Looks like Overstock.com finally got to him:

And he's taking care of fellow Republicans who oppose Speaker Boehner's pro-Obama agenda.

That is very disappointing. Chaffetz must have an off-shore bank account with a big deposit in it for sponsoring this bill. He's sold his soul. And, passing that secret ObamaTrade bill soured me on any hope of undoing Obama's socialist agenda. We've been lied to and sold out. :~(

Wow, way to go repubs. One more reason to not trust either party. Can't believe they are trying to hard to push the new trade bill, haven't done much on the front of disabling obamacare either. These guys suck.

I understand the temptation. Washington DC is literally awash with billions of dollars. Lots of money to corrupt the most honest and well intentioned. Ultimately, you have to put your blinders on and do what is best for the people, standing by correct principles - and the Constitution. What a novel concept.



The govt. is taking in record tax revenues. The govt does not need more money. They need to to be less wasteful, less corrupt, and wiser stewards. We all must operate on a budget. Why not the govt?



The latest foreign aid figures I could find was 2012 - the U.S. gave away $48.4 billion. That's a sizable pile of tax money flying out the door. Keep raising those taxes Jason.

After todays vote to pass the "Fast Track" power to Obama for Obama-Trade, I am done with the Republican Party. I will never support the Socialist Democrats. But McConnel and Boehner had complete control to flush Obama-Trade. Instead - because of them it will pass on Wed.



It will give Obama unprecedented powers to negotiate trade deals and immigration and environmental commitments that we do NOT understand. Why? Because the whole deal was done under under shrouded secrecy. Secrecy and deceit was how this passed - just like ObamaCare. This bill circumvents the Constitution. It is inconceivable that Congressional GOP leadership was the driving force behind this. It has compromised our Separation of Powers and compromised our sovereignty as an independent nation. I am now an Independent Fiscal Conservative. Buh-bye GOP. The Constitution is truly hanging by a thread. The tipping point is here.



Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) is a hero IMHO who tried to shine the light of truth and transparency on this secret legislation, slow it down, and wake the GOP up. His effort failed - but his effort was valiant.



SEN. SESSIONS: SLOW FAST-TRACK NOW, BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE



Fast-Track, or Trade Promotion Authority, will receive a final cloture vote in the Senate on Tuesday morning. This is the bill that passed the House. If cloture is invoked, the bill will pass the Senate and go to the President’s desk.



More than four weeks have passed since the Senate first voted on whether to grant the Executive six years of fast-track authority. In that time, an enormous amount has been discovered about how the President plans to use this authority – information that was either not known or understood when the vote was held. This includes the Administration’s pledge to use the agreement to impose “environmental governance.”



It has become increasingly clear that the President’s Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is far more than a trade deal. It forms an enduring, self-governing political entity with vast regulatory power. Yet fast-track – which has led without fail to the adoption of every covered agreement since its inception – would rush it through with less legislative scrutiny than a Post Office reform bill.

Reagan found a governing coalition in the form of Congressional Democrats who came to be known as Reagan Democrats.



Obama has found his Obama Republicans.

Sickening event unfolding. Obama (with his republican friends) mocking the american public who are unfortunately too STUPID to even care about this. What is truly funny about this is it absolutely destroys the republican party as it will provides more and more influence to the immigrants who will almost invariably vote democrat.



This country is (was) done for. Good bye America as we know it.



Financial crisis with more unelected WORLD order power grabs coming soon.... count on it.

Why is this legal???

Well duh, why would legislation legislate laws prohibiting lining of their own pockets....

Agreed that the Country is done for. Too bad that the Republicans could not have produced the first black president. Then we would not have a public so blinded by skin color, that they could not see Obama's crimes against the Constitution, his designs against individual freedom. It's also too bad that Republican leadership has wilted before this assault on American liberty.



Obama is not an evil genius. Evil, yes, but the man can barely tie his own shoes. He has one skill, and that is ability to orate what ever tripe is fed to his teleprompter. So he is a useful idiot for the entourage of communists that promoted him. He is their marionette on stage.



The communist entourage has stacked the electorate against Republican chances of ever winning another election. They did it with train loads of illegals, and with finely honed skills in the practice of election fraud.



They have stacked NASA with stooge "scientists" that did the unthinkable in 2014. They fraudulently altered the temperature record. They didn't want to be undone by an eighteen year cooling trend, so they falsified the past to make an unusually cold year look like the warmest year ever by a few hundredths of a degree. The AGW fraud has become a ram rod for these communists, and far too valuable to their cause to let it go just because it is constantly refuted by reality.



What to do? It might be best to move to a state whose people still "cling to their guns and their religion." A state whose people do not believe the communist lie: "You didn't build that." And hopefully, a state with a National Guard that will remain loyal to that state's sovereignty. Yeah, the Country is done for unless it is fought for.



Freedom may endure in a fragmented portion of what was once a great Union. Perhaps the "Fly-Over States" will, once they are on their own, again become a great power of industry and manufacturing, with world leading food production capacity, while the Communist State's of America dwindle in poverty. Is this the hope of our future?

I personally believe the GOP could have easily had the 1st Black Pres. and the 1st female Pres. if Condoleeza Rice had agreed to be Mitt Romney's VP running mate. I also believe Romney would have won the 2012 election with C. Rice as his VP.



It's my understanding his campaign approached Condoleeza - and she said no. After 8 years in Washington DC, she had enough. It's a shame. I'm a big fan of Condoleeza. I was also disappointed Romney lost. The country and the world are suffering as a result.

Definitely agree. Romney would have reversed some of the most egregious Obamisms before the concrete on them had set. There would have been no Obamacare and no trainloads of disease ridden gangster children, no amnesty for IRS oppression of free speech, no criminal alteration of the temperature record by Goddard Institute climatologist goons, no international trade powers to punish the U.S. for past success, no Eric Holder travels to stir up racial hatred against white cops, no amnesty for Benghazi lies and cover-up, no U.S. Fed infiltration of Israeli politics to campaign against Netanyahu, no embarrassing boycotts of Netanyahu visits to Washington, no illegal Nuke deals with Iran terror regime........ The list seems to go on forever, as to what Romney could have spared us from.
