Eloquently stated.

You voice my frustrations too.

If you think calling them matters, you may be in denial.

Corporations get the savings, taxpayers get to foot the bill for the unemployed. See how this works?

I have read the Congressman’s op-ed. I also just read the Cruz/Ryan op-ed in the Wall Street Journal. My opinion? It’s all crap. This bill is SECRET. What else do you need to know? Their argument is basically a whole bunch of double-talk, which comes down to: “trust us, we’ll make things better”. Do you trust them? I do not, and that includes Cruz. If this is such a great deal, why is it not public? I did not see that in either op-ed. I think that speaks for itself.

Yes we must pass this now because we have such an awesome negotiator in the White House. What could possibly go wrong?

Why does this sound just like a Nigerian email scam? “Show good faith by giving me your bank account number then I will send King Zuba’s vast fortune to it.”

LOL! I am laughing so I don’t cry at this mass betrayal of America by the Republicans.

Listening to Ted Cruz tell me how its important to give a Muzzie lovin commie authority to wheel and deal trade agreements without the oversight of Congress is surreal. Its not like they want to give it to Ronald Reagan who you could at least trust. But no Barack Obama who has been trying to destroy our country for 6 years. The guy who is currently negotiating the Nuclear surrender deal with Iran.

All these republican morons will be in shock when half the republican voters just sit home in 2016 and the Democrat sails to victory.

So Kenny, if TPP is so great, then why is it in a vault under lock and key and has a provision requiring further secrecy for another five years after it is signed?

No thanks.

With TPA, Congress has greater influence over trade agreements, and U.S. negotiators hold a stronger position to secure a good deal for American producers, consumers and workers.

The GOP-E lie of the week.

“lead on trade, or get left behind.”

“Eat s**t, or get left behind”.

Equivalent logic.

Anyone remember the phrase, "giant sucking sound" ?

So, how's that NAFTA stuff working out ? Why would this crap be any better instead of much worse ?

My congress critter is a pretty good guy, Paul Gosar. He has been with me on every issue of consequence. I call and write his office periodically. While he does not possess a dynamic personality he is a very good congressman. Can’t say the same for my former congress critters, Burnie Sanders then Peter Welch. I have encouraged him to run against McCain for senate. I think he could win. Presently we have a couple of fellows running against McCain maybe more as I haven’ t focused on that race just yet. One of the guys is pretty good as I recall and either would be a great improvement over McCain. McCain will never get my vote in the primary. Have a good weekend Freeper. I am going to check out the Dino’s this week end.

That is why TPA is essential. It puts Congress – not the administration – in charge of trade negotiation objectives. It sets clear transparency requirements and makes agreements available for public review. And it shows our trading partners that America can be trusted....

This makes about the 10th time today that someone has tried to piss on my leg and tell me it's raining.
