At least you present a reasoned and detailed response as to why you support ObamaTrade, but as more of the ugly facts come out about ObamaTrade, I refuse to support any politician that supports this.
Anyways, there has been scores of former Cruz-supporting Freepers today echoing my sentiments that he cannot be trusted.
And I am happy that Senator Sessions listens to his constituents.
And if you know anything about the people of Alabama, they do not fear anybody.
Heck, that is one of the reasons I moved down here, to be away from that purple state of Wisconsin, that somehow elects RINOS from hell who hate America.

Just to be clear, I do not support ‘Obamatrade’, rather I support ‘Cruztrade’.
Senator Jeff Sessions is doing an heroic job at calling out the dangers of Obamatrade. But I will bet serious cookies that Senator Jeff will be all in support for President Cruz to wield TPA once he’s in the Oval Office.
Because it’s not TPA that is the problem, it’s the person authorized to wield its powers.
And Ted Cruz is calculating that Obama will have no real time to get any trade deals done using TPA because there’s a full election cycle coming up and pols in Washington DC are not going to hunker themselves down to one of Obama’s trade deals when they need to be out and about campaigning.
Therefore, the longer that Sessions via Duncan Hunter can hold the House up on TPA, the less time Obama and his administration have to start a trip around the globe to get a trade deal in place. and the more time a President such as Ted Cruz will get to put a different trade deal in place. Running out the clock is important here.
But we must remain aware that Obama can veto the TPA in the form that Congress hands it to him.
