It is well past time for the people who “represent us” to explain to us what is in this bill. . . . and to do so BEFORE they vote on it.
Yep. After seeing his squirrelly Op-Ed with Ryan, I actually put the question to him on his Facebook page, and two of his staffers responded in a back-and-forth exchange spouting McConnell-issued GOP-E talking points about how Congress would somehow have a say in TPP if TPA was passed.
Their disingenuous and dishonest responses really shook my faith in Cruz.
This trade agreement is a disaster and rightfully so. More “sign here now read it later” they just don’t get it. Any candidate who is for it is OUT in my books, may as well just be Hilary if this SH*T is what the GOP is gong to shove down our throats too. The lack of foresight is horrible here…they must have known that after Obamacare we wouldn’t react well to another secret “read later” kind of thing. Can anyone tell me if ANY of the GOP candidates is against this thing???
Well this trade deal has me rethinking Cruz and the Gay fund raisers.
Why would gay activists throw a fund raiser for Cruz given Cruz’s stance against gay marriage? It doesn’t make sense. I just wonder if Cruz was a plant. Say conservative things and then do what you want once you get elected.
Cruz is dead to me. Anyone backing this traitorous bill will not get my vote for anything ever again. I will work my tail off for their opponents.
Keep in mind free trade means open borders. Most jobs are now service jobs, not production. Free trade in a service job means importing the waiter, taxi driver, teacher, cook etc the boss wants from anywhere in the world. I.E. not you. This is what TTIP is about.
It’s over for Americans.
I listened to Mike Savage call Ted Cruz a “weasel” for his support of Obamatrade. Marco Rubeo was called “slippery” and owned by billionaire car dealer Norman Braman.
My friend tried to contact one of Ted Cruz’s aids about his support of Obamatrade and got no response. Actions speak louder than words and these politicians are digging their own political grave.
“Enjoy the Mitt Romney clone they dredge up for you to throw away your vote on.”
I can tell you what I’m not enjoying, ... the Obama regime that you and your ilk sicked on all of us in this country by your lack of support for the Pub candidate in the last Prez election. You obiously choose to ignore the consequences of your actions.

Kind of how they were for the appeal of Obamacare if we voted in a GOPe Senate. Make that a GOPe president. What, the Supreme Court might help repeal it? We can’t have that—now the GOPe wants to undo such a partial appeal with new legislation.
They have so gamed the system that even the most conservative of the 15 presidential candidates they are putting up, Ted Cruz, is for amnesty and more of these trade abominations.
(While we’re looking at the sources of Hillary’s income, we might as well notice the report 45M that Cruz’s household has taken in from Goldman Sachs.)
FYI.... I went down and dutifully voted a straight Republican ticket like I always do including the fraud Mitt Romney who you probably loved. the time before it was McPain. I voted for Bush twice and voted for both Bush 41 and voted Bob Dole. I’ve never voted for a dem in my life since my first go’ round in 1980 when I was proud to vote for Ronald Reagan. So what’s this crap about my “ilk”. Your’ postings to me come off as pretty rude seeing as how you don’t know anything at all about me. I’ll put my conservative creds up against yours any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
This stupid argument comes around every election. People like you saying if you don’t vote for this enemy of America then you’re supporting this bigger enemy of America. Look what electing a majority of Rs in both houses of Congress has gotten us last go round. We now have the republicans with majorities who seem to be supporting and funding every single thing this bastard of a wannabe despot is foisting on us. It got us stabbed in the back and right through the heart.
Do you want to go down the status quo road and elect Jeb Bush? If so, I feel sorry for you that you don’t understand what’s at stake and must not know what true Constitutional conservatism is and what it should always stand for. It’s worth fighting for, but I’m NOT voting for Bush or Huck or any other Rinos. Been there done that. There has to be a better way and I’m gonna find it if I can.
Both parties in Congress are more than happy to relinquish their few remaining powers to the executive; it makes reelection so much easier. When completed, we'll have a legal tyranny.
It is way past time to reform our institutions, and return them to their designed republican purposes. That reform will not emerge from Washington, DC.
It can only happen if we the people assert our sovereignty and press for an Article V state amendments convention to refederalize the government, and divide power once again between the states and the government they created.
Article V before we can't.
If states rights and a republican form of govt cannot be restored then I think it may be time for some of the red states to secede. What we’re looking at now is tyranny and free people don’t lay down for tyrants. I know I won’t.
Cruz’s wife’s connection to Goldman Sachs always gave me a bad feeling.
Oh and BTW, I’m completely in favor of an article v convention and sooner NOT later.
The GOP was already dead to me, but its grave is now completely frozen over.
I’m done with Cruz...
Now it’s down to the seven listed above....unless Sessions decides to run. He has done the heavy lifting on this mess. TPA and TPP have become my line in the sand...Cruz tripped over it and fell face first for the NWO CRAP. He sold the Tea Party out.
There was a time when i thought Paul Ryan and Jeb Bush were great republicans.
Boy was i wrong.
I’ve been a long time Cruz supporter...but this TPP/TPA crap is making me wonder if there are any honorable conservatives.
I believed a Cruz/Carly ticket would be a winner and a team that could begin chopping down Big Fedzilla, deport the 40+ million illegals invading America and return America to a Constitutional Republic.
The GOPe foisted another milquetoast candidate on us so them them.
