As a general matter, I agree (as did Ronald Reagan) that free trade is good for America; when we open up foreign markets, it helps American farmers, ranchers, and manufacturers. But TPA in this Congress has become enmeshed in corrupt Washington backroom deal-making, along with serious concerns that it would open up the potential for sweeping changes in our laws that trade agreements typically do not include. Since the Senate first voted on TPA, there have been two material changes. First, WikiLeaks subsequently revealed new troubling information regarding the Trade in Services Agreement, or TiSA, one of the trade deals being negotiated by Obama. Despite the administration’s public assurances that it was not negotiating on immigration, several chapters of the TiSA draft posted online explicitly contained potential changes in federal immigration law. TPA would cover TiSA, and therefore these changes would presumably be subject to be fast-track. When TPA last came up for a vote, both Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL)80% and I introduced amendments that would have barred fast-track treatment for any trade agreement that attempted to impact immigration law. Two other Republican senators objected, and we were both denied votes on our amendments. Instead, the House inserted substantially weaker language in related legislation.

Its not an all or none deal. You can do both. I do think that time spent on electoral politics is time wasted at this point. But there will be some who regardless of how many times we’re screwed over will think that “this time will be different,” OK. They’re going to do what they’re going to do anyway.
One of the nice things about a “walk away from the table” strategy is that it could put some pressure on those pitching electoral politics to actually deliver something other than failure and capitulation.
That’s because there are so many liberals here to promote them.
No shortage of liberals here, including those who aren’t bright enough to know what they are : )
The link is nothing. I hit paste by mistake.
Cool song though. :)
With this being the F O U R T H election in a row they have advocated liberal Republicans, I think we can safely say they aren’t conservative in any way, shape or form. And ‘Because I say I am” doesn’t work well when advocating for liberal Republicans F O U R elections prove their words a complete lie.
Sorta like getting caught murdering the truth while you stand with a bloody knife over the corpse saying “I dinn’t see Nuffin!”
Yup! ;)
” With this being the F O U R T H election in a row they have advocated liberal Republicans”
And why I haven’t voted for a POTUS in four elections. It isn’t just that they are “liberals”, they are traitors. Hard to vote for a traitor as a “lesser evil” n’est pas ?
I listened to Ted the liar Cruz two times.
First he scanned the SECRET Agreement.
Then, he read it all but the footnotes.
He lied because of his wife’s relationship to Goldmann
Sachs AND because he supported ObamaTRADE.
Like Scott Brown, when elected, Ted the Liar deserted
his voters for Obama.
Re: voting for Romney
I too voted for Romney, knowing he wasn’t a true Conservative. But I knew I could live with myself with that vote, because it was better to vote for a pro-choice candidate, than an anti-America candidate (even though I’m pro-life). And even though Romney probably was owned by the establishment, I don’t believe for a minute, he would have been nearly half as bad, as Obama has been, as Jack Black pointed out in his post (racist, American hating, gay communist Islmaic sympathizer trying to “fundamentally transform” America).
That said, I believe we need the “right-wing extremist” candidate now....and that would be none other than Ted Cruz. He’s not perfect, but damn if he isn’t a true Conservative.
You keep using the word Treason...I do not think it means, what you think it means.
Treason is understood quite easily.
It is helping, aiding and comforting Enemies of the USA,
in violation of the the Constitution
(Article III, Section 3, Paragraph 1),
thereby betraying the United States,
in an overt act (with or without the flow of money),
witnessed by thousands of people.
Firefox has something called ‘no script’... it’s a free add on...
all that you say is ridiculous. listen to Cruz’s interview with Mark Levin. even Cruz now admits that this obamatrade will change immigration laws . he states this as 1 of his reasons for doing his flip flop vote changing his vote to no on obamatrade now. he SAID that he and Sessions tried to add ammendments that would stop obama from changing immigration laws but those FAILED to pass. but he defended obamatrade up until yesterday. he said wikileaks leaked the immigration changing parts of it. obama has been working in secret on this TPP obamatrade deal for at least 6 years. and to give this monster Obama a blank check(TPA) to pass whatever is in this TPP is ridiculous. I said all this months ago. no one listened to me but i was attacked here for it.
The new Obamatrade deal is not just about trade but about Obama changing U.S. immigration laws to flood the USA with 3rd world immigrants. Many on this forum campaigned for this Obamatrade immigration agenda disguised as free trade.
This Obama trade deal is a trojan horse.It’s disguised as “free trade” What It really allows is for Obama to flood the USA with an unlimited number of 3rd world immigrants ...

This Fast track gives Obama power to make agreements that override U.S. IMMIGRATION laws and any law. It’s the destruction of the republic.It gives obama unlimited dictatorial power to destroy the U.S. Proof here :

Obamatrade is about to pass .So those who campaigned here for it’s passage are also responsible for the destruction of America. The USA is done.

FYI there are 7 billion people in the world most of them in the 3rd world . get ready cause obama is about to import most of these into the USA. The USA is done.
You keep posting the same links and comments.....over and over....and over again. Please do not post me further.
I live near Medina, just north of Jackson TN.
I shook Ronald Reagan’s hand. I also remember what he went through in 1980 to get the nomination. It was no different than what Ted is going through and was arguably worse.
Don’t worry. Ted is a big boy and is man enough to handle the mud slinging.
Your post is a representation of the millions of grassroots who can hear the sincerity in Ted Cruz. They know he’s the real deal. And it is the grassroots level that Ronald Reagan connected and won over the American people even as the media tried their best to crucify him
Cruz will win. We just need to be patient and wise, and ready for lies, dirty tricks and yellow journalism.
FYI there are 6 billion people in the 3rd world. We are done as a country once this Obamatrade passes it.
All here who pushed for the passage of obamatrade are responsible for the destruction of the greatest civilization ever the United States of America. I tried to warn people here about obamatrade but many ridiculed me and attacked me . now that your hero agrees with me after changing his vote what do you all say now? Ann coulter has a book on this how the left will turn America into a 3rd world socialist hell hole.
