Something I didn’t know, is that he didn’t actually vote for TPA. Did you know that? I didn’t. After reading he had over and over, I thought he had. He didn’t.
What he did do was campaign for it for months. He co-wrote an editorial supporting it with Paul Ryan that was published in the Wall Street Journal. That’s pretty high profile.
He went on radio and television to push TPA passage. Then a funny thing happened.
Just before it’s passage, he declared he could no longer support it. Nothing had changed, but all of a sudden the bill he pushed for months was something he couldn’t vote for.
Ted was a full fledged fraud.
Yes, he was taking heat from the Tea Party who had gotten him elected.
