Letter sent to Congress, which in part says:


We strongly urge you to support U.S. exports and jobs by approving legislation that reauthorizes the Export-Import Bank. It is the right thing to do for our economy, companies and workers.

Now we know he is a RINO.

It tends to reveal him as a corporatist or indebted to the Chamber of Commerce.

Forty one members of House of Representatives sign letter supporting ImEx Bank:
http://www.scribd.com/doc/230979243/Ex-Im-Letter-for-Signatures

And at least five senators say they will support it:
http://time.com/2969891/export-import-bank-congress-republicans/


Of the 23 current Senate Republicans who voted to extend the charter in 2012, five members—Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), Thad Cochran (R-Miss.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.)—have indicated publicly or to TIME that they support the bank. Freshman Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) supports the bank, as does Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.), who did not vote on the 2012 legislation but is working with Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W. Va.) on a bill to reauthorize its charter. Assuming all 53 Democratic Senators vote for the reauthorization, the Senate has enough votes to keep the bank alive.

Just out of curiousity I wonder how many Democrats support the Im Ex bank.

Tim Scott takes far too much cash from GS. He's totally compromised. Red flag.

All Democrats support it. The last time it passed in 2012, all Democrats in the House and Senate voted to reauthorize the bank.

For some reason I just knew that the Drone Queen would be on that list. corbett is no surprise, either. However, I'm shocked to see LePage there too! That's an awful blemish on his otherwise excellent record. Perhaps he's either paying back a favor, or setting himself up for one to be paid back to him. Another surprise is not seeing martin o'malley on there, he's bottom of the barrel as well.

Paulite thinking: If you don't adhere 100% to our ideology, you're a card-carrying communist/socialist/secret democrat/RINO/full-blown fascist.

Same thing could be said of a sub-group of people in any political group.

You dont see that type of thinking in democratic circles (or at least not as much). Otherwise nobody would have shown up in the 2012 election.

Sure you do. There's a bell curve of thinking in any group, political and otherwise.

Every once in a while, the crew at TYT actually said something that is sensible. The clip below about the in/ex bank is one of those rare times.

WATCH and ENJOY

Even krugman thinks so, although he argues right now is the worst possible time to do it.
