RUBIO CASTS DECIDING VOTE FOR OBAMATRADE WITHOUT EVEN READING IT

BigGovernment:

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) cast the deciding vote for Obamatrade on Tuesday as it squeeked through the U.S. Senate 60-37, and his Senate office is still outright refusing to answer whether he even knew what he was voting on.

Rubio, a Republican presidential candidate, was the deciding vote necessary for the U.S. Senate to clear the final 60-vote threshold and eventually, later this week, send to President Barack Obama’s desk the Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) bill that would fast-track at least three highly secretive trade deals that Obama has been negotiating for years.

TPA will, now that it’s going to pass, effectively ensure the congressional approval of the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA) and Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (T-TIP). The text of the TiSA and T-TIP agreements is currently entirely secretive, even to lawmakers on Capitol Hill and their staffs, though WikiLeaks did uncover several TiSA documents that leaked and prove the deal would surrender congressional power over U.S. immigration policy to the executive branch and perhaps to a newly created transnational entity.

  1. He may as well pack up and go home. He just killed his chances at POTUS.
    Of course, maybe he’s just running at the behest of the elitist R establishment to try to stop real conservatives by splitting the votes.

  2. there is not one candidate running for the office that would not sell out the American citizen in a new york minute if given the chance, republican or democrat. not one!

    there is no longer a “lesser of two evils” anymore!

    so who you going to vote for now?

  3. How loud can us grassroots get against well-funded politicians which have strings attached that most like work against our principles?
    Expect words like “progress”, “new way”, to be seeded in their speeches. Like where we came from is something to be ashamed of. It’s not.
    A polarizing rightward figure is what we want, and watch the true American spirit be re-aflamed!

  4. As far as I can tell Rubio went hard RINO last year. It was an abrupt change not something gradual. So I have to wonder what the DNC or the Obama camp found out something unsavory about him. Maybe got caught in a four way with Mitch McConnell, Caitlyn Jenner and a goat but in any event the conservative side of the GOP really need to push back on him and anyone that Jabba the Hut, Karl Rove is pushing.

    Why the f*ck can’t the damn GOP all get together to destroy Obama, Clinton and the rest of these progressive first then get down to the internecine warfare when the country is safer.
