Ted Cruz is right on the trade deal
The Examiner ^ | June 13, 2015 | J. Maropoulakis Denney

Posted on 06/13/2015 12:40:40 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

TPA, or similar a law, has existed for decades. The recent vote in the U.S. Senate was a renewal of the TPA, and Senator Ted Cruz, perhaps the foremost constitutional conservative in the Senate, supported it because it created a process in which the president could be held accountable. TPP was never voted on in the Senate or the House, and its language has not even been finalized.

My objection, at this point, to the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) is that it is secret, and only members of congress are permitted to read it. Ted Cruz has read it, and has issues not only with the secrecy, but on other points that he intends to address in the Senate. He especially wants to insist that any trade agreement with any of our Pacific partners under the TPP will get an up or down vote in congress within 60 days.

Trade in the Pacific has become crucial, because the un-named elephant in the room is communist China, who wants to dominate the region. Some sort of TPP must be passed; there is more than free trade at stake here, national security is tied to this....

The truth is the truth indeed. A broken clock is correct twice a day and even Homer nods.

Cruz is great on most issues. Wrong on this and immigration and therefore is totally unacceptable. Cruz not only nods on immmigration and trade which is crucial to the country’s future, he is in a coma.

Well there’s an agenda to destroy Cruz happening here....when you see the same posts on every thread by the same people and this with an apparent agenda other than debate...then it’s obvious there’s some who would love nothing more then pitting Freepers against each other and creating chaos ....and thus far they’re accomplishing so.

For “now” I’m not referring people here.....that will change once the acid climate lowers and these people creating tensions are outed for what they are.

Yep. A man who has been a hero for a long time on here is now suddenly a bad option? Really?

He is to the Right of Reagan...but for many of you “Conservatives” on this site, if he aint’ 100% in your camp, he ain’t no good.

If Ted Cruz was raping small children, I would not support him.
Voting for a bill I don’t like is not similar.

Not pointing the finger at you specifically, but it sure is funny that most of the Cruz bashers since this trade deal surfaced signed up here between 2013 and the present day.

He is wrong on immigration? Oh, wait, I guess you are now in favor of candidates who support ILLEGAL immigration then huh? Since Cruz is the best anti-Illegal immigration guy we have.

Refer to people on here. They are cowards. They post anti-Cruz stuff and when asked who is better or who they support, they don’t’ answer.

“Nothing in the TPP can change American law, on immigration or any other issue, it is not a treaty, and cannot supercede statutory law.”

Did we not recently modify our meat labeling laws regarding point of orign to comply with a trade treaty?

Cruz voted to make it easier to pass TPP when it comes. It will only need 50 votes instead of 60, and no amendments can be offered. Then he can safely vote against it knowing it will pass anyway.

Actually Cruz is all for quite a lot of immigration.

Trump is the best anti-illegal immigration guy we have.

He was NEVER a hero to me....EVER. I don’t do that hero worship. I want a guy who will pull up his sleeves and work and that is Governor Walker. Never would I support a guy whose best attribute is talking...NEVER.

Cruz voted to RENEW TPA. I know this is hard for you to understand. FAST TRACK has been around for awhile...even under Clinton. Was he trustworthy?

We need Governor Palin to run as an Independent.

She is the non-corruptable politician out there.

Also, had conservatives gotten behind Duncan Hunter in 2008 none of this crap would be happening.

LOL...Walker? He is better than most...but I guess you like his illegal immigration stance. His defense of the Patriot Act and his recent support of TPP huh? Yep, he is better than Cruz.

People with a different opinion? Tad totalitarian of you old chap. Listen to yourself.
