Two Members of Boehner’s Leadership Team Openly Refuse to Admit if They’ve Read Obamatrade
Breitbart ^ | 06/04/15

Posted on 06/04/2015 4:12:35 PM PDT by Enlightened1

Two members of House GOP leadership—Majority Whip Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA)and Rules Committee chairman Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX)-refused to admit through spokespersons to Breitbart News whether they have read the text of the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) Pacific Rim trade deal, but they still support granting President Barack Obama the Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) to fast track it.

What’s more, Scalise and Sessions—and others GOP conference-wide, including even perhaps Boehner—could be vulnerable to serious primary challenges if they continue forward with Obamatrade.

“Two Members of Boehner’s Leadership Team Openly Refuse to Admit if They’ve Read Obamatrade”

I guess we can take that as a “NO”?

Just think this is what the Republicans call “leadership” in the House of Representatives.

Obviously the majority of the elected Republicans are happy with Boehner in charge.

1) Remember the Republican leadership is promising to keep the Socialist plan of Obamacare alive if the Supreme Court strikes down parts or all of Obamacare

2) The Republicans say little to nothing about the open borders. It's only debated on talk radio.

3) The Republicans are for expanding government instead of shrinking it.

4) Many of the Republicans want a 1984 Police State.

Conservatives NO LONGER HAVE A VOICE in the Republican party.

I think the only purpose of the Republican party now is to block conservatives. For the most part the Republican party is going to push the hard radical leftist Obama agenda.

Stick a fork in the Republicans they are done!

A refusal means no they have not read it.

Woooo....scaaary...

They've gone ahead with Obamacare, they've gone ahead with Obamamnesty, they've gone ahead with ObamaLynch and Homobama Marriage, not to mention NSA spying.

Why would anyone think a free trade agreement will alter the charge of the RINOs?

Plus, maybe worst of all, they are dead set on going ahead with helping the Iranian Mullahs develop nuclear weapons intended to destroy Iran and perhaps the U.S.

We are screwed.

They don’t want to say whether they read it or not, so that they can later claim that they didn’t know about parts of it, dealing with China, what Obama has to give away to get China to buy the sub-bituminous coal from the Powder River Basin, because it will benefit no one except a few mining companies and a Warren Buffet and will hurt a lot more people than it helps.

Isis and other terrorist groups are simply not paying attention. They don’t have to do anything. We are busy destroying ourselves, and our legislators are leading the charge.

In 2014 we were told that we had to come out and support the Republicans in order to stop Obama. In 2015 all we've seen is Republicans coming out to stop Conservatives in order to support Obama. Anyone on board to support the Republicans in keeping Congress in 2016?

The scarier scenario is that their refusal to answer the question means they have read it and are completely in the tank for it. Long live Big Brother.

Well, look on the bright side. When the U.S. Is destroyed, these power hungry bastards lose all their power.

Good Grief!! Do you not pay attention? Calpublican, your priorities are messed up.

#1 for national security is Global Warming!

#2 is the rights for LGBT.

Well, at least that's what I keep hearing BHO say.
