Looks like the Republicans are pushing forward to fast track TPP (NAFTA, Representatives)

LOL....I almost feel dirty posting a fox news link...Normally I wouldn't but the hilarity of seeing Fox report it makes me laugh a bit.

Forty-nine of the Senate's 54 Republicans and 13 of the 44 Democrats voted yes in the procedural ballot,

The VAST majority of Republicans are pushing this forward, while only about 30% of Democrats have been bought off too.

So, who on the Republican side can look at this and cheer it on here? Are your representatives representing you, or corporations?

The maddening part is that conservatives insist that President Obama is abusing executive power, yet when given a chance to check his lawless executive power in waging War or this TPP deal, conservatives gave nothing to say.

Republicans are more to blame on this one, but defending either side is insanity. Remember how much Obama seems to want this disastrous deal.

Yeah. Thats what thought.

Corporations are people, my friend.

When the sheep heard Willard say this, they all nodded in unison.

You know there is something wrong with TPP when Obama has overwhelming Republican support, and his own party is against it.

Politicians cannot be trusted, and the impatience displayed to get this fast-tracked is yet another example of why.

Are you forgetting that Obama asked for this ? Obama wants this more than anything because he wants this a done deal before he's out.

The irony is NOT lost on me.

I can see it now..Clinton signed NAFTA and yet people blame the Repubs.

Oh no, *I* blame Clinton for that one. I think it was the worst mistake of his presidency.

But thats a nice attempt to change the topic there.

And yeah...painful irony.

I guess we have found the one thing right wingers in Congress seem to agree with Obama on. The one time I was hoping they would disagree with him just because it is Obama.....thanks Republicans, you let me down.

Maybe if we outsourced health care insurance to the Chinese, the Republicans would support that too.
