Obama trade bill revived after bipartisan deal sets new votes
The Washington Times ^ | 5/13/15

Posted on 05/13/2015 1:07:30 PM PDT by Enlightened1

The trade deal was back on track Wednesday afternoon, just a day after hitting the skids in a Democratic filibuster, after leaders struck a bipartisan agreement to move forward.

Democratic senators lost their bid to have four trade-related bills combined into a single measure, but did secure the chance to have votes related to all four bills, giving them the platform they wanted.

Keep in mind they the TPP from the public and the Senate will pass it anyway. This is even though they are a not allowed to see it.

Remember the Republican majority will pass this bill even though it's hidden from the public.

The republican, are giving ,,,,Obama,,,, authority to negotiate trade deals, in secret.

Remind me again why I bothered to vote in November? And im for Cruz, but I understand even he is for it? Can anyone confirm for sure his position on this?

Why doesn’t the GOP just pass a law that anything Obama wants to do is ok, and that he can create law by decree? We could call it maybe,,,, an “enabling act”.

You know, I'm starting to favor Walker over Cruz because he doesn't have the moral handicap of an Ivy League education.

The Republicans are completely sold out lock, stock and barrel.

How many times do conservatives have to get $crewed by the Republican party before they leave and create a new party???

THAT... is the question.

FTGOP!

I'm watching DVDs of the Walking Dead. This bill reminds me of that - you thought it was dead and suddenly it jumps up and starts biting everyone around.

I don’t know why NAFTA is called “free trade” because a coworker had to pay a $400 duty to get a piece of test equipment into Mexico. What is “free” about that?

Are republicans secretly working to ensure a Hillary presidency by intentionally trying to alienate the voters who gave them a big win last November?

If they are not doing that intentionally they are doing a good job of it accidentally.

Sounds expensive. It would need an expenditure bill to cover town criers, uniforms, trumpets and parchments. Town criers to be unionized, with pensions, and health care (exempt from 0bamacare of course).

The names of almost all bills over the last 10 years is the opposite of what it does.

And the more innocent or high sounding the name, the more sinister the intent.

Notice that it is Obama and the media that want this as the media is not covering it.

This power would allow Obama to flood the USA with hundreds of millions of 3rd world immigrants:

I will go instead with what Senator Jeff Sessions has to say on this: Sen. Jeff Sessions: Top Five Concerns With Trade Promotion Authority

http://www.conservativehq.com/node/20233

Well worth reading, Senator Sessions speaks truthfully, as he always does.

This is a trojan horse from the monster Barack Obama, a trojan horse meant to destroy America

I hope Obama gets defeated on this trade deal. It would have allowed UNRESTRICTED immigration into the USA, proof:

Republican voters passed that act last November. They were told by the Republicans that they intended to work with obama if given the house and senate BEFORE THE ELECTION.

Republican voters got what they voted for. Ergo they have no right to complain.

Exactly.... this coffin nail is as much about "free trade" as DeathCare was about "Patient Protection and Affordable Care."

(Only tiny silver lining is that hopefully crap like this wakes more people up to what the h3ll is going on up there!)

Yeah he's for it too.

This trade bill is a trojan horse to destroy America.

1. Gives Obama more power.
2. Allows unrestricted immigration from the 3rd world into
the USA
3. Obama will use this power to flood the USA with hundreds of millions of 3rd world immigrants.

IMO this bill would be the final nail in the coffin of America and freedom.. It's THAT BAD.

With Obama beginning to control the Internet on June 12 and with this the total destruction of America will happen in a few years as this OBama monster intended.
