican Sen. Mike Enzi of Wyoming, who was absent during the first version of the bill, voted in favor making up for the loss.
It could have been stopped in the house.
Was this the bill That _was_ about firefighters but Ryan gutted and replaced with TPA like 0bamacare was another bill but was gutted and “deemed” passed?
Something stinks
Well he used up the Democrats and threw them away on the Healthcare Reform vote. Now he has convinced the GOPe to exhibit the same sort of deafness to THEIR constituents. Time will tell whether or not we will punish the GOPe the same way the people punished the Democrats. At the end of this we might have a DC full of sadder and wiser, but it won’t matter.
What Wall Street wants, K Street writes, and the rubber-stamp Congress passes.
Best government Money can buy. It’s a pity we don’t have any.
I wrote Enzi this morning encouraging him to take Cruz’ lead and vote against it this second go-around. The absolute nerve, he ignored me! What can you expect from a RINO.
PS: Check the "no" votes to see who was in most danger of not being re-elected.
Number one 2016 election issue, ending the corrupt bought and paid for Congress. The candidate who convinces me on that gets my support because all other issues fall under the outcome of whether this corrupt political system remains or is fought against.
Yep—it’s unpopular with the base, so excess votes facing elections, such as Cruz, were freed up at the last minute to try to minimize the damage from the wrath of primary voters.
Giving our JV president more international negotiation authority. A man who hates America and our ideals.
The GOP and their crony socialist enablers are pathetic.
The only difference between democrats and republicans is that democrats lie about what other people believe and republicans lie about what they themselves believe. In the end though it doesn't really matter which of them is running the show, does it?
UNIPARTY RULES!!
You and me both!
