Maybe its time to give Jindal a second look.
That’s it! Cruz has lost my support! He has sold out! He is no longer one of us. He is finished. I used to give him money, but no more. Can I get a refund?! He is losing support. 95% of supporters are leaving him...just look at FB.
He is treasonous. He is evil. He has become a RINO. Did you know his wife worked for Goldmann?
There, posted this for the trolls.
I like Ted. But maybe he and others who support this bill could have withheld
their support UNTIL it was made public. Not before.
Transparency is a two-way street, and increasing the amount of information flowing from stakeholders to the government does not lessen the government's obligation to provide information about its activities and proposals to the public. That said, the USTR's efforts to help stakeholders engage with negotiators and make their case before the negotiating countries is promising.”

As one would imagine it's full of boilerplate.

More than what? To say that TPA does not give Obama more authority is misleading at best.
The key question is whether passing TPA gives Obama more authority than not passing TPA. The answer to that question is that passing TPA give Obama more authority than not passing TPA.
Whether TPA gives Obama more authority than past Presidents have had in similar negotiations is irrelevant.
Obama should not be given any additional power, authority, or discretion -- not even a smidgeon.
Obama thinks that passing TPA will give him more power, authority, and discretion. This is shown by his heavy lobbying for passage of the bill.
For Cruz to say that TPA does not give Obama more authority is misleading.
Passing TPA would give Obama more power than he would have if the bill does not pass. Therefore, the bill should be opposed and defeated.
This deal needs to be shelved for a couple of years and then a slow, cautious, and all read and debated out in the open bill put forth. We have much bigger issues to address right now including a Tyrant destroying this nation. Another Obama Diversion anyone?
If Ted Cruz or anybody running can't understand and take a stand for openness in our trade and treaties then they do not belong in the office of POTUS no matter their voting record and BTW some are saying Sessions has low Conservative Voting scores. No his lifetime score is just fine. I like Cruz but on this issue I trust the experience and judgement of Sessions a lot more. I think Sessions very well realizes what will happen and Cruz is too eager on this to appease K-Street.
Everyone likes to say Reagan was Free Trade. Reagan said plainly "Trade Partners, Not Trade Patsies". Every RINO who is a RINO in both houses is pushing this and that sets off the BOHICA Alarms for me.
The Constitution requires 2/3 approval from the Senate to approve a treaty negotiated by the president.
TPA is unconstitutional.
Ted Cruz voted for it.
Whatever happened to the Constitutional requirement of a 2/3 approval by the Senate of all these "trade deals" that are actually treaties?
trea·ty
A formally concluded and ratified agreement between countries
Oh that's right. Just call a "treaty" by another name and it becomes a banana.
My basic concern is that very few of the political elites on either side of the coin, get up in the morning and say to themselves “what can I do to make the USA a more secure, a more free, a stronger nation, with increased economic opportunity for its citizens, and a nation with a rising median income.
Or do they wake up fearful that their corrupt 2 Party duopoly will fold and that the lobbyists and big donors owners will get frustrated and remove their watering trough? I do not believe for a moment that they serve us as their propaganda promotes.
Cruz’s arguments sound good in theory. The only thing he has left out is the fact that Obama can’t be trusted, and neither can Boehner, McConnell, or the rest of the RINO collaborators.
If Obama could be trusted to follow the guidelines required of him in a TPA bill, or if Boehner and McConnell could be trusted to stand firm with conservatives and defeat any TPP bill that was sent to them which strayed from the requirements set forth by the TPA bill, then perhaps Cruz’s position would make sense. Being that they can’t be trusted, Cruz’s position is flawed. Whether he is just being naïve or if his motives are more sinister, I don’t know.
But, but, but, we were told by the Cruz hater ROBO trolls that Ted Cruz has some special secret source that he is working up and that HE wants to keep the details of thing bill, well secret and totally in the dark, OHHH THE HORROR ! OHHH THE HUMANITY ! MEGA SARCASM.
You need to put down the Cruz Kool-Aid.
The TPA (aka the Fast Track) EMPOWERS the Excutive Branch, and weakens the Legislative Branch by requiring a 51% vote vs. what it is now a 2/3rds vote the that George Washington put in over 200 years.
Cruz has to reverse hit vote on the TPA and vote AGAINST the TPP. This is so ridiculous that the public cannot understand the TPP? It’s 100% criminal to hide this.
There is no transparency because is SCREW JOB that includes the United States STILL PAYS TARIFFS to countries in the agreement and the other countries DO NOT pay Tariffs to us. How is that free trade? It’s only free for them.
The TPA includes CARBON TAXES too. Hence, why Ryan was trying to save it by saying you can’t put Environmental legislation with it.
Rumor has it they are going to ban guns, web sites (3 strikes and you are out), allow international courts to come after Americans, etc... And Cruz is going to still vote for it, and LIE by calling it free trade.
Have you not figured out that whatever the feds call it...., it’s just the opposite. Think about it.... For instance, The Affordable Care Act (aka Obama-care). There is NOTHING AFFORDABLE ABOUT IT. Another example the PATRIOT ACT. It was just the opposite with spying on ALL AMERICANS instead of mainly fore
Please quit, falling hook, line and sinker from a bunch of certified Sociopaths and Psychopaths that are liars.
It’s a HUGE FRAUD!
Patton ?
Be patient, sit back, it won’t be long now, watch and see these Cruz Haters run scurrying back to home base once their top guy and them see that their lies, tactics, propaganda isn’t working and have to go back to home base to get further marching orders.
It won’t be long now, just be patient, and watch and see.
