In my view, this is a one of the best explanatory accounts of what happened today in Congress in regard to the trade issue. It's an insightful piece.

Pelosi is already signalling that she and the Rats will support the bill if the GOP gives her a huge new highway bill. The Rats still control the House and Senate.

Evil never takes a holiday. This monstrous Bill will be back with even more pork and “surprises.”

But the GOP-e has proven that it can govern and that’s all that really matters. Right?

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

If they did, they go immediately to the bottom of my preference list for 2016 presidential nomination. Whoever voted yes sold out the middle class, and bowed deep to their rich benefactors.

Shame on Paul Ryan, McConnell & Bohner for pushing this monstrosity.

“For example, in addition to the privacy threats exposed by Forbes writer Emma Woollacott, Breitbart reporter Alex Swoyer reveals that “technically any Republican voting for Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) that would fast-track trade deals like the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal would technically also be voting to massively expand President Obama’s executive authority when it comes to immigration matters [emphasis added].”

Never give the LA Slime credit. Their intent in anything they publish is not truth, but to promulgate their leftist agenda. Never let the truth get in the way of your agenda should be their motto. A saying I coined back in the nineties.

Ok, I don’t know if I like this trade deal or hate this trade deal. But I stand behind one idea. If you can’t show it to the people, then I hate it.

The whole point of democracy or a republic is that the people get to be informed about the people making the decisions and the laws they are passing. If you can’t show it to us. Then someone is trying to get around democracy.
