How messed up is the Republican leadership and how desperate are they to please their corporate masters? The answer to both questions is the same; very. There’s another question that needs to be asked as well: Does anybody smell a rat?

It was all a little odd last Friday when, in spite of an overwhelming show of opposition to TPP being demonstrated through the decisive failure of TAA, the Republican leadership was still able to pass TPP in what appeared at the time to be a meaningless and pointless gesture. TPP had already been put into a subordinate position to TAA, and since TAA was voted down, TPP went down with it. But we’ve seen theatrical performances out of this Congress before.

Now comes the inevitable revival effort in which all pretenses of responsible legislative action are discarded in the pursuit of naked political gain. The two “Representatives” who have positioned themselves atop the treasonous trash pile, John Boehner (R-OH) and Paul Ryan (R-WI) are revealing a new scheme to persuade Democrats to violate their rarely-used consciences and join in the treacherous orgy of rape and bondage they are unleashing upon the American people.

TAA is Trade Adjustment Assistance, a sanitized way of saying welfare for those put out of work by these trade agreements and the replacement of American workers with foreigners. If these deals are so wonderful, why is something like this needed or even a part of the discussion? According to our force-feeders, we’ll all be fat and happy if they are given what they want. Could they be lying?

The Democrats supposedly voted down TAA as a means of killing TPP but then allowed TPP, which created a convoluted method by which a subsequent vote could take place to once again overturn and overrule the will of the people. The two-headed snake of Boehner Ryan is working to schedule that second vote on TAA for Monday or Tuesday. Exposing their lack of convictions, Boehner and Ryan have proposed to pay for TAA by raising the fines on small businesses who make an error in filing 1099 forms for subcontractors or tip workers.

In essence, the two corporate puppets, Boehner and Ryan, are serving up the heads of small business owners across the nation to pay for the job losses that will occur as a result of their sweetheart deal to corporate global interests, the ones they truly are working for. The Democrats know Obamatrade kills jobs and targets American workers, as do the Republicans. For some reason the Democrats recognize a political risk that the Republicans don’t.

We’ll need to show them. Boehner, Ryan and the rest of the Fascist tools belong with Eric Cantor and it is our job to make sure that they end up there. In the meantime, the number for the Capitol Switchboard is (202) 224-3121. All Americans need to light it up to stop this attack upon our nation and our citizens by these enemies within.

The first issue of business for Americans is to stop them in their tracks. The second order is to make sure they can no longer commit their treasonous acts upon this nation. Enough is enough, these traitors believe they can do whatever they please and there will be no consequences. They have to be shown just how wrong they are.
