I’m ignorant of the TPA, so I don’t make snap judgments regarding those who take positions on it. I suspect it has pros and cons, like just about any sausage that comes out of DC, but you’re so bent on emotion you might was well go whole hog. Hair-trigger idiocy. Who taught you that? Do you believe everything you read and hear?

Just how do you think he became a multi-millionaire lawyer at such an early age?

Most likely through study and hard work. Have you checked into it, or are you so in love with the Mouthy Hair it doesn't matter what is true?

Oh yeah, I remember watching the Cruz folks twist into knots over that one.

It's because these PAC's are corrupt to the core and all the PAC insiders are PO'd at Trump for rubbing this in their faces. Now everyone knows these criminal PAC's are just another way to manipulate elections.

Yes, as a matter of fact. Cruz only worked in PRIVATE practice for two years.

Let's start with the facts.

1. Cruz voted for the Trade Promotion Authority bill.

2. Cruz was chided for the vote by grass root conservatives

3. Cruz went to the floor of the senate and castigated McConnell saying that he was lied to after he started taking heat.

Now, I do not know the reasoning behind his vote, be it payback to corporate supporters or ignorance of what is in the bill. Regardless, he voted for its' passage.

These facts are not based on emotion, "hair-trigger idiocy", or whatever else you can use to describe criticism of his vote. He, in so much as saying that he was lied to, tacitly admitted that he voted the wrong way. Going back to my previous post, he either didn't read the bill and know what was in it (ignorance) or shifted his stance because he started to take heat. It is not emotion to realize that he made the wrong choice and tried to explain it away with the excuse that he was "suckered". It is emotional to overlook this example because one's emotional investment in him.

Here is the fact: unless you have studied and understand the bill yourself, you have no basis on which to criticize anyone associated with it, including whatever actions they may have taken on on it and subsequently retracted.

No, when a pol changes his mind and screams that he was lied to as an excuse for backing it, I will say something. This indicates that he is either lazy, or naive, or slimy. None of the traits that I want in my president.

CRUZ: TRUMP VOTERS HAVE ‘LOW INFORMATION’...
‘NOT THAT ENGAGED’...

He’s right.

Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong! Ted Cruz voted against TPA.

Cloture vote

Final vote

Perhaps next time, you should start with the facts instead of repeating the lies of Trump supporters.

So, you sent 2 links for his vote on "A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to allow Federal law enforcement officers, firefighters, and air traffic controllers to make penalty-free withdrawals from governmental plans after age 50, and for other purposes."

Not sure how that is related to TPA, but here is my proof:

Ted Cruz changed position on Trade Promotion Authority

He wrote this editorial before voting for the first time ...

Putting Congress in Charge on Trade

If the links are too much, I got some excepts:

With negotiations on the Trans-Pacific Partnership in the works, fast-track was introduced for reauthorization on April 16, 2015, and set to a late May vote in the Senate. In anticipation of this vote, Cruz publicly urged Congress to vote in favor of fast-track authority.

On May 22, Trade Promotion Authority passed the Senate 62-37 with bipartisan support. Cruz was among the 48 Republicans and 14 Democrats who voted "yes."

On May 22, Trade Promotion Authority passed the Senate 62-37 with bipartisan support. Cruz was among the 48 Republicans and 14 Democrats who voted "yes."

Cruz was a supporter and voted in favor of TPA or fast-track when it was first put to a vote in May. Only a month later, Cruz issued an op-ed denouncing the additions of Export-Import Bank reauthorization and immigration laws, and then voted in opposition.

So, in summary. he was heartily for it and even co-authored a op-ed with Paul Ryan. He voted for it and it passed. It went to commitee and when it came back for final vote he voted against it. In between the first and second vote, what happened? My guess is a whole lot of heat from people wondering why he would vote for it.

Google, MicroSoft, and Apple combined have $300 billion in cash parked in offshore banks. If they were allowed to bring that money into the US tax free and invest that money (just as almost every other country in the world allows), tens of thousands of middle class jobs would be created.

Nope.

Microsoft, a couple o' years back, had a special $57 Billion (with a 'B') dividend payout; something like $3 / share.

You might think that such a thing proves their collective management genius; but rather the opposite.

When you buy stock in a company, you are saying that you trust the management of the company to make that money grow faster than anyone else you can think of. By giving the money back to stockholders, management was admitting they couldn't come up with any way to deploy that money and make it grow, that they had any confidence would actually work.

But remember, they have to hire H1-Bs because they can't afford to pay bloated American salaries: if they'd parked that $57 billion in highly rated State Bonds, (free of Fed taxes), they'd have pulled in a billion or two in free cash flow: enough to pay the American salaries directly. Without touching the principal, or affecting free cash flow from continuing operations.

BTW, did you see where one of these Silicon Valley places (Faceberg, maybe?) just paid all of their U.K. employees $1 million EACH as a bonus?

So you're right, I guess they have to import Third Worlders because they can't afford Americans. Hiring Indian worked *SO* well for Sun and for Hewlett-Patel, didn't it?

Endorsed by the failed CEO of HP. How many billion dollars did she lose again? Cruz really needs this albatross around his neck right now.
