Cruz or lose!

Lose with Cruz. How delusional can you be with this glib explanation by Cruz for his sellout.

“Promoters of fast-track executive authority have relied on semantic obfuscation in an effort to deny the obvious: the President’s top priority is obtaining fast-track authority because he knows it will expand his powers and allow him to cement his legacy through the formation of a new political and economic union,” Sessions said.

If, as promoters amazingly suggest, the President had more powers without fast-track, he would veto it. The authority granted in “Trade Promotion Authority” is authority transferred from Congress to the Executive and, ultimately, to international bureaucrats. The entire purpose of fast-track is for Congress to surrender its power to the Executive for six years. Legislative concessions include: control over the content of legislation, the power to fully consider that legislation on the floor, the power to keep debate open until Senate cloture is invoked, and the constitutional requirement that treaties receive a two-thirds vote. Legislation cannot even be amended.

Do we really need to give the WH, regardless of who is in it, fast track authority?

Can you or any of the antiCruz trolls please tell me WHO you support and WHY Duncan Hunter VOTED FOR IT last night?

Surely, if it was so bad, he would have voted no too, right?

Look buddy! It's getting close to 250 years that power has been at least nominally in the hands of the American people. Don't you think that it's about time we gave it back to its rightful owners, the international oligarchies? Or are you one of those people blinded by your involuntary support of an unCruz? You know that assimilation into the NWO would make the pain go away.
