“Senator Cruz would not and will not give President Obama one more inch of unrestricted power.”

Yeah, you can piss on my legs and tell me it’s raining, but that doesn’t mean I have to believe you.

I’m glad Cruz showed his true colors before I sent his campaign any money.

[CCGuy]

All lies and subterfuge.

TPA makes it far easier for Obama and other Traitors to shove TPP down our throat.

“Senator Cruz would not and will not give President Obama one more inch of unrestricted power”

And then he votes for legislation that surrenders power to Obama that takes away the Senate’s 60-vote cloture and takes away any member of congress’ right to offer amendments. It also allows Obama to betray again in secret. Something Cruz is obviously fine with.

This piece of trash article is the same kind of misinformation so many politicians now try to insult us with. They do something to us and then have the audacity to look us in the face and tell us they didn’t do what they just did.

Nothing that Cruz says after this can be believed. He is lost and completely discredited. Time to move on to the next candidate since we have eliminated this liar.

Excellent post and position, except:

“Does TPA give the President more authority? No.”

I don’t believe that. My understanding is that TPA gives 0bama the right to negotiate in as much anti-American language as he can get past the Senate in an up or down vote. No Amendments.

The TPA’s restriction against amendments EMPOWERS 0bama. So I think this part is disingenuous.

But I’m glad Cruz took the whole thing head-on. It’s an otherwise reasonable and (IMHO) unassailable position.

I’m still a supporter. I don’t see a better candidate. If this one bad judgment is the only black mark, Cruz is the best conservative there is.

I called my congressman today. Did you?

TPA sounds reasonable, but let’s pass it when there’s a Republican president in the whitehouse instead of the irreparably corrupt one we have now.

[WIBamian]

Screw Cruz. Screw Walker. Screw any politician that is willing to sell-out the middle-class of America to unelected, unaccountable technocrats.

ObamaTrade is Obamacare, but on a global level.

And it will be us poor taxpayers bearing the brunt of the costs worldwide!

And how many treaties that have been negotiated through “fast track” have been voted down? Zero. None. Zip. Zilch. Nada.

[Carry_Okie]

The big problem with the TPP is the up-or-down vote requiring only 50% of the House and Senate. It’s a treaty. That means it should be so unarguably in the interest of the United States that it would acquire the support of 2/3 of the Senate it should need. Passing any other mechanism for ratification should be held unconstitutional.

[TexasCajun]

I can't get over that if its so good, why is it so secretive, under lock & key in the basement?

Paul Ryan, mimicking Nancy Pelosi, "pass it to know what's in it."

-No Thanks-

[Enlightened1]

Whoever is giving Ted Cruz advice to vote for this will probably terminate his chances of getting the nomination.

Ted Cruz biggest base was the conservatives. Now he has turned on them.

The Republicans are probably going to force Bush boy on us.

It will be Bush vs. either Hillary or O’Malley.

The Democrats, with all their new immigrants voting multiple times along with the pissed off conservatives that will NOT VOTE for Bush, will create a landslide for the Democrats to the White House in 2016.

I have no doubt that Cruz will know this down the road.

[Mariner]

Really, is this what the Cruz sycophants are reduced to?

Simply deceptive propaganda.

Rah, Rah.

[Enlightened1]

The fact that OBAMA IS ORGASIMING OVER IT.. should make every conservative that’s for this pause

When Americans find out all that has been done to in this deal they are going to be beyond pissed.

Thanks for selling us out Ted Cruz!

You just lost my vote!

[Enlightened1]

Ted Cruz CERTAINLY is no Ronald Reagan.

[free_life]

TPA guarantees TPP and Cruz knows it and so does anyone else who has spent 10 minutes looking at this farce Americans are being fed by Obama and the GOP. Sessions has spoken the truth about this and only a few others like Paul.

[bert]

Hmmm... who’d a thunk so many FReepers could be so bad wrong?

[Impy]

Protectionist fear mongers who side with the majority of liberals against the majority of conservatives aren’t interested in facts.

I expect this thread to bring out the “Cruz isn’t natural born” freaks.

[firebrand]

Everyone keeps stating things that we already know. These things are supposed to be comforting. They are part of the PLOT—yes, I’m not afraid to say it.

Patton, you are wrong on this. And Cruz saying the trade act should be viewable is wiggling to get out of the backlash to his reprehensible vote in the Senate.

You cannot have an invisible bill and then fast track, even with the PROMISED viewing period. There will be too much pressure to approve it. It’s not fair, and we won’t stand for it.
