My father-in-law sits on the central bank board in Indonesia.

I know exactly what the TPP is. Cruz is selling us out. Me? Covered my bases. I dont have to retire either to the US or live on dollars. Somebody needs to say no to that deal and fast or the last of our few mfg jobs left can be kissed goodbye.

All these people care about is that Cruz "stands with Israel" as if that's going to feed their kids and pay their bills in a few years. Bleh

"For Cruz, this supposed middle ground includes supporting McCain's fellow hawk Joe Lieberman for defense secretary; introducing a bill to strip Americans accused of terrorism of their citizenship without due process; and wanting to grow the already enormous and wasteful Pentagon budget."

If this is true, no way I will vote for him.

On the left, you have socialism; on the right, you have fascism. Both will kill you.

Oh, so Ted Cruz supports this? How can anyone support this? Anyone with half a brain knows this is not good for the American worker and family!

Re: Sen. Ted Cruz Makes It Official

The office of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) told HuffPost that he generally supports free trade deals, but will have to see what's included in Obama's final TPP agreement.

Re: Sen. Ted Cruz Makes It Official

Congress Shouldn’t Trust Obama to Negotiate Trade Deals

Now Obama wants TPA to negotiate new agreements, but many members of Congress simply don’t trust him to put U.S. interests first. All the deals he has cut, for example with China on CO2 emissions and climate change, indicate he embraces left-leaning ideas that place the burden for fixing the world’s woes disproportionately on American backs, and he is inclined to give away the store.

Democrats and Republicans in Congress have made clear that the proposed Trans Pacific Partnership, which would liberalize trade with 11 Pacific Rim nations including Japan, makes no sense without a clear and enforceable discipline on currency manipulation. Yet the Administration’s TPP website lists 17 key issue areas—currency policies are nowhere to be found.

The administration offers outlandish claims that are more fantasy than fact.
It asserted the proposed TPP would increase exports $124 billion and boost employment 650,000. The more likely figure for that amount of exports is about 100,000 and only if it is accompanied by no additional imports—and no trade deal would ever deliver such a one-way gain.

No surprise, 150 of 188 Democratic members of the House have signed letters opposing Trade Promotion Authority—and they know Obama’s negotiating instincts and veracity as well as anyone.

The problem is obama, who campaigned on the promise to have the most open and transparent administration in US history, is again breaking that promise and refusing to release any details until after the deal is made. So Cruz isn't going to see what's included until it's too late.

Re: Sen. Ted Cruz Makes It Official

Cruz's Expatriate Terrorist Act is exactly the type of thing Sen. Rand Paul spoke against on the floor of the Senate during his filibuster when he stated:

Quote:
“In our country, even if you are a terrible person, if you are murderer or a rapist, you are accused, but then you’re given a chance to confront your accusers. The burden is on the government.”
Cruz's ETA, which thankfully died in the Senate, wanted to strip anyone suspected of going to fight along side of iSIS. It required less proof than the standard "beyond reasonable doubt." Besides this, aiding and abetting the enemy is already covered in our laws. It's called Treason.
