Republican Senators send a letter to Iran. Wow. Damn!

[PaintMyHouse]

If America really had a president there would have been no need to tell Iran anything. They'd have understood they weren't free to wipe other nations off the face of the earth. But, for now, they are correct in believing they can get away with it....and get an apology for America having made them do it.

Evidently obama had a smidgen of room in his ass after the Bibi insertion.

Bibi is ByeBye...

Republicans Warn Iran -- and Obama -- That Deal Won t Last - Bloomberg View

A group of 47 Republican senators has written an open letter to Iran's leaders warning them that any nuclear deal they sign with President Barack Obama's administration won’t last after Obama leaves office.

Organized by freshman Senator Tom Cotton and signed by the chamber's entire party leadership as well as potential 2016 presidential contenders Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and Rand Paul, the letter is meant not just to discourage the Iranian regime from signing a deal but also to pressure the White House into giving Congress some authority over the process.

“It has come to our attention while observing your nuclear negotiations with our government that you may not fully understand our constitutional system … Anything not approved by Congress is a mere executive agreement,” the senators wrote. “The next president could revoke such an executive agreement with the stroke of a pen and future Congresses could modify the terms of the agreement at any time.”

Arms-control advocates and supporters of the negotiations argue that the next president and the next Congress will have a hard time changing or canceling any Iran deal -- -- which is reportedly near done -- especially if it is working reasonably well.

Well, this is new, even in the world of the GOP batshit-crazy. This really does one-up it all. It's also kind of funny that there is a constitutional error in what the Senators wrote to the government of Iran. The Senate does NOT ratify treaties. That is even indicated directly on their Senate website. Instead, the Senate takes up a resolution of ratification, by which the Senate formally gives its advice and consent, empowering the president to proceed with ratification” . It's a fine point, almost splitting hairs, but worth noting.

So, Republicans hate this Democratic President so much that they are even willing to pen a letter to someone they consider an enemy of ours.

Back to the Bloomberg link:

It's stunning. And it's a rebuke on an international stage that doesn't really have a precedent. Imagine Democrats micro-managing the START talks in the 80s by sending an open letter to Gorbachev? It just wouldn't have been viewed as an acceptable political move while the talks were still happening.

The only conclusion we can make is that the GOP is not the loyal opposition, it is a severly disloyal opposition and deserves to be treated with disdain and contempt for such unamerican behavior. The GOP simply hates America, it's that simple.

So... you're saying that there are 47 Americans in the Senate?

Huh... I wouldn't have put it anywhere NEAR that high.

Obama mocks Republican letter to Iran over nuclear talks
BBC News - Obama mocks Republican letter to Iran over nuclear talks

US President Barack Obama has criticized a letter from Republican senators to Iran, accusing them of "interfering" in ongoing nuclear talks.

He said the 47 senators made an "unusual coalition" with Iran's hard-line religious leaders.

That's no shock as they are part of the American Taliban. Same ignorant mentality.

Well, if 47 Republican Senators go to jail, the Democrats will be in control. I wonder if McConnell signed the letter?

Keep smoking that dope!!

US Constitution:

[JakeStarkey]

The president make treaties, kid, not the Senate. The Senators can advise and consent (or not), nothing more. The Senators' letter was inv iolation of the law.

 

[Where_r_my_Keys]

Wow that's damn near treasonous. Interfering in the most important negotiation our country is facing in a way that benefits the enemy. But that's the GOP for you, politics before America.

ROFLMNAO!
Imagine an irony SO SWEET, that Leftists try to assert that Americans are traitors to the United States!

LMNAO!

Oh GOD! Now THAT is... ADORABLE!

“So, Republicans hate this Democratic President so much that they are even willing to pen a letter to someone they consider an enemy of ours.”

Sad but true.

And by doing so exhibit their collective ignorance and stupidity; this unwarranted interference by republican senators is clearly reckless and irresponsible.

The Republicans have clearly gone too far.

Tom Cotton Denies GOP Letter Undermines Iran Nuclear Talks - ABC News

“Let's be very clear: Republicans are undermining our commander in chief while empowering the ayatollahs,” Reid, D-Nev., said. “This letter is a hard slap in the face of not only the United States, but our allies. This is not a time to undermine our commander in chief purely out of spite.

“Today's unprecedented letter originated by a United States senator who took his oath of office 62 days ago,” Reid said. “As a kind of pettiness that diminishes us as a country in the eyes of the world. Republicans need to find a way to get over their animosity of President Obama. I can only hope that they do it sooner, rather than leader.”

Slap a Medal on him and throw that man a PARADE! Tom Cotton is a true American here! Running the offense to scuttle the subversive policy relative to obama's indigenous status... .

(The Left hasn't been able to come to grips with the reality that obama is no longer relevant.)

He doesn't need to be relevant he is the President of the United States and what he says goes. Only a true scumbag would want war over a peaceful solution that stops Iran from getting nukes.

 

[Zander]

The President is so reckless and irresponsible that the Senate felt compelled to write a letter. Tells you a lot about the lawless regime of Obama....maybe he can sign an executive order that abolishes the Constitution?

Yes... but it wasn't to obama, it was to the people obama reports to... . And they were tellign those douche-bags, that obama does not speak for the United States. And that any deal obama makes with them, is a waste of paper or even server space, as it has no chance of becoming formalized as, the United States is never going to allow Iran to get Nuclear Weapons.

But int heir defense, that's because they're Americans and THAT is how we ROLL!

Without Reagan's Treason, Iran Would Not Be a Problem

Bani-Sadr was a moderate and, as heexplained in an editorial for The Christian Science Monitorearlier this year, had successfully run for President on the popular position of releasing the hostages:

"I openly opposed the hostage-taking throughout the election campaign.... I won the election with over 76 percent of the vote.... Other candidates also were openly against hostage-taking, and overall, 96 percent of votes in that election were given to candidates who were against it [hostage-taking]."

Carter was confident that with Bani-Sadr's help, he could end the embarrassing hostage crisis that had been a thorn in his political side ever since it began in November of 1979.
But Carter underestimated the lengths his opponent in the 1980 Presidential election, California Governor Ronald Reagan, would go to screw him over.

Behind Carter's back, the Reagan campaignworked out a dealwith the leader of Iran's radical faction - Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini - to keep the hostages in captivity until after the 1980 Presidential election.

This was nothing short of treason. The Reagan campaign's secret negotiations with Khomeini - the so-called "October Surprise" - sabotaged Carter and Bani-Sadr's attempts to free the hostages. And as Bani-Sadrtold The Christian Science Monitor in Marchof this year, they most certainly "tipped the results of the [1980] election in Reagan's favor."
