TPA, TAA, TPP, TED CRUZ, JEFF SESSIONS AND YOU

STOP FIGHTING AGAINST PATRIOTS.

TPA, TAA, TPP, TED CRUZ, JEFF SESSIONS AND YOU

There is a lot of confusion about these acronyms; about what Jeff Sessions believed and what Ted Cruz voted for. But I hope you are able to see when I finish, why we should be careful in fighting our own about every thing we hear. Sometimes they will even differ in their understanding. I was ignorant about it up until a week or two ago, when I looked into the matter carefully.

First of all not one person up there understands more about international rulings and how they could affect US law. Here is why. Ted Cruz does. Cruz not only gave oral arguments in a most famous Heller case where he defended the 2nd amendment before the Supreme Court and won. There was a case that could be just as important. He fought the Medelin v Texas case as he explains in this video. It is the DEFINITIVE CASE against the UNITED NATIONS, The BUSH administration and the World Court in the Supreme Court of the USA and won. That ruling against all the above agreed with him, that no ruling or litigation of any international body changes or alters US law. They have no authority whatsoever in the USA. So he above all up in Washington, knows what he is saying. Now let’s look at the real issue....

There is no good reason to support any of this.

This isn’t just about Cruz, this is about any candidate who supported this act of treason.

No, the Democrats are against this because they know it is a job killer.

“Do you even know what website you’re referencing, Comrade? Or do you even care? My Lord! You want to impugn Ted and Heidi Cruz from this source?!”

I’m not sure what this is about. My comments weren’t impugning anyone, just stating that opinions on Harvard, lawyers and Goldman differ, and that’s human nature. Goldman is probably loaded with Obama (and others) cronies, lawyers, and Harvard alums and that is why and how they were handed billions of taxpayer bailout dollars and Fed welfare\. I’ve seen claims they had inside info on AIG. Most of us FRiends are plebs with an opinion and forced to co-sign the debt that our elites get from China.

Possibly Diogenes’ lamp wasn’t bright enough or he wasn’t able to recognize a wise man when he saw one. Ready to dump senator Cruz over how many LEGAL immigrants may come into the country and a vote on the TPA Trade Agreement because the TPP Trade Agreement contains “secret language” and has NOT been voted on yet. Is anyone offering a better candidate or just stating that Senator Cruz is not perfect or good enough?

I hate it when people make comments without reading the freakin' article. Read the article dude:

Thus this is NOT a giving of power to the President but a way to keep him in check. The TPA REQUIRES that once an agreement is negotiated (the TPP) It MUST be put out to the public and the people’s representatives for at least 60 days to even be legal. Once all the representatives and people who want to read it all, it can be voted on. Up or down..

Hey, I didn’t impugn anyone except for Republican leadership and Obama.

My contention is that these agreements can be put off until we have a new POTUS. Simple as that.

The idea that Cruz would support this nonsense makes me a bit hesitant about my support for him. He is conservative and a damn sight smarter than myself, but that doesn’t mean he is correct on this issue or in the timing of this non vital agreement. He especially should know that Obama can not be trusted and that a delay in a decades long negotiation will hardly be the catalyst for or against economic ruin.

Six years in the works means sixteen more months won’t hurt one bit.

Besides, when has a trade agreement really helped the working members of our country? When has it lowered and not increased our trade deficit? When has it increased our manufacturing employment?

How about never on all counts!

We can wait.

Besides just because an article is in a Leftist site does not diminish the facts they report. It may be slanted, but the list of people that work in the White House who are former and future employees at Goldman is hard to dispute. Either it is truthful or it is not.

The fact is that Goldman Sachs has always had a much too cozy relationship with the Federal Government and has way too much sway over the policies of this and every other recent administration, often to the benefit of Goldman Sachs’ bottom line and the detriment of the American workforce. Believe it or not they are not the same thing and can and are often at odds with one another.

The process can take place without fast track authority.

That is actually the Constitutional and the proper way a Representative Republic is supposed to operate.

Get it through your head. There can be no “secret” legislation in a democracy. What our dishonest President and Congress are proposing is DOA.

There is one thing I've learned for certain in my short time here on Free Republic:

Be leery of people who think everyone on this website is a troll, except them and their eight friends on here. I wonder if they even know who, or what, a troll is. To them, if you disagree with them, or one of their eight friends, you're a troll. Troll defined:

In Internet slang, a troll is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic material.

Nothing about a troll being a person who simply posts something you disagree with.

Don’t worry, I didn’t comprise a “list” that I’ll use again, I merely pinged those I’ve talked to recently.
