I am all set for life financially. But my children, grand children, friends, relatives, etc. are mostly middle class. So are most Americans. My loyalties will always go to people around me rather than myself.

FYI: Here are the GOP presidential candidates (alphabetical order) who OPPOSE Obamatrade:

Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina, Mike Huckabee, Bobby Jindal, Rand Paul, Rick Santorum, Donald Trump.

If True, above candidates are patriots, and care for the middle class. All others are sellouts to their rich benefactors. Thanks for your informative and prescient post.

Did Marco Rubio vote for this bill?
Did Ted Cruz vote for this bill?
Did Rand Paul vote for this bill?

Uhm, no, none of them voted for the bill. None of them voted on it at all, because the vote was in the house, and the three guys you listed are senators.

You are welcome, and if you look it up, you will find it to be true.

I’m not sure if all of them are sell-outs, but the ones who are not, aren’t very wise on this issue. And I’ll be watching them more closely on other issues.

Ever read the Communist Manifesto?
… (T)he first step in the revolution by the working class is to raise the proletariat to the position of ruling class to win the battle of democracy.
Marxists have touted “democracy” as their tool for gaining supreme power for 167 years thus far.

See, no, they won’t.

they didn’t get the message when they held few seats.

It does not work this way. They do not get the message. If they get the message, they ignore the message.

Here it is (I think):

I am pleasantly surprised my own congressman voted against it. He must have gotten a lot of constituent input because he was on the fence about it.

I don't see that. Seems to make no difference to these guys if they are in a majority, minority, voted in, voted out. I think many of them---like Portman of OH, or Toomey of PA---lose a house race or senate primary and just come back next cycle and maybe get lucky (as both did).

I don't have the answer. The Tea Party---NOT the establishment---put in Cruz Ernst, Ayotte, Toomey, Cotton, and two or three other of these guys. Then they support Zero. Don't know what more we can do.

Thanks. Great. If there is poverty to be witnessed in this life, it seems mostly to be a poverty of contentment. Not only are we often discontent with out own lot in life, we look out and become discontent with other people’s lot in life, too, whether they are rich, poor, or middle class. A great deal of agitation derives from such an outlook. That’s Marx’s bag, and a lot of folks love to feed from it.

Thanks for the link to the votes. I’m shocked that my RiNO Rep voted against it. I know he received LOTS of calls from me/friends.

We need to put the heat on EVERY Rep, this coming week, to vote NO....FWIW.

Big bump to what you said.

We have a year and a half, of America being in the governance of a weak but very ambitious president, and a huge passle of “republicans” who are ready, nay who are enthused by the thought of selling out America.

Democrats are the only thing which stopped this grand scheme this time. There will be a number of more attempts to pass some sort of outragious bill such as this, in the remaining year and a half of Obama’s term.

Obama, and RINOs.

I never would have thought, our own side was such a huge problem.

My standing rule of thumb is that “anything Obama is FOR, I am vehemently AGAINST.” I don’t care what it is.

Further, to have a RINO Congressional Leadership Cabal that actively colludes with him so that they can advance their goals (whatever they are) is nothing short of treason in my opinion.

There is nothing so urgent about any of this that it cannot wait 18 months, or 4 more years after that for that matter.

That’s exactly what I’ve been saying, FRiend...over and over.

This weekend/week, I’ll be repeating it to friends, family, co-workers, etc....and for them to call DC...FWIW.

I hear Ted Cruz’ campaign office has been inundated with angry calls.
