These are legitimate issues that should be addressed in the actual text of TPA with enforceable provisions, not currently included in TPA. Instead, Chairman Ryan is promising that their concerns will be addressed in a future customs bill the Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act. The customs bill is completely separate from TPA, and even if these concerns are addressed, it will be conferenced with the Senate where conservatives are unlikely to win. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that President Obama will sign the customs bill, even if it passes the House and the Senate. These promises will only serve to garner TPA enough votes; they will not affect the final agreement. Pew Research Center recently released a poll stating 75 percent of the Republican-leaning public want Republicans in Congress to challenge Obama more often. Instead, Republican Leadership is intent on running roughshod over conservative principles to achieve President Obamas top priority in the name of free trade.
In other words, they have the language of immigration in the TPA bill, but promise they'll change it down the road in another bill.
Not very likely.
Paul Ryan is morphing into a bigger snake-in-the-grass than Eric Cantor was...and that’s saying something.
Machinations of masked men, morons, marxists ALERT!
Remember when we were told how staunchly “conservative” he was?
People like Paul Ryan are the reason the republicans are going to go the way of the whigs.
He is self-destructing
Ryan is padding his bank account. That’s what its all about now.
Ah, yes. And that he hid in the woods to meet Romney with his stealth hunting skillz. I fell for that shit, too.
Bingo! He will be “Cantored” next year.
This monstrosity morphs into o-bomba care part two every day that goes by. Remember Stupack and the ban on tax payer abortion?? Of course we do!! No dice you elite POS’s WTP have had enough of the traitors who reside in DC. The time is near to take back our country.
It is sad. I had very high hopes for him and he is sliding into irrelevance.
If he loses his base, he will have no support at all.
Between voting for secret trade agreements and increasing H1B visas, it is clear that he is making his bed with the Corporatists. He can't out Bush the Bushes. Given the choice between Bush and Cruz, the big money will go with Bush. The base will sit out another meaningless election.
...In an interview with American Public Medias Marketplace, President Obama says fast-tracking the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade bill would help him advance his climate change agenda, which he said is one of my highest priorities.
During the interview with host Kai Ryssdal of Marketplace, Obama said, If we want to solve something like climate change, which is one of my highest priorities, then Ive got to be able to get into places like Malaysia, and say to them, this is in your interest.

GOPE running interference for Obama
“Lesser evil” supporting big evil
Who saw that coming? lol.
Where do you find Republicans who aren’t ashamed to be?
This is going to sink Cruz. Poor judgment is poor judgment. I just listened to Jeff Sessions on Mark Levin’s show. This trade bill is a complete sellout of our country to some EU like commission driven by climate change. Thanks Ted.
You’re so correct in that assessment. I trust Ryan ZERO.
He has found a way to alienate me.
The Whigs were only around for about 23 years, it isn’t like they were a ancient party, like the GOP.
Ya can never trust a TARPer.
Congress currently passes LOOSE CANNONS.. swinging to and fro across the ship of State.. The Justice Dept.... is a circle jerk..
The only ones that MAY be prosecuted is the GOOD GUYS..
The BAD Guys are Free to be anti-legal..
The entire Executive Branch agencies are connected to the “Don”.. and “Capos”..
Obama makes offers that cannot be refused..
And any that don’t like it.. WILL get a visit..
