LIVE THREAD: House debate and vote on Obamatrade: C-span 1
C-span 1

Posted on 06/12/2015 6:38:32 AM PDT by ken5050

The House this morning takes up the bill to authorize Obama to negotiate a Trans-Pacific trade deal. Despite the GOP leadership's support, conservatives may well defeat it: they fell by one vote short last night, on a procedural vote on the rule, that would have killed it. Call your congresscritters to vote NO, and post comments and links here if you wish

His own website has a virtual museum with a section crowing about “politicians whose careers I have ended.”

Red Skelton or Sammy Davis, Jr. ever do that?

It looks like they struck out the whole text of the IRS bill and replaced it with TPA!

The same tactic as Obamacare!

Throw them all out!

It is disturbing to see this parade of people and be in agreement with the ones that I almost always disagree with....

You could be right.

If he were a patriot, he would call the vote with a losing tally to embarrass Obola.

Since we know he is not, who knows what backdoor deals are taking place.

UPDATE 11:52 EDT – The Club for Growth comes out against the trade deals:

The Club for Growth urges all House members to vote ‘NO’ on the bill that reauthorizes Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA). A vote on this is expected today as part of the debate on the Trade Act of 2015 (HR 1314). This vote will be included in the Club for Growth’s 2015 Congressional Scorecard.

***Youre right, they’re against TAA..but voting against sinks TPA right?

Yes, you weren’t clear on what they opposed. I imagine most Republicans will oppose TAA and I’m not sure how it passes except with unanimous Dem support which I’m sure they’ll get.

Despite the oft-stated reasoning of many "conservative" talk-show hosts (you know who they are) that it's far better to "change the Republican Party from within" rather than to start a new party, it has become clear that whatever the obstacles to overcome, "changing the party from within" requires changing the power structure which cannot be done by politicians who abandon their principles (which got them elected) for political expediency, and then attempt to rationalize their abandonment of the conservative base.

Although I will never vote for a Democrat (Socialist) Party candidate, I realize that not voting for the Republican candidate results in the same outcome --- and that has become OK by me.

There is no reason to pass any of these ... regardless what Mimi Waters says... Obammy will do whatever obammy wants to do.

He said something about those with concerns about immigration in trade bills shouldn’t be because only congress can authorize changes to immigration? Wtf!

“I imagine most Republicans will oppose TAA and I’m not sure how it passes except with unanimous Dem support which I’m sure they’ll get.”

But there’s speculation that the Dems will tank TAA just to sink the whole thing. If TAA doesn’t pass, TPA is a non-starter.

That would be such an incredible embarrassment for Obama that he would completely go berserk.
