You mean his INFAMOUS ‘teddy bear’ charm?

“You idiots: I told you not to vote Republican! It’s a waste, you blockheaded, batch of bastardly buffoonery!”

[RKBA Democrat]

“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.”

This is such a stellar screwover, it doesn’t really matter. Historians will rank it with the assassination of Julius Caesar and the perfidy of Benedict Arnold as an example of pure, unadulterated political treachery.

The measure would allow Obama to negotiate global trade deals that Congress could approve or reject, but not change. The administration was seeking the "fast track" as it works to complete a round of trade negotiations involving 12 nations along both sides of the Pacific Ocean, including Japan.

And here I thought that fast track meant what it historically did, that whatever was negotiated is pre-approved.

I’ve always been under the impression that Norm is one of the most sane on FR.

The Republicans are real losers

Notice that this is being hailed in the media as a huge win for Obama, not because the Republicans worked with him for a compromise.

These Republican backstabbers are either total idiots or so enriched by selling out their constituents that they don't care if they lose next election.

[xzins]

It was intended as a compliment.

[RKBA Democrat]

None other. But that’s just a warm up. If he’s pouring on the charm, he’ll talk about how he hopes to laugh in our faces and piss on our graves for having voted for the gop faction.

A regular Don Juan of the FR circuit. He’s probably got a bunch of twenty-something year old blonde Groupies hanging on his arm.

Norm and I knew it was over when we took over the Senate with TRAITOR McConnell running the show. The crony corporatists have complete control of the Republican party.

[xzins]

LOL. Probably smokes expensive cigars and chases them with cheap whiskey.

[South40]

I’ve always been under the impression that Norm is one of the most sane on FR.

He is.

[familyop]

So that’s what the smokescreen about race and murders was for.

“You idiots: I told you not to vote Republican! It’s a waste, you blockheaded, batch of bastardly buffoonery!”

Even if we fail at stopping America's total destruction, trying for a Republican Congress was our best hope. Whatever conservatives we got in was a win whereas if we elected Democrats, it was a 100% loss.

[FreeInWV]

Kinda makes you wonder what dirt Obama’s friend at the NSA dug up on Boehner.

[RKBA Democrat]

"When I do Free Republic, it's just GOT to be with Normie..."

1. Pool party girl in bikini — one week of coverage

2. escape from NY prison — one week of coverage

3. sharks in north Carolina — a few days of coverage

4. man pretends to be woman — 2 weeks coverage

5. woman pretends to be black — 1 week coverage

[xzins]

Norm sure has good taste in whiskey, doesn’t he?

[xzins]

we’re just funning around.

[Fiddlstix]

True That!
BUT..
Boehner IS the biggest B@stard in D.C.!

[familyop]

Support open source equipment design and distributed manufacturing efforts enough, and the trade conspiracies won’t make any difference. If you don’t know what that’s about, look it up.

Just nominate and elect the Governor with a real record of cutting big government spending and supporting the Second Amendment. With enough decreases in funding to every level of government, the opposition will have less money and time to lobby against our constitutional rights.

Scott Walker defies gravity, will sign two new gun rights bills

Well said with the list in comment #35. It's distraction propaganda.
