Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, countered shortly before the vote that it would be nothing of the sort. He said it would lead to "corporate handouts, worker sellouts," as he said had been the case with the North American Free Trade Agreement and other deals across the past two decades.

It's really an odd feeling. I agree with my democratic senator and not with my rino senator.

Good thing those republicans missed the vote. Otherwise, they’d be on record.

This TPP Obamatrade deal is not just about trade but about Obama changing U.S. immigration laws . It allows Obama to import hundreds of millions of 3rd world immigrants into the USA from among the 6 billion people in the 3rd world.

Because of today’s TPA vote Obamatrade (TPP) will soon pass . Today’s vote passing TPA made Obamatrade a certainty because TPA banned adding amendments to TPP . The Senate could have used amendments to stop TPP . Now TPP won’t be stopped. FYI there are 6 billion people in the 3rd world. Obama is about to bring most of them to the USA .They are coming here now so the USA is done.

Rubio is having a really bad week...his poll #’s probably are circling the bottom of the toilet right now. Deservedly so.

This hand-basket is equipped with turbo.

The repubs are real losers.

“The measure to strengthen Obama’s hand in global trade talks cleared the Senate on a vote of 60-38”

Even with a republican majority, obama STILL has a super majority. Go figure.

When was the last time Obama had 60 votes in the Senate? Oh yeah, thats right. Obamacare.

Pacific-rim pact

One pact to rule them all, and in the darkness bind them.

And for this, we voted?

I really do need to take some time and flesh out the theme of Conservatism without Ballots. I couldn’t present any worse of an idea than continuing to participate in elections involving these clowns.

“But this time will different” is the mantra of the battered wife.

[xzins]

Good parallel, muddog...close to perfect, actually.

[RKBA Democrat]

Norm has always been sane. His starry eyed optimism and teddy-bear charm will be his undoing, though. :-)

This officially ends what little association I’ve had with the Republican Party. I’ve been Tea Party for some time now, but they’re not well organized....

Boehner, the Republican House speaker, called the trade votes "a big win for the American people.

That bastard can go pound sand.

That bastard can go pound sand.

I agree. But there's so many bastards to go around right now in Washington DC that the EPA would have to jail them for ruining America's beaches.

[OafOfOffice]

What if this is a set up for 2016 for democrats to say it is a bad deal and republicans passed the bill without seeing whats in it? Obama is not running so he doesn’t care
