In a burst of bipartisanship, the Republican-controlled Senate put President Obama's trade agenda back on course on Thursday, clearing the way for likely approval within days for legislation allowing the administration to negotiate global deals that Congress could support or reject but not change.
The 65-33 vote to resurrect the measure capped two days of political intrigue in which Democrats on both sides of the legislation initially joined forces to block action, then reached agreement with Republicans for votes on other enforcement measures to protect workers who lose jobs as a result of exports.

” Marcus Tullius Cicero was assassinated in 44 BC”
Proving wisdom hasn’t advanced one iota in over 2 thousand years : )
Only in America 2015 can a person say” Supporting Liberals is evil” and have a brace of ‘conservatives’ on a nominally conservative website argue the point because of Magical letter “R”.
These people as an overall group, here and elsewhere, will together go down in history with other brilliant ideas and conceptual prophets like Mr. “Peace in our time!”. So we get vindicated eventually anyway and they look like the evil fools they are.
Works for me.
Hahaha you’re funny. Project much?
Lol! Getting zotted is really no big deal. Plenty of Freepers I know have been zotted and have come back as someone else. They just use another IP address, which is easy to do.
And the media is hiding this fast track taker-over , Rush nothing , Fox nothing, only a few articles on Freerepublic covering this and only a few of us freepers know what is coming the end of the USA. At least most freepers agree that Obama should not be given this power.
Sessions I don't know what he is doing. The other senators who voted to give Obama fast track they want Obama to have this power which is INSANE.
If only democrat Woodrow Wilson hadn't passed that 17th amendment , first nail in the coffin of America.
Giving Obama fast track power and Obama’s takeover of the Internet are the final nails in the coffin of America.
damn Wilson and damn Obama and damn all these senators that gave this Obama fast track power.
Mitch of KY said in October 2014 that nothing much would change if he became majority “leader”.
Yes, but the American people just can’t understand much of what happens and really could care less if they did.
Presidents can’t pass constitutional amendments: they come from the states.
Many of these “conservative” candidates in Republican primaries have proved to be frauds. I guess our voters are not too good at detecting frauds.
Pat Buchanan is one of the few who stands up against so-called “trade deals”. He was repudiated three times by the American people, but won one worthless NH primary.
: )
This was an excellent post. It explains TPA in a very straight forward way, without all the hyperbole and “Chicken Little” hysteria. Thanks for sharing.
There are real patriots who consistently put the USA as a nation first, and then there are the politicians who become made or anointed or even vilified, and this connection is controlled by media propaganda, much more than reality.
These trade deals have been sold to us by neoconservatives who support the financial gamblers and deal makers rather than those with business fundamentals needed by an America that makes real tangible products.
No virtuous conservative candidate will ever be able to stand up for Americans, and promote a stronger better America for Americans, while we have in place the treasonous gate keepers in the consolidated media.
You’re welcome. The real credit belongs to Congressman Tom McClintock, whose letter I quoted in its entirety.
Cruz voted yes?
Well, well, well.
Thanks for posting that, I trust McClintock to be honest. Still don’t know that I agree with him here, though.
I cannot write what I want to say - as that would surely get me banned; and so I will simply request a list of Yeas and Nays.
“The GOP is the enemy of the middle class. The Democrat party is the enemy of the middle class. Who is in the corner of the middle class?”
Our guns ... And it’s high time to put them into use. These fools will continue down this road to tyranny until they meet with armed resistance - and a bullet. Mark my words, because that is the only way this story ends. It is self-delusion to think otherwise.
If we don’t get big money out of politics, we the people will not have a country of citizens, we will become a nation of serfs.You couldn't be more right.
