Rolling Plunder – How Scott Walker and Paul Ryan Plan To Sell Out Wisconsin, and the Voters...

"Rolling Plunder – How Scott Walker and Paul Ryan Plan To Sell Out Wisconsin, and the Voters are Oblivious…" Wise Up and Rise Up Wisconsin

Well, given Paul Ryan’s full-throated endorsement and promotion for the Trans-Pacific Trade Deal (TPP), perhaps the Wisconsin working voter would like to see exactly what they have in mind for you. Remember, each of the aforementioned has also endorsed Senator Ted Cruz – who, not coincidentally, was the co-author of the Trade Promotion Authority bill (TPA) which was the vehicle to insure TPP’s passage.

Rather than go through all of the tentacles, and difficult to understand TPP construct, let’s instead use that wonderful Scott Walker (Harley Davidson motorcycle) example to show Wisconsin voters what’s really going on.

Representative Paul Ryan and Senator Ted Cruz created the legislative vehicle for The Trans-Pacific Trade Partnership, or TPP. The legislative vehicle for TPP is called Trade Promotion Authority, or TPA.

Both Ryan and Cruz were actually quite proud of TPA, until candidate Donald Trump made a campaign issue of the trade deal. Senator Cruz now claims he doesn’t support TPP.

Sen. Cruz cheated on his supporters, like myself,
by voting to allow the vote on ObamaTRADE because
1) he was paid off,
2) he was paid off,
3) he though he could get away with it,
4) HIS WIFE WAS PAID OFF.

Many though that since Paul Ryan was from Wisconsin that they might have a chance, but on election night the Republicans lost by around a seven-point margin. This was able to keep Wisconsin a Democratic state. Wisconsin has now not gone for a Republican since 1984.

“Merchants have no country. The mere spot they stand on does not constitute so strong an attachment as that from which they draw their gains.” - Thomas Jefferson.

That was true 200 years ago and it is true now. It is true not only of merchants, but of the politicians who are owned by them. Neither group has any loyalty, honor or character, which is why they get along so well, and why they are so willing to sell out America.

America First, F*#* the World!

Ryan and Walker are Wisconsin

Until you have made an accounting of benefits vs harm, how can you make the statements you did? Please provide us the ledger

Hey, here's a novel idea, how about you refute the facts for a change before you go to your knees in prayer for King Cruz?

I live in Wisconsin and if but a single vote will make a difference, my vote will certainly not go to Cruz.

32 years is a pretty good run for the ‘RATS in Wisconsin.

Ryan is a sell out and a loser and needs to be flushed like the RINO turd he is.

Cruz had to vote for TPP since his wife would lose her $800K job with Goldman Sachs if he didn’t. He may have been tricky about how he voted just like Iran, but he voted the way they wanted. Bush III will always vote the way they want.

Pray America wakes

Walker has lower approval ratings than Obama in Wisconsin. He is not Wisconsin. In fact, most people in Wisconsin hate his guts.

You don’t really expect this Cruzbot to respond with substance do you?

“Reagan puts 45% tariff on Japanese motorcycles”

Japanese bikes took America like a storm in the earliy 70’s. They were good bikes. Remember the Honda 750 - four cylinders inline, crosswise? British and German bikes suffered too. I had a Triumph Bonneville. I’m too chicken to buy another bike.

I don't ride, but I understand that Harleys don't come cheap. Not everyone who wants to ride a motorcycle can afford a Harley.

from the article: “How does this help the U.S. manufacturing of Harley Davidson? How does this help jobs here in the U.S.? How does this help the U.S. factory worker?”

Good questions but another good question: How does imposing tariffs, increasing the price of motorcycles, help the motor cycle rider? If the motor cycle rider spends more on motorcycles, then he has less to spend on other goods. How does this help jobs here in the US? How does this help the US factory worker?

Did you know that "Sundance," is actually a guy named Mark Ivor Bradman? He's got a long and notorious history of "getting it wrong". It's funny how so many people glom onto his opinion pieces.
