Republicans, who generally support the legislation, greeted the president with cheers using the bill’s acronym — “TPA, TPA!”

Lesser evil, and all that jive...

I favor relaxation of trade restrictions, but if he wants to put it in those terms .....

It's a secret bill. That's reason enough to vote against it.

Obama is personally vested in it. That tells you how bad it truly is.

Sometimes a parliamentary system seems better. Obama would have to resign and a new government formed.

That should remove any doubt about whether or not any patriotic American should vote for this crap sandwich.

(*sigh*) As if people needed a reason to vote against it to begin with.

Not a problem. Considering everything that’s had his name on it has been a steaming pile, I’d vote nay.

A free market trading with an unfree market is not free trade.
  1. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war. …
Since this is one of the Communist goals listed in the Congressional record, how can it be a goal of the USA?

Hell, every Republican should vote against it for that reason alone.

My guess would be that in the final vote the Dems
will suddenly go along, much to the surprise of the
Repubs who were counting on them to block it.

Surprise, surprise, surprise!

“The trade deal they’re in danger of voting down is about him.”

Not America, not Americans and not even the “trad partner.” This is truly the mind of a tyrant.

Really? This is a policy position that the Current Occupant will stand by?

Will he accede to the outcome if the vote DOES go against his agenda?

There may be a trade agreement that benefits the territory that was once known as “the United States of America”, but the one being offered ain’t the ticket.

He sounds much more like a homecoming queen than a president. It’s all about him.

Obama is personally vested in it.

You only personally invest in something you expect
to provide a big return....to YOU.
